Chadwick Boseman’s death Friday night sent shockwaves throughout the sports world.
Boseman, 43, was mostly known for his role in “Black Panther” but had roles in a few sports movies, as well. Boseman played Jackie Robinson in “42” and Vontae Mack in “Draft Day.”His death came the same day as Major League Baseball celebrated Robinson breaking the color barrier in 1947.
“We are devastated by the tragic loss of Chadwick Boseman. His transcendent performance in ‘42’ will stand the test of time and serve as a powerful vehicle to tell Jackie’s story to audiences for generations to come,” the league said in a statement.
