In Cash-Strapped Coal Country, a Baseball Rivalry Prevails

Tonight on 'VICE World of Sports,' we head to an impoverished part of Appalachia for a look at two communities that are struggling to make ends meet—but keeping a burning baseball rivalry alive.

In tonight's episode of VICE World of Sports on VICELAND, we take a trip deep into the hills of Appalachia for an inside look at coal country—and what those who live there do for a good time. For the residents of two neighboring towns in West Virginia, the fact that their baseball teams play in the lowest level of the minor leagues doesn't matter. It's the rivalry that counts.
