Here is part of a story on what Robert Redford is into today.

Redford said he'll tackle the "inside, down-to-the mats story" of how Branch Rickey helped Jackie Robinson break into major league baseball in 1947.

"What Rickey had to do, what Robinson had to go through, and the partnership they had to form, that's a story nobody knows," Redford said. "It's just a fascinating story."

Glad to hear that this story maybe made into a movie.

Maybe they could actually come to the Portsmouth area to shoot some of it. That would be cool.

I would think that no one can do a story or movie on Branch Rickey, without coming to Portsmouth. Who knows..

I think I saw Mr. Redford out on Duck Run today? JK It would be neat to get some footage of the old homeplace in the work.

enlighten me please who is the guy? what did he do?
I have never heard of him.

Thanks Tobias, I wasn't thnking that some people wouldn't know who Branch Rickey was.
