Overview:
In 1945, the world of baseball is divided between the Majors and the Negro Leagues – but the time has come for change. One team will be the first to sign a black player and only one player will be the first to take the field. The Brooklyn Dodgers want to make the deal that will make history. But the man they choose will have to be more than a great player – he has to have the charisma of a star. It soon comes down to three powerful and extraordinary players: legendary pitcher Satchel Paige; the greatest hitter in baseball Josh Gibson; and a rookie by the name of Jackie Robinson. Three player – three friends – three champions. Together they are unbeatable – but only one will cross the home plate into history.
