Thunder and Lightning (2015)

The best team never to win the College World Series It might have been the 1985 Mississippi State Bulldogs who produced four Major League Baseball AllStars Two of them Bobby Thigpen and Jeff Brantley became Relievers of the Year while the other two Will Clark and Rafael Palmeiro formed the imposing onetwo hitting punch known as Thunder and Lightning The brash and bold Clark was born in New Orleans the son of a pool hustler while the softspoken and shy Palmeiro was a son of Cuban immigrants who did his talking at the plate As teammates at Mississippi State they nearly propelled the Bulldogs to a College World Series title Thirty years later director Rory Karpf revisits those fabled Bulldogs tracks the complicated relationship between Clark and Palmeiro and brings closure to men who should be remembered for what they did and not for what they didnt do
