Pick my 30 for 30 Campbell

   Why you have been in the sun and surrounded by crying children, I have been watching numerous documentaries that you have assigned. I've watched about a dozen of the 30 for 30 shortfilms by ESPN. Out of all of them we should watch The Billion Dollar Game, Unhittable: Sidd Finch and the Tibetan Fastball, and Ali: the Mission. I chose these selective documentaries because each one showed how certain athletes or teams dramatically effected the game. Ali: The mission is about perhaps one of the most important, but least known, feats of Muhammad Ali's remarkable life. It goes into detail about all the things he did outside the ring that helped his accomplishments within the sport, Muhammad is a true legend to this day. The Billion dollar game was focused around the the Princeton Tigers in 1989 when they gave Georgetown Hoyas everything they could, in a game that would forever change March Madness. March Madness is one of the biggest events in the NBA and draws out millions of fans, very interesting to see how these two teams demonstrated the seriousness and intensity that March Madness brings to the court. Finally but not least, Unhittable: Sidd Finch and the Tibetan Fastball, this shortfilm followed a pitcher that was drafted to the Mets with a 168 mph fastball. With this addition to the Mets at the time they were almost unbeatable with no one capable of standing up to the Tibetan fastball. All of these documentaries had in common that they made great accomplishments and changes to the sport they were involved in. Showing these select documentaries would be a fun and educational way to introduce topics on changes or athletes affects on our sports. Hope Disney was a blast, see you soon!
