Playing for Peanuts

"Playing for Peanuts" is a 10-episode documentary television series about minor league baseball. The ten episode series follows the South Georgia Peanuts of the independent South Coast League during the 2007 season.

Playing for Peanuts premiered on 9 regional sports networks on May 11, 2008. The show was received favorably by baseball fans and the sports media, but it was removed from TV by the producer John J. Fitzgerald after a dispute with Sportsnet New York due to the network's refusal to promote the show. [http://playingforpeanuts.blogspot.com/2008/06/press-release-new-york-mets-tv-network.html]

In August 2008, Fitzgerald announced plans to release the show as an online TV show. Sponsorship rights to the online release of the first episode were sold via eBay auction. [http://playingforpeanuts.blogspot.com/2008/08/tv-show-finds-online-sponsor-on-ebay.html]
