Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This DVD Smokes
This documentary is a great piece of work. Bill Lee's enthusiasm for both life and the game of baseball is evident throughout it.

It's obvious his teammates loved him (from the smiles on their faces as they tell stories) and that (some) management obviously didn't.

When I was in college, after Lee revealed he "used" a certain green herb, the headline in the local paper read: "Lee Smokes Yankees" :) .

And he took principled stands at personal cost. I always ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - SPACEMAN TAKE-OFF ... SPACEMAN SPLASH-DOWN
Don't hate a player who loves the game ... and hates the Yankees !!

The DVD reveals former Boston Red Sox and Montreal Expo lefty Bill Lee at his best, a lover of game of baseball for the right reasons. At the same time Lee is accurately presented as a man who couldn't stand the often-times cruel business of major league baseball.

If you are a Red Sox fan, you will always love Bill Lee, despite his wacky personality and rebellious attitude. He still hates the Yankees just ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Fresh Air from Space
Bill "Spaceman" Lee was a left-handed pitcher for the Red Sox and Expos from 1969 to 1982. He won 17 games 3 consecutive years, made the All Star game once and would have won 2 games in the classic 75 World Series (burying the Curse of the Bambino before it was invented) if the bullpen had not let him down.

Lee is better known for being one of the great characters in a game that has no more Yogi Berras, Casey Stengals or Spacemen. Some fans may take issue with his progressive politics ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Buy It
A fascinating documentary about a very unusual man. Probably the only professional baseball player truly to qualify as an existentialist, and a defiant one at that. Put simply the man loves baseball but hates rules.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fascinating Film about a Fascinating Character
I came across this dvd at a friends house and borrowed it on a whim. It turned out to be REALLY GOOD. Funny, touching and enlightening. I never knew much about Bill "Spaceman" Lee, but he is definitely one of the good guys.

Definitely worth a purchase if you like documentaries or baseball.
