This Middlesboro, KY baseball team is the focus of This Field Looks Green To Me, a feature film project currently in production. The film’s executive team has committed to sharing the profits of the film with Kentucky State University and Berea College.

This film, set in a 1950s coal-mining town with Jim Crow laws still in effect, will engage people across generations by telling a true Appalachian story about kids, baseball, and the power of grassroots action in small-town America. The film's executive producer, Ron Schmidt, explained that KSU, a Historically Black University (HBCU), and BC, a Kentucky college that has been racially diverse since its inception, are ideal recipients for some of the film's profits.
