Fans here at Sportsman's
are glued to their seats

00:01:11,568 --> 00:01:13,986
as the Cardinals and Dodgers
are even at two apiece.

Sal Maglie takes the sign
from Campanella. He winds up.

Musial's bat cracks off
at his fist
7
00:01:21,035 --> 00:01:23,370
as he sizzles
one to Gil Hodges,

00:01:23,454 --> 00:01:28,041

Does anyone want
a slightly used bat?

I... I was promised.

Promised? By who?
12
00:01:39,095 --> 00:01:40,220
By Eddie Stanky.

Mr. Tanner,

I've been working
on this shot for years.
16
00:01:45,852 --> 00:01:47,728
You'll get other shots,
but this is the Majors,
17
00:01:47,812 --> 00:01:49,688
and we need to bring in
somebody who's...
18
00:01:49,772 --> 00:01:53,317
Who's what?
Not Mexican?
19
00:02:01,868 --> 00:02:03,744
Look here,
when Stanky found you
20
00:02:03,828 --> 00:02:06,163
you were a batboy
in San Antonio.
21
00:02:06,247 --> 00:02:08,373
Hornsby hired you.
I didn't.
22
00:02:08,458 --> 00:02:11,543
It's my team now,
and you'll do
what you're told.
23

my folks are from.

You don't know
anyone there.

I knew people here.

of the shift,

Boss needs
this slag cleared.
40
00:05:47,051 --> 00:05:49,594
Sounds good. Why
don't you get it done?
41
00:05:51,180 --> 00:05:52,806
Why don't you go
back to America?
42

(Suarez)
I hear he can't.
43

Maybe he killed somebody.

You think you're
better than us,
Mr. Baseball Man?

his oldest boy was playing
at the Church of the Dead.
51
00:06:24,547 --> 00:06:27,507
All of our boys did,
but his slipped and fell.
52

Our Father who art in Heaven,
hallowed be thy name.

thy will be done,
on Earth as it is in heaven.

our daily bread and
forgive our trespasses

trespass against us.

And lead us not
into temptation, but
deliver us from evil. Amen.

the spirit of Pedro
Macias into Your hands.

want us

is in first place.

is always perfect.

176
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,156
(Norberto)
Can I touch it?
177
00:15:12,241 --> 00:15:13,992
(Father)
Yes, of course you
can touch it.
178
00:15:14,034 --> 00:15:17,412
[Panting]
It's heavier
than I thought.
179
00:15:17,496 --> 00:15:19,247
Let me see.
180
00:15:19,331 --> 00:15:21,499
Whoa.
181
00:15:26,296 --> 00:15:28,798
It's like
a woman's skin.
182
00:15:32,511 --> 00:15:35,513
(Mario)
Father. What
does it mean?
183
00:15:35,597 --> 00:15:37,515
It means God wants
us to play baseball.
184
00:15:37,599 --> 00:15:39,684
Angel.
185
00:15:39,768 --> 00:15:41,352
That's what
I think it means.
186
00:15:41,437 --> 00:15:42,895
Me, too.
187
00:15:42,980 --> 00:15:44,689
What happens
when we lose this one?
188
00:15:44,773 --> 00:15:46,566
Is God going
to drop another
one from the sky?
189
00:15:46,650 --> 00:15:49,402
(Angel)
He's God. He
can do anything.
190
00:15:49,486 --> 00:15:52,655
Father, what
does it say?
191
00:15:54,616 --> 00:15:57,076
It says it
belonged to a saint.
192
00:15:57,161 --> 00:15:58,786
(kids)
Wow.
193
00:16:01,582 --> 00:16:03,875
Angel,
194
00:16:03,959 --> 00:16:06,627
maybe next time
you can ask him
to give us a bat!

197
00:16:36,992 --> 00:16:38,493
You again.
198
00:16:38,577 --> 00:16:39,744
Want to have a catch?
199
00:16:39,828 --> 00:16:41,329
(Cesar)
No.
200
00:16:41,413 --> 00:16:44,082
Okay, I guess
I'll just
201
00:16:44,124 --> 00:16:46,501
have to practice
everyday by myself.
202
00:16:46,585 --> 00:16:49,504
Every single day,
right here!
203
00:16:49,588 --> 00:16:51,255
Everyday!

