scenario Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) There's a documentary coming out on July 13th called "Ballplayer"... it's about baseball in the DR. Sounds like an expose of recruiting... how young kids are practically pimped to MLB teams... use of PEDs, lying about ages, skimming bonuses, etc. Looks like it will be fascinating. http://peloterothemovie.com/ Anybody familiar with this?

The Ginger Kid Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Looks interesting. There was a pretty good movie about that life, Sugar, that came out a couple of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
