This week, we’re joined by Jared McKetiak to talk about the 1996 Made For HBO movie Soul of the Game, examining the lives and careers of Satchell Paige (Delroy Lindo), Josh Gibson (Mykelti Williamson) and Jackie Robinson (Blair Underwood) just prior to Robinson’s signing with the Brooklyn Dodgers to break the color barrier in professional baseball.
