Though it's not disclosed here, both of this documentary's co-directors, as well as its music producer, are the grandsons of the film's main character Bing Russell, and the nephews of Bing's son Kurt Russell.
The sixth Netflix original documentary.
"Swannie", the left-handed catcher for the Mavericks, claims he may have been the only left-handed catcher to sign a professional baseball contract. That is not true. There were 16 left-handed catchers in the history professional baseball. The last one was Dale Long, who played in the major leagues from 1951 to 1963. He was primarily a first baseman, but did serve as catcher in two games for the Chicago Cubs in the 1958 season.
"Frank Peters: I once asked him, "Bing, how come you have such a variety of people around you?" And he says, "Frank, life and the Mavericks are like a movie. And a movie has one key scene, maybe it's only three minutes." I think he talked about the chimney sweep scene in Mary Poppins. "Everything builds up to that, and everything comes off of that. And you never know who's going to come up with that magical idea at that magic moment.""
"Todd Field: When I think about the Mavericks, I don't really think much about baseball. I think about those guys. I think about those characters, and the fact that they enjoyed themselves more than I'd ever seen grown men enjoy themselves. I remember thinking I hope I feel that way when I grow up. And that was as profound a guiding light as I would ever get."
