GENTLE GIANT THE ANDRE RODGERS STORY<br />
Director: Gina Sealy<br />
Bahamas / 2014 / 60 min /<br />
English / BluRay<br />
Born in 1934, Andre Rodgers grew up in the<br />
Bahamas, then a British colony. He played<br />
cricket and had never even seen a baseball<br />
game before 1954 when he tried out for the<br />
San Francisco Giants. Rodgers was signed<br />
immediately and became a minor league phenom<br />
before playing 11 years in the majors.<br />
In this documentary directed, produced and<br />
narrated by Rodgers’ daughter, Gina Sealy,<br />
Baseball Hall of Famers Ernie Banks and<br />
Orlando Cepeda, as well as John Jordan<br />
“Buck” O’Neil, the first black coach in major<br />
league baseball, all talk about how Andre,<br />
with his gentle disposition, taught them to<br />
deal with racism and navigate the unknown<br />
and invisible boundaries of the color barrier<br />
on and off the baseball fields of America.<br />
Rodgers is credited with changing the face of sports in the Bahamas.<br />
