I rarely review documentaries, but this one is too good to pass up. It's the story of Bing Russell, who grew up befriending a couple legendary New York Yankees. He went on to be a Hollywood actor and was in popular movies and shows like "Bonanza". But his lifelong love of baseball never died and when the Portland Beavers, a minor league team, left the city, he moved in and formed a new team. The Mavericks were made up of misfits, oddballs, and real characters, and everyone was welcome to tryout for the team. They quickly endeared themselves to the fans in town because of their quirky nature. Even if you're not a baseball aficionado, you'll enjoy this movie. It's the classic tale of the underdog making good, and you'll be rooting for the team the whole way!
4 out of 5 stars
