Do Rickey Hill and Gracie Marry? What Happened After The Hill
In The Hill, Rickey Hill struggles to become a professional baseball player. Some wonder what happened to Rickey and Gracie after the film, which shows his personal life and relationship with Gracie Shanz.

Jeff Celentano directed and Angelo Pizzo and Scott Marshall Smith wrote the 2023 biographical drama about Rickey's 1960s and 1970s struggle to play his favorite sport despite his physical limitations.

The Hill stars Colin Ford as Rickey Hill and Siena Bjornerud as Gracie. Of course, the film centers on Rickey's dream of playing professional baseball. His story wouldn't be complete without his family, including his partner.

Despite never dating Gracie, Rickey loosely based Bjornerud on his girlfriend, Sherran. Though her name and character changed, Sherran was essential to The Hill.

Rickey Hill married Sherran after The Hill. When Rickey was 18, they married at home plate on a baseball field on August 5, 1975.

Father Pastor James Hill officiated the ceremony, and family and friends celebrated their love. Since Rickey played rookie ball for the Montreal Expos that year, his mid-1970s career seemed good.

Rickey Hill and Sherran divorced 11 years after their August 5, 1975 baseball diamond wedding. They had two children from 1975 to 1986. Rickey's sherran divorce and post-The Hill life are unknown.

The player retired after four years in the Expos' minors. After his spine gave out in the late 1970s, Rickey couldn't play baseball to stay healthy.

The retired athlete coached Little League Baseball in Fort Worth, Texas, and spent his life telling his story, as in The Hill.
