The Battered Bastards of Baseball
With all this talk about battered baseball cards and their miraculous recovery, has anyone else seen the documentary now on Netflix "The Battered Bastards of Baseball"?
If not, it's worth a hour and a half. Without spoiling the ending, it's the story of an independent baseball team in Portland, OR run by Bing Russell, father of Kurt Russell. True story of baseball, dreams and American entrepreneurship.

it is wonderful. I was working on a small scale documentary at the time (in budget, not in any other way) and I had hit a wall. I credit BBB for rekindling the flame.