00:17:16,365 --> 00:17:18,699
All right.
Just this once.
207
00:17:18,784 --> 00:17:23,121
Then you have to promise
me you're going to pitch
somewhere else, agreed?
208
00:17:36,593 --> 00:17:39,804
Wow. Who taught
you to pitch?
209
00:17:39,888 --> 00:17:40,888
Cardinals.
210
00:17:40,973 --> 00:17:43,182
In the Basilica?
211
00:17:43,267 --> 00:17:46,561
Saint Louis.
212
00:17:56,321 --> 00:17:58,072
The Saint Louis
Cardinals?
213
00:17:58,157 --> 00:17:59,657
That's right.
214
00:17:59,741 --> 00:18:01,159
You played
in the Majors?
215
00:18:01,201 --> 00:18:04,829
Well, sorta,
I... I coached.
216
00:18:04,913 --> 00:18:06,539
I'm a Dodger fan.
217
00:18:06,623 --> 00:18:08,541
Yeah, you're
Sandy Koufax.

Quiet! There she is!
My girlfriend.
221
00:18:17,092 --> 00:18:18,509
(Ricardo)
Oh yeah?
Then go talk to her.
222
00:18:18,552 --> 00:18:20,011
Yeah.
223
00:18:20,095 --> 00:18:23,014
I have to wait
for the right moment.
224
00:18:23,056 --> 00:18:27,143
How about now?
Enrique, catch!
225

Oops.
A little
help, please!
226
00:18:34,109 --> 00:18:37,945
Hi, Gloria,
such a surprise!
227
00:18:38,030 --> 00:18:39,197
What is this?
228
00:18:39,239 --> 00:18:41,240
I-I-lt's a baseball.
229
00:18:41,325 --> 00:18:42,533
(Norberto)
A real one!
230
00:18:42,618 --> 00:18:43,951
Are these
your friends?
231
00:18:44,036 --> 00:18:45,453
(Ricardo)
We are his teammates!
232
00:18:45,537 --> 00:18:46,787
Yeah, we're
a real baseball team.
233
00:18:46,872 --> 00:18:48,039
Best in Monterrey!
234

[Soft Mexican music]
235
00:18:53,921 --> 00:18:58,216
You know, they told me
Monterrey had the most
beautiful girls in Mexico.
236
00:18:58,300 --> 00:19:00,718
Too bad for you,
we're on our way
to America.
237
00:19:00,802 --> 00:19:02,970
Yeah, too bad.
238
00:19:03,055 --> 00:19:07,808
So Gloria, I was thinking,
I could, walk you home
or something?!
239
00:19:07,893 --> 00:19:10,394
Sorry, my father
picks me up.
240
00:19:10,437 --> 00:19:12,647
Ooh! Popped up
to the catcher.
241

How embarrassing.

Who do you
think you are?
243
00:19:15,525 --> 00:19:17,485
We're the
Mexico City All Stars.
244

Can you read?
245
00:19:18,987 --> 00:19:20,488
Sons of gringo
businessmen!
246
00:19:20,572 --> 00:19:22,323
Why don't you play
with Mexicans?
247

like you?

calling 'babies'? Dummy.

[Horn honking]

I'll never
get Gloria.

(boy)
You're not worth getting
dirty over. We're going
to America.
253
00:19:36,588 --> 00:19:38,422
America.
254
00:19:40,592 --> 00:19:42,677
Father.
255
00:19:42,761 --> 00:19:45,054
Sorry, but we
need to make
the team now.
256
00:19:45,138 --> 00:19:47,473
Angel, what
is the hurry?
257
00:19:47,557 --> 00:19:51,102
We're 12. See,
we can't play
in the league next year.
258
00:19:51,144 --> 00:19:52,937
Hmm. I see.
259
00:19:53,021 --> 00:19:55,147
Well then, you'll
need a coach.
260
00:19:55,232 --> 00:19:56,774
You could
be our coach!
261
00:19:56,858 --> 00:19:57,650
No, not me.
262
00:19:57,734 --> 00:19:59,819
Please.
263
00:19:59,903 --> 00:20:03,281
You need somebody
who knows the game,
not just stick ball.
264
00:20:03,365 --> 00:20:06,117
I don't know anybody
like that in Monterrey.
265
00:20:07,869 --> 00:20:09,537
I do.
266
00:20:09,621 --> 00:20:11,497

What now?

a Little League team!

where she'll be
tomorrow morning.

