No love for Mykelti as Josh Gibson?

Before he married her, his wife was my neighbor.

Good actor, I remembered him more from the movie Heat.
 
I had heard this story told by Vin Scully about how Jackie Robinson Day came about...but the guy who came up with the idea was a much less notable player than Pee Wee Reese, as Vin told it...and it was after Robinson had been recieving numerous death threats.

Jackie Robinson's reach: Orlando Cepeda recalls how baseball legend paved way for black latinos too.
Baseball's unwritten, unspoken color line that Jackie Robinson broke in 1947 was not just for all those players whose careers were confined to the Negro Leagues, but for all the Latin players as well.

Mods or Admin can remove this if it's breaking any rules.

Here is a link to a high-quality online stream of the movie "42". It has Japanese subtitles, but it does not really distract much at all.

If anyone's interested: removed
