Joined by special guest Derek Silva, co-host of the End of Sport podcast, we dig into the religious bio-pic of disabled baseballer Rickey Hill as he struggles to make the major leagues.

Rickey's father, as a pastor, seemed to believe that the only real calling was being a pastor.  Rickey Hill overcame significant bone and spinal cord problems to become a professional baseball player with the Montreal ... The post Rickey Hill's Calling appeared first on Unconventional Business Network.

I am so excited today because I have a real life movie star in my studio. Rickey Hill inspired the movie The Hill, and it's based on his true life story of overcoming a spinal disease to become a baseball legend.

Hello Backstory Fans! Join us for an interesting look at the life at baseball player Rickey Hill. From Rickey's Bio:  All Rickey Hill ever wanted to do was play professional baseball. That Hill was born with a degenerative spine disorder that had doctors doubting he'd ever walk normally was just an obstacle in his mind. Hill, who was signed in 1975 by the Montreal Expos, played four seasons in the minors before his body gave out. Rickey's brother wrote the story about Rickey's life as a testament to his drive and inspiring story to have a record of his accomplishments, which was recently made into a movie called “The Hill”. Rickey recounts the story of how the movie came to be, and talks about a few things depicted in the movie, as well as his younger years before signing with the Expos.It's a great episode we hope you will enjoy!

Rickey Hill was born with a degenerative spinal issue. He dreamed of playing baseball, despite all the odds stacked against him, including his Pastor father being adamantly opposed.

Edward Looney about Rickey's backstory, why it took almost 20 years to make the film, and Rickey and Jeff's hopes for audience takeaways.

Today is a special episode as I discuss faith and movies and hardships with the director of the new Dennis Quaid movie, The Hill, and joining us is the subject of the film himself, Major League ball player, Rickey Hill. As of now it sets at 100% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, and after watching a screener of the film, I really enjoyed it all the way through. We don't get so much into the technical side of the filmmaking process during the interview, but we do discuss the movie's genre and what demographics the film is for, etc. I had the opportunity to speak briefly with Jeff and Rickey before and after the recording, and they are just as kind and humble off camera as they are during the interview you're about to hear. It's guys like these two that give me hope for those who have a taste of celebrity. I tried to ask unique questions that they may have not been asked a hundred times before. For instance, I didn't ask what it was like to work with Dennis Quaid, because we all know the answer is going to be that he was a kind and generous man. Whether that's truly the case or just for PR, I wasn't here to talk about Mr. Quaid, as great as I'm sure he is. I wanted to get inside the director's head, especially in a time when Christian movies are starting to figure out how to fit into the culture and have mass appeal. But, the director will argue that The Hill is not a Christian film, and I can see his point of view on the matter, and I respect it. After all, so many churches and pastors call Braveheart a Christian film, considering that it was written by one of our brothers, but that doesn't mean it has to be labeled as such. Men and women of faith are more than capable of putting out gripping, secular entertainment. Talking with Rickey was such a blessing, and I wish I had so much more time with him, as I kind of feel myself in the middle of a story that's similar to his. I'm not a ball player, and I don't have his strength, but if you've followed my journey, you know that my family and I have been drawing the short stick for a long time now. I will admit there is a point in the conversation where I abruptly change the subject when the conversation was starting to go into deeper wells, and that's not because I was shying away from the emotions it was causing, but I wanted to be mindful of their time, and honestly, I felt like nothing else needed to be said on the matter. Whether that was the right instinct or not, that can be up to you to decide. But I just wanted you to know that I'm very aware of that decision to do so, and I'm at peace with it. But enough of my babbling. Let's cut to the interview, and whether you're a Christian or a baseball lover or not, may you truly be blessed and encouraged by this conversation. To learn more about Mr. Hill's story and the Rickey Hill Ultimate Wellness Kit, visit his website at RickeyHill.com. Epilogue:I hope you enjoyed that conversation. And please, please go see The Hill while it's still in theaters - it really is an old-fashioned sports movie that rarely gets made anymore. Please be sure to check out my other podcasts, Hollywood Horrors about two kids who get sucked into a classic movie. The season 1 finale just came up for air today (it's about Jaws). And my newest podcast called Toying with Faith, where I talk about heavy faith-based issues in a light way. Links for both shows are in the show notes below. And one last thing. I've written a script about the world's most iconic 20th century figure. I've been hunting down investors and podcast channels, and even though each one of them has told me this thing will be big, no one has been willing to prove it with financial backing. One agent even said it would be better suited as a film, but the point of doing it as a podcast is to keep costs low. I know writers and actors are on strike, and I have no cat in that fight, but there are lots of actors and writers like myself who will still work, even now. I picked up a couple of extremely talented people at my church to help me out with the voices for this demo I put together. If you like movies like The Hill and other inspiring biopics, then this is an audio drama that I feel would be beneficial to that same demographic. Please. If you know an investor or a friend of a friend of someone who might be able to drop me a name, please email me at author.andrewtoy@gmail.com, or message me on Facebook if you can find me, and get me in touch with that person. Without further ado, here is the demo reel, if you will, for my podcast audio-drama extravaganza, Fowling Up: The Colonel Sanders Story. 

