Really looking forward to this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9RHqdZDCF0

Harrison Ford as Branch Rickey looks very promising. Plus it's a fascinating piece of history.

I've needed a baseball fix lately for this long off-season. My team has had their true identity restored, so I've replaced my daily hat and t-shirts. It's gotten so bad that I've been watching old games from the 80s. I have several in their entirety.

his story was already made into a movie. Staring Jackie Robinson as himself.

Yeah. It's interesting because it actually has him playing himself. Beyond that, it's a very sterilized version of what went on. Typical 1950s Hollywood.

Looks really good. But couldn't they get Johnny Depp to play Robinson?
