TV Baseball Series: The Show
I was channel surfing and ran across this series. Narrated by Joe Mantegna(sp? from 'Searching for Bobby Fischer' fame among others), it tells the story of 5 real minor leaguers with interviews, on-field clips of minor and major league play etc. It is quite an enjoyable show. It's about 2 years old and has Carlos Quentin, Chris Young (both now doing quite well), Brian Barden, Nippert, and Murphy (sorry, out of town using someones laptop and connection and hard to bounce around for information, so can't find full names). The script is well written in my opinion with real insight of not only how tough it is to make it to 'The Show', but what it takes for skill, mindset and fortitude. Not sure how many episodes, but I've seen about 6 seperate ones so far. Just wanted to do a 'heads up'. Or if anyone has been watching this show what their opinion of it is. I found it on a HiDef station, MOJO.

Never heard of MOJO. Maybe if it does well ESPN will pick it up. Or even NESN, the New England Sports Network.

Hey Swampy, you ever get around to watching this? Looks like there is just 6 episodes that seem to repeat over and over again. But again, hearing folks who are in the business from Managers, GM's and players in the minors is pretty interesting. Plus some major leaguers' who did time in the minors and have since really played well in the Majors is interesting too. Just a good show series imho.

I've pretty much confirmed there's just 6 shows that they repeat and repeat. But I again emphasize if you are a fan of baseball at all, these shows are quite enjoyable. The insight of minor leaguers struggles and aspiration is very well done. Good interviews with top to down folks of the organization.
