Saw it, interesting.

He always managed to keep his cool + ignore the hecklers + concentrate on the game + play admirably under those conditions. A true athlete + sportsman indeed.

I enjoyed it. Learned quite a few things about the man that I didn't know. A few myths got "busted". I think he married well. Sharp lady.

I'm looking forward to the Ken Burns production; "Vietnam", due out next year. If it is anything like "The Civil War" by Ken Burns, it will be great.
