Three new baseball documentaries I’ve seen recently have one thing in common:

old guys.

Old guys playing baseball.

A long-ass time ago.

Right up my alley.

A few weeks ago I reported on Last Comiskey, pet project of one Matt Flesch, just a regular guy who one day thought he could produce and direct a baseball documentary. I aspire.

Since then I’ve also seeing Facing Nolan, Netflix-backed puff piece from the Ryan family on strikeout king Lynn Nolan Ryan, and Reggie, Amazon-backed puff piece on strikeout king Reginald Martinez Jackson. (Struck out a lot but he hit a few dingers too.) “Puff piece” here isn’t even really a knock, just a statement of fact. Heck, Last Comiskey is a straight-up love letter to Comiskey Park and I think that one’s the best of the lot.

For what it’s worth, all three are worth your time.

Gotta watch something between episodes of Ted Lasso, eh?
