“Just a Bit Outside” chronicles the ups-and-downs of an almost-Championship season of this unique, eclectic group of ballplayers, who played hard on and off the field, forming a brotherhood that came within a whisper of baseball’s greatest pinnacle. The story is about the love affair between a down-on-its-luck blue collar city, and a perfectly matched blue-collar team… one that continues to this day, 40 years later.

The ’82 Brewers squad had 5 Hall of Fame players, along with Hall of Fame owner, and former MLB Commissioner, Bud Selig, and Hall of Fame announcer, Bob Uecker.

With participation from the Milwaukee Brewers, and featuring interviews with players, ownership and staff, including Hall of Famers Robin Yount, Ted Simmons, Paul Molitor, Rollie Fingers, Selig, and Uecker, “Just a Bit Outside” tells the story of how this team of talented misfits gave Milwaukee – in the midst of factory closures and a recession – something to cheer about. Also interviewed for the film are 2-time American League Home Run Champion and Associate Producer Gorman Thomas, Cy Young Award-winner Pete Vuckovich, 5-time All-Star Cecil Cooper, and other key members of the 1982 American League Championship team.
