@ Dr. Detfink
I only brought it up because the first Cuban to play Major League Baseball was Esteban Bellan in the 1870s! It seemed relevant when responding to comments on a film about the first African American to play in the league.

Boy, good thing I'll never famous because I would hate for people to make a point that I was half Cantonese and half Italian with an Irish last name that is often mistaken as Polish. I mean, REALLY we're going to break down the % of race on a guy? 

The most important thing we get from the Jackie Robinson story is how baseball actually was progressive when the color line was broken. You STILL had other professions that human beings would NOT sniff based on color of skin. I don't know how much more we need to complicate the fact that there are a lot of people who are VERY poor at breaking down racial characteristics. So yes a lot of people get homogenized in the process.

Looking forward to this movie, even though it does look like that typical sports style biopic. Give you an example, when Jackie got spiked. It could be conceived that it was race motivated but players get spiked all the time, making the throw from 2B to 1B.

Folks do know that there are white and black Cubans right? It doesn't take away the fact that he was an african american. Most black americans that descended from slaves are mixed with other races. I wonder if his death threats took any of his Cuban heritage into consideration.

Really good looking poster.  I hope the movie is good.

Looks good, I like the image. I will be wearing my #42 Brooklyn Dodgers jersey to the film when it comes out. To all you haters out there Jackie Robinson was the very first non white man to play in a major league uniform. Therefore, if it was not for him Roberto Clemente and other Hispanic players would not have had their chances. Robinson fully deserves the love from MLB and baseball fans worldwide that he gets. He fully deserves to have MLB retire his number and to have an MLB holiday in his honor every year on April 15th commemorating the day he broke down the color barrier. So to all you haters, please keep hating. Thank you.

Half Cuban or not. He was still a black man.

Lets hope after the success of Lincoln, Hollywood makes more movies about historical figures.
