Chapman and Maclain Way vividly tell a great and unknown story in the baseball industry, which is both about the game and about the spirit of independence. When Portland, Oregon, lost its long-term minor league affiliate, Bing Russell bought the land and formed a team to operate outside the Major League Baseball. When they played in 1973, the Mavericks were the only independent team in the United States, starting with two good goals. How much does Deputy Sheriff Klim from Bonanza know about baseball? Or Portland? The only thing that can unite the players he recruited in the open selection matches is that no other team wants them. Skeptics unanimously believe that this will never work. But Bing understands the dreams of baseball players, and he also understands the audience. His eccentric, disheveled outcast won the game, won the fans, and broke the attendance record of the Minor League. Their spirit was infectious, and during their brief reign, the Mavericks - a restaurant owner who became a manager, left-handed catcher, and black pitcher - brought independence back to baseball and demonstrated all of this: a love for the game at the United Nations.
