Is "BBoB" available to view for non netflix users?
If so, where can we find it?

I added it to my queue last night and I'm pretty sure it said that this was a Netflix original movie. The only way you'll probably find a copy (for now) is if someone ripped it from Netflix and uploaded it somewhere.

Also, Netflix offers a free month trial subscription. If you really want to watch this then sign up for the free month... just make sure you cancel before your month is up or they'll charge you the $7.99 monthly rate.

I didn't know there was such a thing?

Zach's right it is a Netflix original.

Zach & Jim, thanks for the info.

After you finish watching Battered Bastards of Baseball, you must watch Knuckleball. It's a documentary that focuses on Tim Wakefield and R.A. Dickey. It gives you a great perspective on what goes on in the mind of a knuckleball pitcher.

I've become a big fan of these knuckleball pitchers after watching this.

As far as "The Baseball World of Joe Garagiola", you can find some of the episodes on YouTube.

Here is one to get you started.

Really? I thought that one was terrible. It's a disjointed mess of a movie that jumps all over the place. Great subject ruined by bad filmmaking.

Saw the ad on tv and qued it up almost immediately. I am a sucker for any baseball documentary and this one did not let me down. I also just went through the full run of "Pecos League" on demand. A interesting look at some of the characters of the lowest level of affiliated baseball.

Finally got to watch this tonight and I loved it.
