Looking for Oscar
An excellent baseball documentary with interview clips from numerous baseball personalities. It really complements "Ken Burns' Baseball" you can see on PBS. Looking for Oscar chronicles one man's search to find the baseball of his youth, as represented by player Oscar Gamble, AKA "The Greatest Afro of All-Time." Interviews with sports authority and super-fan Bob Costas, "Bull Durham" director Ron Shelton and some of the game's more colorful characters like Bill "Spaceman" Lee, Al "The Mad Hungarian" Hrabosky and Hall of Famer Fergie Jenkins, take the viewer back to a time when players had more heart than salary, more hair than could fit under their caps and more polyester than should have been allowed. —Mistah E
