The Lindsay Theater has an upcoming screening of Robert Cochrane’s Boys of Summer: Short Stop, the third installment of his documentary series chronicling precious time spent with his father, Dan Cochrane, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2001. Robert joined WQED‘s Jim Cunningham from California to talk about the film.

For this screening, This Lindsay is partnering with Parkinson Foundation Western Pennsylvania, for which Robert has been a keynote speaker. Robert hopes Short Stop will raise awareness of Parkinson’s disease and help raise money for research and cure development.

The docuseries follows a baseball theme, corresponding with a promise made between Robert and his father to visit all of the baseball parks in America. Robert tells Jim about their trips, recounting some of his favorite moments from PNC Park. Short Stop also features an appearance from late Pirates legend Dave Parker, who lived with Parkinson’s disease for 13 years before his death in June 2025.
