Trailer for the documentary The Battered Bastards of Baseball.

The jaw-dropping true story of a real-life "Bad News Bears," this inspiring documentary recounts the history of the Portland Mavericks, an independent professional baseball team that briefly broke attendance records in 1973 with a roster that included a blacklisted former Yankee pitcher, a left-handed catcher, the sport's first female general manager, and young movie star Kurt Russell, whose actor father Bing was the scrappy team's owner.
