Eephus (DVD)Eephus (DVD)

Two recreational baseball teams, the River Dogs and Adler's Paint, have been meeting on their New England field on Sunday afternoons for longer than anyone can remember. These middle-aged sportsmen can't run as fast as they used to or connect as reliably with a pitch, but their vigorous appetite for socializing, squabbling, and busting chops remains undiminished. After the know-nothing county board opts to raze the baseball diamond to make way for school, the teams meet for the final game at their beloved Soldier's Field, with girlfriends, kids, and local hooligans as intermittent spectators. As day turns to night and the innings bleed together, the players face the uncertainty of a new era.
