High and Outside

City Hall Arts Center
Monday, March 24 at 6:15 pm SOLD OUT
HIGH AND OUTSIDE is the documentary biography of Bill “Spaceman” Lee, legendary pitcher for the Red Sox from 1969 through 1978 and currently a resident of Craftsbury, Vermont. In the 1970s, Lee became a folk hero to the Fenway faithful for his mix of competitive fire, Tibetan Buddhism, slapstick comedy and counter-culture ways. As a pioneer in the baseball labor movement, he fought corporate duplicity and worked to end the era of indentured servitude in baseball, earning the enmity of management. Director Peter Vogt brings the legend down to earth and finds a live human being in the “Spaceman.” Sponsored by Concept 2. Community Partner: Vermont Senior Baseball League, Thygesen Sports. Post-film event: Bill Lee will be present at the Monday, March 24, show. No rating, 84 minutes. Film review
