BC Alum Hits a Comedy Home Run 

Nate Fisher ’15 has cowritten a new baseball movie that’s earning critical acclaim for its funny, tender look at quiet camaraderie among men. Named for a trick pitch, Eephus is about one final game between old friends in small-town New England. Making the movie, set in a single day on the diamond, was its own team effort, Fisher said. “The whole cast and crew lived together in two houses near the baseball field. That collaborative spirit came through in the movie.” That said, every sports film needs a spirited monologue, too, and Fisher, who also costars, wrote a rousing one for his character. “I wanted to sum up the point of the movie directly, and it’s a lot easier to deliver when you’ve written it yourself.” ◽
