THE WINDUP — Live Baseball Cinema • Music • Stories

A one-night-only live screening where a one-of-a-kind, very funny and very entertaining silent baseball film comes alive with music, storytelling, and old-school charm.

Step Into Baseball’s Past — LIVE

The Windup is not a lecture.
It’s not just a movie.
It’s a live cinematic experience.

Join us for an unforgettable evening where early baseball history, silent film, and live music collide — the way movies were originally meant to be seen.

At the heart of the night is Day of the Catch, a contemporary silent short inspired by the quirky, little-known origins of Florida’s Grapefruit League. Set in the early 20th century, the film captures the humor, heart, and improvisational spirit of America’s pastime — complete with biplanes, spring training legends, and a tossed grapefruit that helped name a baseball institution.

What makes this special?
The film is presented with a live band performing the score in real time, transforming the screening into something closer to a concert than a movie.

Between reels, you’ll hear brief stories and context that bring the history to life — no homework required.

This is baseball nostalgia, live music, and old-school cinema magic rolled into one joyful, immersive night…With Cash Bar, Popcorn & Cracker Jack available!
