The Battered Bastards of Baseball is a 2014 documentary film about the Portland Mavericks, a defunct Minor League Baseball team which operated from 1973 through 1977. Owned by actor Bing Russell, the Mavericks were independent of Major League Baseball (MLB) teams, despite competing in a league of teams with MLB affiliates.
I watch it last night, it was very entertaining .

A good friend of mine wrote a book about minor league baseball in the 90's. Its amazing how these guys are willing to surrender years of their lives for the unlikely chance of ever making it to the Majors.

That was amazingly entertaining. Wondering how long we'll have to wait for a feature film on the subject.

Wow, that was truly fun...what a great joy to watch. Little stories like this - that nobody ever heard of...truly make documentaries.
ETA: And I thank the OP to bringing this to my attention...and everyone's attention.
I look to this board to find gems and OP did it.

I've seen it twice. Quickly became one of my favorites.

BTW, Bing Russell's grandson (Kurt's son) is in Everbody Wants Some, Richard Linklater's new college baseball movie.

+1 on the documentary
Oh man, Linklater, baseball, 80's some of my favorite things.
My expectations are high... hope it's good.

Thanks for posting. I just finished this and after starting a little slow, it was a great story and very entertaining. Gotta love how Bing always had a cigarette and a beer in hand.

Ole Bing definitely seemed like the coolest of dudes
