Summary

Josh Duhamel (Transformers) stars as legendary former MLB All-Star pitcher Bill 'Spaceman' Lee in this darkly comedic, sometimes absurd, and mostly true saga from the producer of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. In the twilight of a long career as one of baseball's all-time great eccentrics, Lee is cut from the Montreal Expos in 1982. When he finds himself blackballed by the rest of the league for his outspoken politics (his views being "somewhere left of Che Guevara"), anti-management stance, and enthusiastic drug use, he stubbornly refuses to quit the game he loves. -- (C) Lorber Films, 2016, USA
