As the 2024 Brew Crew sits (at the time of this writing) 12 games up on the rest of the NL Central Division, a new documentary about the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers (Harvey’s Wallbangers) just got the call to come out of the bullpen and on to the big screen.
“Just A Bit Outside: The Story of the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers” will be shown exclusively at Marcus Theaters on September 13th. GET TICKETS HERE.
OFFICIAL SITE Synopsis.
“Just a Bit Outside: The Story of the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers” chronicles the ups-and-downs of the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers, an eclectic group of ballplayers who played hard on and off the field, forming a brotherhood that came within a whisper of baseball’s greatest pinnacle. The story is about the love affair between a down-on-its-luck blue collar city, and a perfectly matched blue-collar team… one that continues to this day, 40 years later.
With participation from the Milwaukee Brewers, and featuring interviews with players, ownership and staff, including Hall of Famers Robin Yount, Ted Simmons, Paul Molitor, Rollie Fingers, Selig, and Uecker, “Just a Bit Outside” tells the story of how this team of talented misfits gave Milwaukee – in the midst of factory closures and a recession – something to cheer about. Also interviewed for the film are 2-time American League Home Run Champion and Associate Producer Gorman Thomas, Cy Young Award-winner Pete Vuckovich, 5-time All-Star Cecil Cooper, and other key members of the 1982 American League Championship team.
