A Great, Heartwarming Documentary

Life has changed, and today it is in no way unusual to see Black ballplayers filling the rosters of MLB teams, but such was not the case before 1947. This documentary tells the remarkable story, at times joyous but also sadly tragic, of the Black ballplayers who joined together to form the Negro Leagues. Great first-hand recollections of these magnificent players, and of the many experiences they had. Cool Papa Bell, Satchel Paige, Jimmie Crutchfield, Buck Leonard and Chet Brewer take us back to that place not so very long ago, when Black players were forbidden to play in the Major Leagues, yet were able to form a league of their own. Could not recommend this documentary highly enough if you get a chance to watch it.
