Editorial Reviews

Directed by Oscar nominee Chuck Braverman (Curtain Call; American Time Capsule), BOTTOM OF THE NINTH, is a real-life Bull Durham.This documentary chronicles a season with the Somerset Patriots, a minor league baseball team in a race for the championship. Interviews with players and coaches reveal that the heat and soul of America’s national pastime is not with the overpaid, scandal-ridden major leagues but in the farm clubs and minors where team members play out of a true passion for the game.

This review is from: Bottom of the Ninth (DVD)

Very well done documentary (although brief, approx. 50 min.)about independent minor league baseball from the players and coaches perspective, sharing their hopes and dreams, past and present. Baseball lovers will understand and appreciate the emotions coming from these players as they try to live their dream just one more year as age and other realities are changing the "dream".
The movie can be viewed with the adult language or in a more child friendly version....a nice touch but its not for small children anyway in my opinion