Good morning, Father.

to coach in the Major
League Baseball.
290
00:21:25,864 --> 00:21:27,782
Yeah, yeah, I did.
291

been something.

Yes, well, they would
like to have that same
feeling, you know?

In the American
Little League.
295

Mr. Faz, will you
be our coach? Will you
take us to America?
296
00:21:49,429 --> 00:21:52,598
It would take
a miracle to make these
kids into a real team.

Sometimes, God gives us
the ability to make them.

even have a field.

going to help me?

tall order this late
in the game.

into driving you back

And what
do you do here?
354
00:25:37,449 --> 00:25:40,117
I'm here scouting
for the team.
355
00:25:40,201 --> 00:25:41,952
Oh, what kind of team?
356
00:25:42,037 --> 00:25:43,329
Little
League baseball!
357
00:25:43,413 --> 00:25:44,830
Here? In Monterrey?
358
00:25:44,914 --> 00:25:47,041
First time
for everything, right?
359
00:25:47,125 --> 00:25:49,460
Like Cesar Faz
coming to my church.
360
00:25:49,544 --> 00:25:52,963
That's right. Yeah.
361
00:25:53,048 --> 00:25:55,132
Well, that's all
I came for.
362
00:25:55,175 --> 00:25:56,759
Yeah, we,
you and I,
363
00:25:56,843 --> 00:25:59,345

364
00:25:59,429 --> 00:26:04,350

Um, would you
like to join my family
for dinner, tonight?
365

Yeah. Yeah. Tonight?
366
00:26:06,645 --> 00:26:08,145
Mm-hm.
367
00:26:08,229 --> 00:26:09,980
Yeah. That sounds
real nice.
368
00:26:10,065 --> 00:26:12,066

369
00:26:12,150 --> 00:26:13,692
7 o'clock.
370
00:26:13,777 --> 00:26:15,069

What are you
guys doing here?
373

Recruiting, remember?
374
00:26:29,084 --> 00:26:31,460
I think Mr. Faz
has been recruiting.
375
00:26:31,544 --> 00:26:32,878
Okay, okay, who
do we got?

Man, that kid can run.
380

Tell him it's a sin
to steal.
381
00:26:45,183 --> 00:26:47,184
Unless it's bases.
He's in.
382
00:26:47,268 --> 00:26:48,894
How about that kid
that murdered that
cardboard decoration?
383
00:26:48,978 --> 00:26:50,354
(both)
Baltazar!
384
00:26:50,438 --> 00:26:52,272
He's the strongest
kid in town.
385
00:26:52,357 --> 00:26:54,358
He's in. Okay. Angel,
Enrique, Ricardo, Fidel.
386
00:26:54,401 --> 00:26:56,193
What about Mario?
387
00:26:56,236 --> 00:26:58,320
(Angel)
Yes, yes,
Mario's important.

[Chatting]
389
00:27:00,073 --> 00:27:02,700
He's pretty small.
Is he a great hitter?
390
00:27:02,742 --> 00:27:04,743
Um, not so much.
391
00:27:04,828 --> 00:27:06,578

Uh, not so much.
393

(Cesar)
Mario.
394
00:27:11,042 --> 00:27:13,419
You got a great
arm, right?
395
00:27:13,503 --> 00:27:14,545
Not so much.
396
00:27:14,629 --> 00:27:16,714
Mr. Faz.
397
00:27:16,756 --> 00:27:19,299
(Cesar)
Why's he so special?
398
00:27:19,384 --> 00:27:21,927
Because he knows
all the girls.
[All chuckle]
399
00:27:22,011 --> 00:27:23,721

got a glove?

(Cesar)
Okay, I want you
on the field in an hour.
403
00:27:28,727 --> 00:27:29,768
What about the flowers?
404
00:27:29,853 --> 00:27:30,769
Flowers? For what?
405
00:27:30,854 --> 00:27:32,271
For Maria.
406
00:27:32,355 --> 00:27:33,939

the flowers.

Does anybody know
the Holy Trinity
of baseball?

