映画: The Battered Basters of Baseball

Watched Battered Bastards of Baseball.
★★★★
It is a Netflix original documentary about a single-A independent professional baseball team, Portland Mavericks, created by Kurt Russell's father, Bing Russell.
It is a short film, just over an hour, but it was well made and the story is very interesting. I'm surprised no one has made it into a "based on a true story" movie yet.
It is a typical David and Goliath story, but it's in real life, with American dream in this very American institution of baseball. The team lasted only a few years but even how the team ends is a story in and of itself.
It is worth watching.
