Bing Russell had two loves in life Baseball and Acting he had a successful stage and screen career but baseball would never leave him. After the baseball league took the only team Portland had out of the city and relocated them Bing Russel stepped in and went again every thing major league baseball stood for and he created his own independent team to compete against the big boys. He held tryouts and every reject from all across America showed up with the hopes of one last chance to live their dreams. The team he assembled was rough and ready for battle they were the opposite of what was the norm in baseball they were out of shape unshaven and hard drinking but they were what was missing from baseball they were entertaining fun and real but on top of that they were naturally gifted ball players and what they did shocked the establishment to its very core.

Absolutely fantastic documentary showing that if you put your mind to it you can do anything. We always hear of the American Dream well this a perfect example of that. Never under estimate the small guy because sheer will and heart can get you to where you want to go in life.

I forgot to mention that Bing Russell is Kurt Russell's father and he and his mother are heavily involved in this documentary. This is a real heartwarmerming story about men who had given up on their dreams and this gave them something to fight for gave them meaning and purpose.

8/10
