Contrary to what was previously stated about Babe Ruth not playing with black baseball players due to Jackie Robinson not breaking baseball's color line until 1947, what the film does not explain is that major leaguers used to barnstorm in the off-season with players from the Negro Leagues. According to John Holway, a Negro League historian, "Ruth played against Negro Leaguers in Cuba, all over New Jersey and out West in Kansas City and St. Louis." (NYTimes)
