The First Boys of Spring is a one documentary by filmmaker Larry Foley, narrated by Academy Award winning actor Billy Bob Thornton. The film tells stories of baseball Hall of Famers who worked out, gambled and partied in Hot Springs, including Cy Young, Satchel Paige, Honus Wagner and baseball's first superstar, Mike "King" Kelly. A central figure is a young Babe Ruth, who belted a 573-foot home run into the Arkansas Alligator Farm in March of 1918, while trying to convince Boston Red Sox management to play him every day, even though he was already one of the game's dominant pitchers.
