    Written by GenerationofSwine on Thu Jan 12 2023
    I guess this is a documentary on the Civil War and how Jackie Robinson finally won it by playing baseball. At least that is what the focus seemed to be. The Civil War and Jackie Robinson. There is a lot more to baseball that that, and, honestly, with all due respect to Jackie Robinson, there is a lot more to baseball than him. Honestly, it makes the sport seem like a downer. It makes it seem depressing. He has interviews here of people talking about how fun baseball was... and he makes it seem depressing and almost evil. There are people on the interview that talk of father-son bonding...
