Will Clark

Le 17 octobre 1989, à 17h04, peu après le début du troisième match des World Series opposant les San Francisco Giants aux Oakland Athletics, la terre se met à trembler sous le stade de Candlestick Park. Ce match promettait d'être mémorable, car c'était le premier en 33 ans à opposer deux équipes de la même zone métropolitaine, avec une pléthore de joueurs vedettes très populaires. Mais le séisme de Loma Prieta d'une magnitude de 6,9 a frappé, mettant un terme au tournoi et semant le chaos et la destruction dans la baie de San Francisco. Au travers d'images d'archives, de témoignages inédits de joueurs et d'habitants d'Oakland et de San Francisco, ainsi que d'un regard scientifique, ce film raconte les événements qui se sont produits ce soir-là, il y a 25 ans.

Examines the life and career of Barry Bonds as the former Pittsburgh Pirate and San Francisco Giant nears the end of his eligibility to be voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

The best team never to win the College World Series? It might have been the 1985 Mississippi State Bulldogs, who produced four Major League Baseball All-Stars. Two of them, Bobby Thigpen and Jeff Brantley, became Relievers of the Year, while the other two, Will Clark and Rafael Palmeiro, formed the imposing one-two hitting punch known as "Thunder and Lightning." The brash and bold Clark was born in New Orleans, the son of a pool hustler, while the soft-spoken and shy Palmeiro was a son of Cuban immigrants who did his talking at the plate. As teammates at Mississippi State, they nearly propelled the Bulldogs to a College World Series title. Thirty years later, director Rory Karpf revisits those fabled Bulldogs, tracks the complicated relationship between Clark and Palmeiro, and brings closure to men who should be remembered for what they did, and not for what they didn't do.
