Saltzman Sees...Soul of the Game (1996)

Soul of the Game is the true story of Jackie Robinson, Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson: arguably the three greatest Negro League Ballplayers of All-Time.  At a time when Major League Baseball was refusing to allow black players to play, one man was looking for the right man to be first.  This story shows what happened before and after that memorable day on April 15, 1947 when Robinson broke the color barrier in Professional Baseball in America. Delroy Lindo, Mykelti Williamson and Blair Underwood star as Paige, Gibson and Robinson and they are all masterful in this gripping look at what happened.
