I will recommend this movie to my father who has been a Cubs fan since he was a child, and at almost age 83, he remembers well when Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in major league baseball.
My father is a long suffering Cubs fan also. And is about that age as well. 82 now.

Thanks for the review. I''ll wait a few weeks though because it will probably be quite crowded here in the Villages for that movie.
