The Orem Owlz season is pretty much done, but fans of the team will be able to see them whenever they want thanks to the new baseball movie “108 Stitches”.
You see, the Pioneer League team plays a central role in the low budget comedy about a college baseball program that needs to raise $50,000 in one day to avoid being shut down by the university. And if the trailer is any indication, we’re also dealing with half-naked co-eds, a vindictive college president and a missing foreign exchange student/recruit.
Coincidentally, the three things I look for whenever I pick a comedy set on a college campus.
Along for the ride in the flick due out September 12…“Last Comic Standing” winners Josh Blue and Dat Phan, Academy Award nominee Bruce Davison, the “Soup Nazi” himself, Larry Thomas and, in a surprise cameo, seven-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens.
“Roger is a family friend,” the movie’s co-writer Jake Katofsky told The Hall. “I approached him and told him I’d love to have a cameo with him in the movie. He was happy to be a part of the production. Clemens flew out to Los Angeles, spent the day on set, and did the scene with me. Complete professional in every sense of the word.”
