I am watching "The Battered Bastards of Baseball" - a documentary on Netflix about the Portland Mavericks of the 1970s and their team owner Bing Russell, actor from Gunsmoke and father of actor Kurt Russell.

Great movie about a baseball team.

I grew up in Portland and attended many games when I was college age! They were the most fun team we ever had so I thoroughly enjoyed the documentary as it brought back many memories. I have 2 team photos in perfect condition that I treasure!
