Thanks for heads up...
Sounds like a must see movie! Ryne Duren was supposed to be blazing fast, not the most consistent with control. Y'all probably know my thoughts on Ryan - won't go there again. But where the fastball is measured from is indeed critical. I have heard the ball can slow down about 8 mph from mound to home plate. Guinness Books took point of measurement into consideration and Ryan is still fastest KING ! While very fast, the mechanics of Walter Johnson held him back a few mph. And the pitching mound - was higher pre-1969 definitely helped out a few pitchers, dare I mention names? Ryan never had the higher mound - if he did, boy, oh, boy what could have been! Can't wait to see the movie!

You will love it, I know I did. It's great to see a doc about baseball that focuses on science without ignoring the romance and fun along the way.
