Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
An aging Satchel Paige wanted to be the first African American baseball player to integrate the major leagues after World War II. Of course, things didn't work out that way: the visibly dignified and younger Jackie Robinson got the nod, while the Negro Leagues he left behind carried on with such brilliant talents as Josh Gibson segregated from deserving opportunities. This HBO movie concerns the period just before Robinson was pressed into a difficult role breaking the color barrier, and the rich script by David Himmelstein and Gary Hoffman concerns his aspirations as well as those of the frustrated Paige and the deteriorating Gibson. Blair Underwood plays Robinson with an expected nobility, while Delroy Lindo is superb as Paige as is Mykelti Williamson as Gibson. Directed by Kevin Rodney Sullivan, the film really does fill a gap in a viewer's imagination about what these three legendary men must have been going through--and much of it is painful to witness. With Edward Herrmann as Branch Rickey. --Tom Keogh

Everyone knows integration has to happen and it will be sooner rather than later. But Judge Landis, the Major League Commissioner keeps trying to stop it. Some of the greatest ... Read More

Great movie depicting one of the most important times baseball ever went through. Also does a great job showing three of baseball's greatest people to influence the game. The movie sheds some light on what happened to Josh Gibson and what hindered him from becoming the greatest power hitter of all time. Delroy Lindo does an outstanding job as Satchel Paige.

A great look at Black baseball in the early days before blacks where accepted into the league. It shows how special these players where and how important it was to break the color barrier and make baseball as it is today! A absolutly great DVD!

I have been a student of the history of baseball since my father wanted me to read books at the age of seven. I have read about one hundred books about baseball. I have written a novel which includes the early days of baseball.
I have read and watched several books and movies about Jackie Robinson, Sachel Paige, and Josh Gibson.
Soul of the Game does in excellent job of capturing the passion, complexity, and bitterness of these three men. Their hostility and anguish for being ... Read More
