Web Extras 065 - Wally Backman Postgame Speech (May 24, 2007)

South Georgia Peanuts manager Wally Backman rips his team in a postgame speech, following the team's 6-5 loss in the home opener.

Because it was only seven games into the season, we decided not to bring our cameras into the locker room, but we left Backman's mic on and recorded the audio of his speech.

Later in the season, we had built up enough of a rapport with the players and coaching staff that we felt comfortable grabbing video of team meetings after tough losses. Those will be uploaded this summer... Stay tuned.

This is unreleased bonus footage from the TV show, "Playing for Peanuts."
