Birmingham Southern Baseball Part Of Documentary As Team Fights For A National Title Without An Open School
The story of Birmingham Southern's run to the Division III College World Series is one that should be remembered for years to come, and thankfully, that will be the case.
As the school closed its doors for good on Friday, the baseball team is fighting for a national championship in the Cleveland area, which has caught the attention of folks across the country.
Luckily, we will have a documentary about the amazing run. Camera crews have been with the Birmingham Southern baseball team since the start of its NCAA Tournament run, and the plan is to have it on one of the streaming platforms following the end of the season.
The documentary crew was with the team last weekend when more than eight players came down with food poisoning before the World Series clinching game, There were photos of a tent that the baseball team used filled with IV's and medical trainers who were working to get the players hydrated before taking the field.
According to a representative, the documentary is being produced by Jason Sciavicco, who also directed the popular ‘TitleTown’ show about Rush Propst that was aired on Netflix.
Story Worth Telling For Sports Fans, Birmingham Southern NIL Deal
Along with the reaction from fans across the country, the team also raised almost $100,000 through a Go Fund Me that helped pay for expenses as the team made its way through the postseason. On the NIL front, Topps trading cards has started selling baseball cards of the team, which are being sold for $8.99 and a portion of the revenue will be distributed to the program.
As for the ongoing story on the field, having a documentary crew following the team around has not distracted its attention over the last month, obviously. Now, the baseball team that no longer has a school will play for a national championship, which is still mind-blowing to think about.
As for what to expect from the documentary, given that the camera crew has been given full access to the team over the past weeks, you can imagine that this will bring some fantastic stories within this incredible run.
Just this week, Birmingham Southern held its final graduation, while the team was holding its final practice at its field. As for what to expect, having more than 15 people working on this project with the team will certainly make this project one to remember.
The team started its National Championship series on Friday afternoon, and no matter what happens this weekend at the College World Series, this is one documentary I look forward to watching.
