The Jackie Robinson Story
One of the best and biggest "hidden" sites in the Web is the Internet Archive. It features the "Wayback Machine," which is an excellent way to find old stories that haven't even been archived by Google. I sometimes use it to find articles we published at SportsJones.com, where I was executive editor. Many of those articles can't be accessed anywhere else. Which is kind of amazing, when you consider that back in the late '90s, we thought that once something was posted on the Net, it would never go away. But stuff does disappear.
Once in a while I just check out the audio and video files hosted by the Archive. There's not a ton of baseball-related material, but there are some gems, including a full, downloadable version of "The Jackie Robinson Story."
