The Battered Bastards Of Baseball is simply, a fun documentary. If you are a baseball fan, you will love this movie. It takes us to a time when sports was simpler. No huge contracts, just the willingness to play ball for the love of the game. The movie itself is sort of a time travel to Portland Oregon back in the 1the Portland Mavericks. Typical of Portland, the city takes a chance on an independent team. What happens after the decision to host a "not so typical" franchise is what makes the movie so fascinating.
Because the movie is so unique, I do not want to give too much away. However there is a strange twist in the ownership that would surprise many watching the movie. The owner's son is a future Hollywood celebrity. The movie provides insight why this celebrity comes across so genuine. It is fascinating to have such insight into a person's life.
The Mavericks were literally the Bad News Bears of adult professional baseball. Rich in humor and diversity, you feel like you missed a part of baseball history. I found myself wanting to be a part of the time period. Intriguing to watch, as we may never see a future franchise with such colorful characters, I highly recommend you watch this documentary.