(Norberto)
The Father, The Son,
and The Holy Ghost.
418
00:28:05,638 --> 00:28:09,808
Close. Home runs, RBI's,
and batting averages.
419

And they all
revolve around this.

can buy your way onto

Yeah, well,
you don't have any.
And you never will.

be able to kick

What runner Mr. Faz?
There's no one on the base.

of the game is half mental.

100% mental

to think that I could
teach you kids baseball
in four weeks.

at the unexpected time.

training for!

kinds of players.

as a team and those who
won't be on this team!

that! Alright.

Everybody, five laps.
454

It was their fight,
we shouldn't all
have to run five laps!
455
00:29:55,039 --> 00:29:58,458
Norberto's right.
Everybody, ten laps!
Move it!

don't want that.

do in America, but in Mexico,

I was afraid you
wouldn't let me come.
699
00:44:20,070 --> 00:44:23,239
You're not going
to be able to play
on this foot.
700
00:44:23,282 --> 00:44:25,283
Then I will play
on the other.
701
00:44:25,367 --> 00:44:28,286
[Soft music]
You'll play on the other.
702
00:44:31,665 --> 00:44:34,834
(Fidel)
It's okay, Norberto.
You'll be all right.
703
00:44:34,918 --> 00:44:37,962
(Cesar)
In case you wondered
what those things are
704
00:44:38,046 --> 00:44:41,299
that I lugged
from Monterrey,
they're called bats.
705
00:44:41,383 --> 00:44:44,343
And if you
want to put numbers
on that scoreboard,
706
00:44:44,428 --> 00:44:47,847
these are your tools.
Time for some
hitting drills.
707
00:44:47,931 --> 00:44:50,183
Mr. Faz,
the game is
in one hour.
708
00:44:50,267 --> 00:44:53,311
Well what a perfect
time then.
Come on.
709
00:44:53,395 --> 00:44:56,105
[Soft music]
710
00:44:56,190 --> 00:44:58,024
Batting practice?
711
00:44:58,108 --> 00:45:00,568
Who do y'all
think you're messing
with here, huh?
712
00:45:02,529 --> 00:45:05,948
(Mac)
Disinterested.
No opinion.
713
00:45:05,991 --> 00:45:09,952
Don't care.
[Typing]
Request denied.
714
00:45:09,995 --> 00:45:12,121
Denied.
715
00:45:12,206 --> 00:45:14,373
One more sec. Mac.
716
00:45:14,458 --> 00:45:19,128
May provoke a nuclear
arms race in space.
717
00:45:19,171 --> 00:45:21,964
Arms race in space?
718
00:45:22,049 --> 00:45:24,550
Come on, Frankie.
What's next?
Men on the moon?
719
00:45:24,635 --> 00:45:27,053
It's good stuff, Mac.
Besides, it's my day off.
720
00:45:27,137 --> 00:45:29,931
Yeah about that,
I need you to cover
a Little League game.
721
00:45:30,015 --> 00:45:32,141
Our team's got a chance
at the tournament.
722
00:45:32,226 --> 00:45:34,393
A kid's baseball game? No.
723
00:45:34,478 --> 00:45:36,020
Riley's your sports writer.
724
00:45:36,104 --> 00:45:37,396
His wife's
expecting any minute.
725
00:45:37,481 --> 00:45:39,190
Well what
about Hayne?
726
00:45:39,274 --> 00:45:41,651
Got him working
on the Governor
Daniels story.
727
00:45:41,735 --> 00:45:45,029
Well, you got plenty
of other men on your
staff, don't you?
728
00:45:45,113 --> 00:45:48,199
I hear you know more
about the game than
any of them.
729
00:45:48,283 --> 00:45:50,785
Ain't you named
after a ballplayer?
730
00:45:50,869 --> 00:45:52,328
I hate baseball.
731
00:45:52,412 --> 00:45:54,413
What are you,
some kind of communist?
732
00:45:54,498 --> 00:45:57,583
Yeah, you got me,
that's why I work
here for next to nothing.
733
00:45:57,668 --> 00:45:59,502
Hm.
734
00:45:59,545 --> 00:46:02,755
[Sighs]
Fine. What's so important
about this game?
735
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,508
We got some boys
come up from Mexico
736
00:46:05,592 --> 00:46:08,010
thought we'd play
the invasion angle,
you know,
737
00:46:08,053 --> 00:46:10,596
our boys defending
what their Granddaddy's
fought for.
738
00:46:10,681 --> 00:46:12,765
And what if
the Mexicans win?
739
00:46:12,850 --> 00:46:15,643
