A documentary of Lefty relievers that pitch on average to one hitter would be interesting too

Thought not a vintage player, how about Matt Bush?

- reminds of Ron Leflore

second chances are frequently overvalued and certainly overplayed, but this one may stand out...if he stays on the straight and narrow...

...and makes a personal stand against drunk driving and works and contributes to victims rights.

I hope we all wish this guy good luck and hope he succeeds in the rest of his life.

RA Dickey is one that I would like to see and probably remains plausible as his memoir could serve as the source material; updated to capture his All-Star / Cy Young year (2012) and resulting payday.
I think Hollywood might see the story as having appeal similar to The Rookie (Jim Morris).
There seem to be the right number of movie moments ... the withdrawal of his signing bonus due to the missing arm ligament, his utter lack of MLB success (which can be illustrated with his six HR outing in 2006), appearing to be finished and resorting to learning the knuckleball, declining to take a contract to pitch in Korea because he dreamed of pitching in the majors again, getting that chance and eventually making the All-Star team, winning the Cy Young Award, and earning millions at an age when most pitchers are retired.

looks like ESPN 30/30 did a "short" feature, but a feature film sure wouldn't suck.
