Raysfan12 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Couple of my choices:Game 162: As others said, this was a huge moment in baseball history and it would be interesting how 30 for 30 would handle it.Doctors of Dunk: This was the Fab 5 before the Fab 5 came. These guys reinvented the dunk in college basketball and turned Louisville into a National power.1994 Strike (replacement players): It would be cool if they look at the strike from the replacement player's viewOthers would be Fresno State baseball's cinderella run, 2008 Tampa Bay Rays, and the run of the 2007 New York Giants.

pmoehrin Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Something on Lloyd "Sweet Pea" Daniels (or maybe "playground" legends in general)I would add Pearl Washington to that list as well, but as soon as I thought of him, I just figured why not do Big East basketball during the 1980's.Just look at the coaches alone they had in the conference then. John Thompson, Lou Carnesecca, Rollie Massimino, Jim Boeheim, Jim Calhoun, Rick Pitino, P.J. Carlesimo. I don't know if you will ever see that kind of coaching depth in a conference again.

HedleyLamarr Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 The Fresno State baseball championship wouldn't be all that good a movie. Sure, they had a great postseason run, but it wasn't like they came out of nowhere to win the national championship. They were #18 in the preseason rankings. They just underachieved during the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the whole situation with chasing the fans around the stands for the ball is probably the craziest story I've ever heard. And forget that stupid goat, it was "Merkle's Boner" that led to the Cubs curse more than anything.

It's not really about the Cubs...but since they won, they come up a lot. It's not about the Merkle play, but there is a lot on it. It's about the whole bizarre culture of baseball (with some non-baseball asides) at the time. If you think players are jerks now...

OnWis97 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I'll add...something on the Negro Leagues...maybe Satchel Paige. I read a biography and he was an interesting guy. Or just the Negro leagues in general.I think my "dream" (which would be impossible to fill) would be for a bunch on the pre-1960 baseball...Negro Leagues, Deadball, Merkle, Ty Cobb, etc. but full of (non-existance) game footage.

sc49erfan15 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 An in-depth documentary on the 2006-07 Winthrop Eagles, their 29-5 overall record, the first Big South team ever to sweep its conference schedule, tournament, and become ranked in the AP Top 25, then beating Notre Dame on the day before St. Patrick's Day (while we actually had a player from Ireland). The coach was Gregg Marshall of recent Final Four fame, our fan-favorite backup point guard died in a car accident 2 months later... the story writes itself. Hey, they can even use the cover of an existing documentary featuring a certain dapper young gent on the cover... In all seriousness, I'd like to see something on how minor league baseball has reinvented itself after its popularity started to decline in the '70s. Maybe just something about minor league baseball life in general. I also really enjoyed the series ESPN had years ago about life in the NBDL.
