SPACEMAN: A BASEBALL ODYSSEY
RELEASE DATE: SEPTEMBER 26, 2006
Throughout the 1970's, Bill Lee was the ultimate gonzo baseball player, a brilliant
left-handed pitcher who flouted every manager or front office executive who tried to control him. Blacklisted from professional baseball in 1983, Lee was left to roam the world in search of a chance to play the game he loves. The film follows Lee, approaching sixty years young, on a road trip from his farm in Vermont to the impoverished baseball mecca of Cuba and on to his triumphant return to Fenway Park. Along the way, we hear from former teammates, family members, sportswriters, fans, and especially Lee himself about the unique life and career that spawned the legend of a ballplayer who will forever be known as simply the SPACEMAN.
