	> Jackie played himself in this documentary-type movie about his > rise to fame as the 1st black to play in organized baseball. Not ORGANIZED baseball, there was plenty of that around for almost a century before Robinson played. The Negro leagues were "organized" baseball. Jackie Robinson was the first black to play in what we still know as Major League Baseball. - tom]
