2014美国纪录片《被殴打的棒球杂种》由Chapman Way导演，影片讲述的是：
Chapman and Maclain Way’s energetic telling of one of baseball’s great unheralded stories is as much about independent spirit as it is about the game When Portland Oregon lost its longtime minorleague affiliate Bing Russell—who briefly played ball professionally before enjoying a successful Hollywood acting career—bought the territory and formed a singleA team to operate outside the confines of majorleague baseball When they took the field in 1973 the Mavericks—the only independent team in America—started with two strikes against them What did Deputy Clem from Bonanza know about baseball Or Portland for that matter The only thing uniting his players recruited at open tryouts was that no other team wanted them Skeptics agreed that it could never work
But Bing understood a ballplayer’s dreams and he understood an audience His quirky unkempt castoffs won games and they won fans shattering minorleague attendance records Their spirit was contagious and during their short reign the Mavericks—a restaurant owner turned manager lefthanded catcher and blackballed pitcher among them—brought independence back to baseball and embodied what it was all about the love of the game
