30 for 30 Shorts: The Schedule Makers (2013)
Excellent entry in the series takes a look at the Major League Baseball schedule. I've often sat at the ballpark and wondered how exactly the schedule is made up and this 13-minute short gives us the basic idea. It's actually Henry and Holly Stehenson, a married couple living in MA who comes us with the schedule. They held this job from 1982-2005 when computers eventually took over and of course it proved that with technology errors can be had (Mariano Rivera finishing his career in Houston for example). This is a really terrific short that gives you the basic idea of how the schedules are done but some of the most interesting moments happen when they talk about some of the abuse they took for years because some of the big boy companies thought they could push around this "Mom and Pop" couple. Fans of baseball or sports in general will really want to check this one out.
