Did you like Bull Durham?  Who didn't?  It chronicled the lives of minor league baseball players.  Of course, Bull Durham had some female nudity, so that added to the overall viewing experience.  But nakedness aside, there's another piece of filmed entertainment you should be interested in as well.  It's called The Road To The Show and it chronicles the real lives of real minor league baseball players and those around that side of The Game.  Larry Richards, the show's co-creator and producer, sent me an email with the interview above.  If you have a few minutes, check it out.  It's great stuff.  In the meantime and meanwhile (simultaneously, if that's at all possible), read the text of Larry's email below.  He sheds some light and makes you want to click Play on that video.  Plus, Gary McCoy has a funny accent.  Cool?  Thought so.

On a chilly January evening in Orlando, I interviewed New Orleans Zephyrs (AAA, Florida Marlins) 1B and Strength & Conditioning Coach, Gary McCoy.

Gary gives an extremely well-spoken, educated and insightful look into the world of the minor leagues. Among the topics we cover: what the lives of the players and coaches are like, what his job entails, the sacrifices that are made and yes, why a show like ours, "Minor League: The Road to the Show", can work - not only for the fans, but for the teams as well.

During our 45 minute interview, Gary said so many terrific things that I had a very difficult time trying to edit down the footage - so the final piece is a bit long but definitely worth it. For those who love baseball and who want to hear some terrific first hand experiences and good, positive stories about minor league baseball - as well as those watching this to get a better sense of what our show will illustrate in terms of quality and depth of story-telling - on behalf of Road to the Show Productions and Cream Cheese Films, I invite you to watch this video in its entirety. It was a 'down n' dirty' shoot and edit - nothing fancy - just the facts but the facts are pretty cool.

Please feel to contact us with any comments, suggestions or if you'd like more information about "Minor League: The Road to the Show."

Enjoy and thank you for watching!

Sincerely yours,
