]]> Friend of Knuckle Curve John Fitzgerald, producer/director of The Emerald Diamond (movie about the Irish national baseball team), is at it again. He’s moved to the small screen for his latest project, Playing for Peanuts, which is… well, I’ll let him describe it:

“Playing for Peanuts” is a new TV show about minor league baseball. The show uses reality TV and documentary techniques to follow the South Georgia Peanuts in their inaugural season. The Peanuts are made up of a mix of rookies and veterans, all hoping to get back into affiliated minor league baseball. The Peanuts are managed by former Major League second baseman Wally Backman.

Mike Caruso, who will show up in a future installment of our look back at Baseball America’s Top 100 prospects of 1998 (he was #34), plays on the team, as does the ultrafast Curtis Goodwin. You can learn more by visiting the show’s web site or accompanying blog.
