  • I like how there's still footage being uploaded for this documentary o.o, great stuff...how much did you record?

  • @didoma73 - Thanks. We had two or three cameras running almost everyday for a 90-game season... From the time players arrived for BP to the last front office guy to leave the park. So... there's alot more on the way. Thanks for watching!

  • Great Video Man i love watching these.

  • @itsryderbetch - Thanks. There's alot more stuff to upload... It will take a while, but I appreciate your feedback. Glad there are some people that like to see the behind-the-scenes stuff. If you can, please share these videos with your friends on FB and Twitter... Thanks again!

  • Hahahaha. Curt Ford. Crazy motherfucker. He was my coach when I was like 13. I wish Doc would've hit him in the head, maybe it would've knocked some sense into him.

  • These videos are like crack. I can't stop watching.

  • @gordtep I'm also unable to verify all the circumstances Wally describes here, but I've found a likely game as a point of reference on 8/1/84. He didn't play in the Sept. '87 game so this one seems more likely. Doc actually hit a batter too though it was only the 4th hitter of the game and unlikely that he would confuse Darrell Porter with Curt Ford.

  • am I the only person who finds it fucked up at all that he is talking to a minor league pitcher and basically telling him "Hey, if your having a bad day and your about to be pulled just try to kill the next batter you face" this man should not be coaching.

  • @gordtep way to ruin the story dipshit

  • awesome stuff! love hearing what's going on in the dugout!

  • I love Wally but he was never hit by Nolan Ryan, never.

  • Playing for peanuts is great! I got to see in on CSS but i've got to get the DVD! you did a great job at catching the grassroots baseball. I love it!

  • Dude, this footage ROCKS.. You could have a feature if you keep this up. GREAT STUFF!!!
