View Thread : This Old Cub Documentary


DMiller
I don't know how many of you are interested in documentaries, I'm sure OB1 is, but if you are This Old Cub is a must-see. It's a documentary about Ron Santo who was one of the best 3rd basemen in baseball and played with juvenile diabetes. It's not a downer movie at all, which is what a lot of people would expect. The movie is very uplifting and is one of the best documentaries I have seen. I know I'm a Cub fan so I'm a bit biased, but people outside Chicago have been saying this is an early frontrunner for an Academy Award for Best Documentary. I don't think it's playing outside of the Chicago area yet, but look for it in the next few weeks if you are interested as it is supposed to be released in other cities pretty soon.
