How many forum members saw James Earl Jones on Broadway in "The Great White Hope"?
This would have been in 1968.

I did. Is there another?

Gosh I'm getting old.

Your profile says you were born January 1 1970, so how were you 12 years old in 1968? By the way, do you ave an uncle with any cards I need?

Don't know how many of you have seen the movie Meteor Man but Jones plays a neighborhood character that wears many Negro League shirts and jerseys throughout the movie. It was the first time I remember seeing Negro League jerseys when I was a kid and it got me interested in their players and history. I was already a baseball nerd by then and it's what I remember most about the movie.
