The Schedule Makers: Henry and Holly Stephanson

A short 30 for 30 film was brought to my attention by my astute colleague Marc "Marcy Marc" Legace, that is perfectly fitting in this blog. (Side-note: If you love documentary films, and sports, you have to watch the 30 for 30 films, they're amazing.)

It tells the story of Henry and Holly Stephenson. A couple who made the entire Major League Baseball schedule, with a pencil, and some pieces of paper.

That's 30 teams, each playing 162 games, with heavy travel, and many other things that team's want to work around specific dates. The Stephenson's did it all.

I will let the film speak for itself, it's about twelve minutes long, and it's a nice, home-oriented, and heart-warming story about a modest couple who writes schedules.

Here's a link to the film:
