“For the Love of the Game” is a phrase that is thrown around easily, but for the players on the Birmingham-Southern College baseball team it’s a lifestyle. Far from the money driven world of big-time college athletics and NIL contracts, these are true student athletes that are chasing a dream without scholarships or the perks that come with playing for a major program. Following years of financial difficulty post-Covid and a rollercoaster ride dealing with the state legislature to secure funding, Birmingham-Southern College is out of options and is forced to announce they are closing down. Despite the crushing news and now facing uncertain futures, the BSC Panthers respond with an improbable winning streak that secures a spot in the postseason and lifts the spirit of the BSC faithful. The eclectic collection of players and their inspirational coach are pursuing a legendary playoff run that continues after the demise of the school they play for.
