The Ghost and Josh Gibson

Synopsis: Josh Gibson and Satchel Paige, both black and arguably the two greatest baseball players who ever lived, meet on a warm winter night in 1947 just before Jackie Robinson is brought up to the Brooklyn Dodgers as the first African American ever to play Major League Baseball. A poignant last encounter between two baseball legends takes place when pitcher, Satchel, learns that Josh ("The Black Babe Ruth") is dying of terminal brain cancer.