5 will get you 20
those boys ain't gonna
to score a single run.
740
00:46:15,727 --> 00:46:18,563
I did not study journalism
to get stuck on this back
page assignment.
741
00:46:18,647 --> 00:46:20,815
I'm not doing it,
and that's final.
742
00:46:20,899 --> 00:46:23,985
That's fine,
not everybody is
cut out for the Gazette.
743
00:46:24,069 --> 00:46:28,281
Why don't you run out
and get yourself an apron,
maybe, find a husband.
744
00:46:28,365 --> 00:46:31,659
You know, you say that
one more time, I will
punch you in the nose.
745
00:46:31,743 --> 00:46:33,786
It's been awhile
since I fought a woman.
746
00:46:33,871 --> 00:46:37,415
We're not in the same
weight class, I don't think.
747
00:46:37,499 --> 00:46:39,709
3 o'clock.
McAllen field!
748
00:46:41,211 --> 00:46:43,045
I take that as a yes?
749
00:46:43,088 --> 00:46:45,089
[Boys shouting]
750
00:46:45,173 --> 00:46:47,717
Well, at least we know
they didn't bring
any ringers.
751
00:46:47,801 --> 00:46:50,720
Heck, they don't look
but nine or ten.
752
00:46:52,306 --> 00:46:53,681
Hey guys,
see this thing!
753
00:46:53,765 --> 00:46:55,474
Hey, come on, Jake,
give it back.
754
00:46:55,559 --> 00:46:57,226
What do
you care?
755
00:46:57,311 --> 00:46:59,270
(coach)
There now, boys.
756
00:46:59,354 --> 00:47:02,231
Sportsmanship. Come on.
Come on, get in there.
757
00:47:02,316 --> 00:47:04,150
(coach assistant)
Let's go.
758
00:47:04,234 --> 00:47:06,235
[Applause]
759
00:47:09,197 --> 00:47:11,532
Remember, you're
the pitcher.
760
00:47:11,617 --> 00:47:14,952
Birds and sky, the waters
and rivers, even the sun
is going to wait,
761
00:47:15,037 --> 00:47:16,746
'till you're ready,
understand?
762
00:47:16,830 --> 00:47:18,039
Okay, Mr. Faz.
763
00:47:18,123 --> 00:47:20,791
You can
do this, Koufax.
764
00:47:20,876 --> 00:47:24,462
(announcer)
We're ready to get
started here on field
one as Bobby Lampkin
765
00:47:24,546 --> 00:47:29,175
will lead things off
for McAllen against
Monterrey's Angel Macias.
766
00:47:29,259 --> 00:47:30,259
(man)
Come on there, Billy!
767
00:47:30,344 --> 00:47:31,969
Strike!
768
00:47:32,054 --> 00:47:35,014
That's all right.
That's only one strike.
769
00:47:35,098 --> 00:47:36,557
(coach)
Let's go, Billy!
770
00:47:36,642 --> 00:47:38,184
[Soft lively
Mexican music]
771
00:47:38,268 --> 00:47:42,313
(umpire)
Strike three!
772
00:47:42,397 --> 00:47:44,190
That's only
one out.
773
00:47:46,652 --> 00:47:48,945
Strike three!
774
00:47:49,029 --> 00:47:52,156
Strike three!
Side out.
775
00:47:52,240 --> 00:47:54,742
That's all right!
That's only
one inning boys!
776
00:47:54,826 --> 00:47:58,204
Come on boys,
let's get this
one! Let's go!
777
00:47:58,288 --> 00:48:00,623
(coach)
Come on, boys.
778
00:48:00,666 --> 00:48:03,334
[Music continues]
779
00:48:03,418 --> 00:48:05,419
They scored a run.
780
00:48:07,130 --> 00:48:10,091
They scored again.
781
00:48:10,175 --> 00:48:14,345
(announcer)
Well I'll tell you,
these Mexicans may have
rolled all over the grass,
782
00:48:14,429 --> 00:48:16,681
but they sure ain't
rolling over on the field.
783
00:48:16,765 --> 00:48:19,225
Oh, tell me they're
going to stop
scoring runs.
784
00:48:19,309 --> 00:48:20,393
Don't worry.
785
00:48:22,646 --> 00:48:24,814
Ain't no Mexican
team gonna take
our flag!
786
00:48:24,898 --> 00:48:26,774
That's right!
787
00:48:26,858 --> 00:48:28,109
[Thump]
788
00:48:28,193 --> 00:48:29,986
You can't be serious
789
00:48:30,070 --> 00:48:31,612
letting a bunch of wetbacks
get the better of you!
790
00:48:31,697 --> 00:48:33,781
We're doing
the best we can.
791
00:48:33,865 --> 00:48:36,784
Well maybe that just
ain't enough. Hey boy!
I'm talking to you!
792
00:48:36,868 --> 00:48:38,577
Dad, I'm on deck!

