Matt Roush says...
An upbeat documentary from directors Morgan Neville (20 Feet from Stardom) and Jeff Malmberg is a redemption story about baseball and family, profiling the irrepressible Mike Veeck, a born hustler following the lead of his promoter father Bill. Mike’s career imploded after the disastrous “Disco Demolition Night” at Chicago’s Comiskey Park in 1979, but his second chance arrived when he began running the minor league St. Paul Saints, a team known for giving others (including disgraced pro Darryl Strawberry) a fresh start. Jeff Daniels narrates the film, with It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s Charlie Day playing the younger Veeck in dramatic recreations.
