Reception

edit

Baseball Punx was taken on tour for a series on screenings at a variety of venues, with its first premiere being in New Zealand, and tours continuing to Australia, and most of the United States.[2]

By the time the touring was complete, it had picked up considerable international media attention, which resulted in it being premiered on ESPN one day before its expected release date.[3][4][5]