Dennis Quaid stars in “The Hill," a new film based on the true story of Rickey Hill, who never should have made it in baseball.  Growing up with a degenerative spinal condition, Rickey was relegated to leg braces as a child.  How he overcame his condition to become one of the best hitters in the game is an epic tale.  Rickey Hill joins the show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former pro player Rickey Hill shares from his incredible story which has been turned into a movie called The Hill releasing August 25 starring Dennis Quaid and Colin Ford.He shares of being born with a degenerative spinal disease yet went on to play four seasons in the minor leagues with the Montreal Expos on Episode 70. Here are some of the highlights from our conversation with Rickey as well as producer Jeff Celentano…1. How Rickey and producer Jeff Celentano persevered over 17 years in the ups and down to fund the production and what led to the breakthrough moment to be able to get this story out for all to see2. How Rickey earned a second chance at a pro tryout which ultimately led to getting signed by the Expos3.  Why you should go see the movie opening weekend August 25-27Rickey's story shows that the obstacle which work against you can ultimately be used for a purpose bigger than yourself by inspiring others to reimagine what is possible when they face seemingly impossible scenarios.To learn more about the movie, you can visit thehillmov.com or the Instagram page.

Perseverance. Triumph. Inspiration. The Baseball Legend and Inspiration for THE HILL movie.Born in Fort Worth, Texas to a poor Baptist preacher, Rickey Hill's life was a symphony of trials. Despite adversity, from poverty, bullying due to the braces on his legs, and balancing expectations and dreams, Rickey's relentless pursuit of his passion in baseball made him one of the greatest hitters the game has ever seen. His life is proof that every day is a canvas for growth, an opportunity to overcome hurdles and emerge stronger. Rickey's journey is more than just a success story – it's an inspiration for all to never let go of their dreams. The story of Rickey Hill is a true-life drama of perseverance, faith, and talent emerging from a childhood of hardship, physical pain, and living in the shadow of his loving yet stern father. In adapting  a film of Hill's story, director Jeff Celentano (Glass Jaw, Breaking Point) recognized right away the potential for greatness a movie made from it could have — much like Rickey himself had a potential on the baseball field that needed to be nurtured before it could fly.

RICKEY HILL The Baseball Legend and Inspiration for THE HILL movie-In Theaters August 25th! Born in Fort Worth, Texas to a poor Baptist preacher, Rickey Hill's life was a symphony of trials. Despite adversity, from poverty, bullying due to the braces on his legs, and balancing expectations and dreams, Rickey's relentless pursuit of his passion in baseball made him one of the greatest hitters the game has ever seen. His life is proof that every day is a canvas for growth, an opportunity to overcome hurdles and emerge stronger. Rickey's journey is more than just a success story – it's an inspiration for all to never let go of their dreams. Jeff Celentano, Director & Producer Born and raised in the small rural town of Pemberton, in Southern New Jersey. Jeff says his hometown “looks more like the backlot at Universal Pictures than a suburb in South Jersey." Celentano began his career as an actor while living on the east coast. Today, he is fast becoming one of the freshest new directors in Hollywood. The actor turned-writer/director has managed to effectively combine comedy and drama with his own personalized style. The story of Rickey Hill is a true-life drama of perseverance, faith, and talent emerging from a childhood of hardship, physical pain, and living in the shadow of his loving yet stern father. In adapting  a film of Hill's story, director Jeff Celentano (Glass Jaw, Breaking Point) recognized right away the potential for greatness a movie made from it could have — much like Rickey himself had a potential on the baseball field that needed to be nurtured before it could fly. “I began this journey fifteen  years ago,” says Celentano. “It all started when my brother, Mark, happened to be sitting in the lobby of a hotel next to a stranger. That stranger turned out to be Rickey Hill.  My brother had overheard Rickey talking on the phone to someone about how a film about Rickey's life had been in the process of getting made, but quickly fell apart.” “Mark struck up a conversation with Rickey and said, ‘You have to meet my brother, Jeff — he's the perfect person to get your film made,'” Celentano continues. “Sometime after that, I met Rickey and flew to Fort Worth, Texas, to meet Michael A. Blubaugh, who owned the rights to Rickey's life story.” Shortly after that meeting, the rights were secured and Celentano proceeded to climb the mountain that was THE HILL.

The Hill is a movie based on the remarkable real-life story of Rickey Hill and his journey overcoming incredible amounts of adversity to achieve the impossible. As a kid, Rickey was burdened by leg braces and a degenerative spine condition that should have prevented him from ever walking.

They share some behind-the-scenes details, expand on Rickey's story, and share exactly what it takes to get a movie made these days. The Hill is set for a nationwide release on August 25, 2023.
