A made-for-HBO movie from 1987 starring William Peterson and Virginia Madsen when their careers were just getting going, Long Gone tells the hilarious and heartfelt story of a season in the lives of the Tampico Stogies, a terrible southern independent minor league team.

Whose fortunes are about to change.

Peterson plays player/manager Cecil “Stud” Cantrell, Who has many life rules no one should follow and Madsen is Dixie Lee Boxx who is old enough to order beer for breakfast.

Long Gone can be watched in full for free on YouTube!

And thank me you will after watching this hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking , bawdy flick which just happens to have a great baseball story as well.
