The Yankees are off today for the first time in 16 days before starting a weekend series with the Oakland Athletics at home. I wanted to take this opportunity, after recently seeing the movie "42" finally, to recommend another movie centered around the Negro Leagues, Jackie Robinson, Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, Roy Campanella, etc. The name of the movie is Soul of the Game and came out in 1996 telling the story of Branch Rickey and the players aforementioned coming up through the big leagues and playing in the Negro Leagues. It's really a great movie that never really got enough attention but maybe with the recent success of 42 that will change. You can watch the movie in its entirety above so feel free to check it out because it really is a great movie that tells a great story.
