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. You can view the movie in its entire­ty for free on Youtube.
