- Originally broadcast on WQED-TV, Pittsburgh in the early 1990s, this program chronicles the history of the Negro baseball leagues through the memories of Hall-of-Famers Monte Irvin, Buck Leonard, and Satchel Paige, as well as the comments of playwright August Wilson, novelist John Edgar Wideman, and journalist Mal Goode.
I am a Filipino but after watching 42 I became obsessed with watching these videos. Truly this these men are such an inspiration. They enjoy the game regardless of the circumstances during the time and remain thankful. Love, love them.
Filipino woman and baseball amfmy two lpve.
Saw this years ago, lost my VHS tape that my grandfather made for me. Thanks a million!!! I can see this again.
This is an excellent video of an oft overlooked aspect of a game that is near and dear to my heart. Many thanks.
I had this on VHS when I was a teenager. Always thought there should be a set of these describing the teams, the all stars, etc.
Excellent upload- much respect!!!
The class and dignity of these men us extraordinary. You see why they were the greatest generation
They deserved far better.
The last 10 minutes summed up perfectly what "the great experiment " was really about.
The integration of baseball killed a industry that was thriving in the black community during the depression and was a shining example of seeing blacks using there economic power.
Black: Owner, players, employees, writers, coaches, umpires and patrons it all makes sense

Only two grammatical errors in Reggie Reg's post. Not bad for a supporter of segregation, usually "there" not near that literate.

Negro League was the best league.
Wonderful!!
Very well done! Uses that "Burns effect" on the stills. Glad I'm watching, thanks!

Only 26k views on an amazing video?
Josh Gibson the greatest!
What year did Joe Black give this introduction?
It says 1993 in the title, that's around the time I got the vhs, I'm assuming then? Or maybe they filmed it earlier, inserting it later.
FROM A CAUCASION. HOW CAN ANYBODY TALK ABOUT BASEBALL HAVING A GOLDEN ERA, WHEN SO MANY GREATS WERE DENIED OPPORTUNIES. SATCHELL PAIGE, JOSH GIBSON, ETC
