I almost wrote about this today
My JetBlue flight from Oakland to NY was delayed 8 hours on Sunday, and the only balm was watching most of the Dodgers-Padres game on ESPN. King's right: that's the way to do history, wrapped up in something a lot of other people who don't know they care about history will be watching for other reasons. It was seamless, they worked the play by play into the interviews, and you also got a glimpse of these everyday heroes enjoying remembering Jackie Robinson but also enjoying being part of the game. I loved the Oakland banter between those Oakland natives, the "intellectual" Joe Morgan and "athletic" Frank Robinson. I hope they figure out other things to do it around.
