Hey baseball fans! We’re still hard at work on Season 2 of Play Ball: Baseball at the Movies (Update as of 3/20/2020). However, due to the delay of the 2020 baseball season, we’ve decided to release the Season 2 premiere early for everyone practicing social distancing and self-quarantining. Wishing you all a safe and healthy start to the Spring!
On this episode, we’re diving into Bernie Mac’s screwball comedy Mr. 3000. After introducing the movie, we walk through the plot (11:18) and review the film (48:27). Then, on Inside Baseball, we give a rundown of the actual 3000 hit club (1:01:14); We discuss the greatest player comeback of all time (1:15:50); And we name our top 5 women baseball journalists (1:32:45); Rounding Third, it’s time for another round of everyone’s favorite segment - Barry Bonds: What the Fuck?! (1:59:16); Sliding into home, we look into Bernie Mac’s real baseball fandom (2:08:00), then rate the film (2:10:34) and preview Episode 2.
Play Ball: Baseball at the Movies is produced by Paul Leschofs and Andrew Knopp. Our theme music, Slow Burn, was created by Kevin MacLeod. Our mascot was designed by Yehudi Mercado. Our intro uses clips from the following films from which we do not claim any ownership: Field of Dreams (Universal Pictures), The Natural (TriStar Pictures), Moneyball (Columbia Pictures), The Sandlot (20th Century Fox), Bull Durham(Orion Pictures), and A League of Their Own (Columbia Pictures).
