Ever Wonder what Ballhawks do in the winter?

76 days til the home opener but the Ballhawks are ready!

I’ve been fortunate to be involved in a documentary about the Wrigley Field ballhawks, tittled appropriately enough, Ballhawks. Filming took place a few years ago before the bleacher expansion. Editing, promoting and getting MLB approval has taken up most of the time since then.

The film’s in the can now and it’s being shopped around but no guarantee it will ever see the silver screen. Still, it’s made it as far as getting an entry in IMDB and has been submitted to several film festivals, among them SXSW, Sundance and Tribeca. And with Bill Murray doing the narration, it’s got some star power, so who knows…

Anyway, the title link above (and here) should take you to a somewhat humorous trailer for the movie. Thankfully, we got it done in one take…
