The Battered Bastards of Baseball is one of baseball's last great, unheralded true stories. In 1973, Hollywood veteran Bing Russell created the only independent baseball team in America at the time, the legendary Portland Mavericks. Bing operated without a Major League affiliation while playing in a city that was considered a wasteland for professional baseball.
"A documentary about a more innocent era of baseball—when only love for the sport and willpower were enough to achieve great things. The result is fun and rebellious, giving us a glimpse of the effervescence of those times. Recommended for sports fans or those looking to uncover Hollywood stars' curiosities."
