Used to be the only way you could watch it was to buy the physical DVD or pay for it on Vimeo. Being on Amazon really opens it up for a lot of people. And I think the DVD/Vimeo route was like $20.

I'll buy it for $10.

I've had the chance to chat with Scott Siepker a few times. Solid guy who takes his projects seriously. Pretty talented film maker too.

Not sure if it's mentioned in the documentary, but his high school rival was Bob Feller and they were occasional battery mates (pitcher and catcher) on American legion type teams

I'm bumping this thread to share that this is being aired on PBS Monday, March 6 at 6:30 PM. I already have my DVR set and can't wait to see it!
