@Jack: As I understand it, Ric...@Norma: thank you!<br /><br />@Jack: As I understand it, Rickey had it in mind for awhile, and the death of the longtime commissioner a few years earlier made it possible. That commissioner had been completely opposed to the concept.<br /><br />@Mari: it would have been a shock.<br /><br />@Lulu: he was definitely a brave man to go out there and put himself on the line.<br /><br />@Parsnip: thank you!<br /><br />@Cheryl: you'll enjoy it.<br /><br />@Lynn: I'm a bit of the opposite.

I haven't seen the movie yet. I have read a lot about Rickey and Robinson. It was always said that Rickey waited until he found an exceptional player with the right tough personality to deal with all of the hate that was inevitable. And, a Southern star player -- Pee Wee Reese -- stepped up and defended Robinson so that other lesser players fell into line.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323811980627840654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630295318214379308.post-11751807319659526432013-04-17T19:33:56.836-04:002013-04-17T19:33:56.836-04:00I'm not normally a fan of movies about sports,...I'm not normally a fan of movies about sports, but I think I'd like this one. Branch Rickey's granddaughter was interviewed on our local news Sunday and gave a bit more of the history between her grandfather and Mr. Robinson.<br /><br />Great review, as always!
