剧情简介
Chapman and Maclain Way’s energetic telling of one of baseball’s great, unheralded stories is as much about independent spirit as it is about the game. When Portland, Oregon, lost its longtime minor-league affiliate, Bing Russell—who briefly played ball professionally before enjoying a successful Hollywood acting career—bought the territory and formed a single-A team to operate outside the confines of major-league baseball. When they took the field in 1973, the Mavericks—the only independent team in America—started with two strikes against them. What did Deputy Clem from Bonanza know about baseball? Or Portland, for that matter? The only thing uniting his players, recruited at open tryouts, was that no other team wanted them. Skeptics agreed that it could never work. But Bing understood a ballplayer’s dreams, and he understood an audience. His quirky, unkempt castoffs won games, and they won fans, shattering minor-league attendance records. Their spirit was contagious, and during their short reign, the Mavericks—a restaurant owner turned manager, left-handed catcher, and blackballed pitcher among them—brought independence back to baseball and embodied what it was all about: the love of the game. - J.N.
观众心声
Kurt Russell 的爹，了不起。
開幕雷擊看到Kurt Russell我還以為是認錯人了 他真的是繼承了老爹能說會道的特質 看完有點想說網飛出品必屬精品 剪輯流暢 真有種時光穿梭到那個純真年代的錯覺 七十年代的那些比賽影像真的是太迷人 我能倒回去看上好幾遍 查了下 三年前 這支球隊又重生了 在打一個四支球隊組成的聯盟 這可能也是現在會去翻出這段歷史的引子
的确是很感动，但也很惋惜，如能再多几年机会，小牛队一定可以拿到冠军的吧！
几个比较印象深的地方：在被采访的时候，不同的人在描述Bing的棒球队运营风格都不约而同用到了Show这个词；明星球员雷吉在队伍解散之后，被警方认定失踪了至今没找到；Frank在离开球队之后竞选市长失败然后坐了31个月的牢（？？？）；离开球队的队员的去向一个个都太神奇了，从失踪犯罪到泯然众人到商业大亨和普利策奖奥斯卡奖提名；那个在光辉岁月里一直在一旁看着的球童；第一个女经理第一个亚洲经理第一个女球童都是这个队里出来的；Frank年轻的时候接受采访都情商太高了，而且到现在都还是帅的不行！
3+ 一个好莱坞二流演员、棒球资深爱好者，组建了一支非主流杂牌军一路逆袭，招致联盟的围剿，最后在决赛中憾负，并且不得不在短暂几年的狂欢后解散，队员散落四方，继续打球、开酒吧、成为作家以及当导演当到入围奥斯卡——这都是真实发生的事情。除了那些热爱、快乐、纯粹的说法之外，Bing Russell用一种好莱坞的方式、一种做show和导演的角度来管理和运营一支小俱乐部，在当时日趋职业化和商业化的大联盟都是独特的，他或许很早就看穿，职业体育赛事本质上也是娱乐业。