00:48:38,662 --> 00:48:41,956
Remember, boys!
It ain't over
'till it's over!
794
00:48:44,501 --> 00:48:46,127
Strike three!
That's game.
795
00:48:46,211 --> 00:48:48,587
No no no!
It ain't over!
This ain't over!
796
00:48:48,672 --> 00:48:50,548
It's over.
797
00:48:50,632 --> 00:48:53,759
(Frankie)
A combination
of clutch hitting,
798
00:48:53,844 --> 00:48:56,762
and impermeable defense
led Monterrey Industrial
799
00:48:56,847 --> 00:48:59,849
to an improbable
7 to 1 victory.
800
00:48:59,933 --> 00:49:02,518
So there's your article.
I'm going home.
801
00:49:02,602 --> 00:49:05,062
(Mac)
No, you're going
to stay with this story.
802
00:49:05,147 --> 00:49:06,939
But the home team's out.
803
00:49:07,024 --> 00:49:10,109
So? The wetbacks
winning sells more papers.
804
00:49:10,193 --> 00:49:12,486
Can't be long, just
cover them 'till they lose.
805
00:49:20,620 --> 00:49:22,413
Frankie Stevens,
McAllen Gazette.
806
00:49:22,497 --> 00:49:24,040
No thanks.
807
00:49:24,082 --> 00:49:26,042
I'm not selling them.
I'm a reporter.

Cesar Faz.
809
00:49:29,546 --> 00:49:31,380
What are you
gawking at?
810
00:49:31,465 --> 00:49:34,008
I didn't know
there were female
sports reporters.
811
00:49:34,092 --> 00:49:36,469
You must
be pretty unwelcome
in the locker room.
812
00:49:36,553 --> 00:49:38,387
And beating
the home team makes
you about as popular
813
00:49:38,430 --> 00:49:39,847
as a skunk
at a lawn party.
814
00:49:39,931 --> 00:49:41,307
Well I'd rather
smell than lose.
815
00:49:41,391 --> 00:49:43,976
Maybe you can do
both tomorrow.
816
00:49:44,061 --> 00:49:45,936
You mind if I ask
them a few questions?
817
00:49:46,021 --> 00:49:47,813
They don't
speak English.
818
00:49:47,898 --> 00:49:50,274
How come
the kids keep
saying 'Gil Hodges'?
819
00:49:50,358 --> 00:49:52,902
And he just told
those girls that
he's Duke Snider.
820
00:49:52,986 --> 00:49:55,488
That's their
secret weapon.
821
00:49:59,117 --> 00:50:00,493
What is? But...
822
00:50:03,413 --> 00:50:04,914

We're tired,
Mr. Faz.

(Baltazar)
Can we sleep?
826
00:50:09,628 --> 00:50:11,295
Well, if you
lose tomorrow
827
00:50:11,379 --> 00:50:13,798
you'll get
plenty of sleep
on the bus home,
828
00:50:13,882 --> 00:50:15,466
now gather round.

get it going here.

That's 3 straight
wins for Monterrey.

I don't envy West Waco
who'll try to stop
them tomorrow.

Why the long face?

have expired.

it's Wednesday.

No, you're
the lie.
1035
01:01:30,224 --> 01:01:32,851
Angel. Cesar
is your coach.
1036
01:01:32,935 --> 01:01:36,396
Coach, Father?
Coach? I never asked
to be their coach.
1037
01:01:36,481 --> 01:01:38,356
That's enough Cesar.
Let's go take a walk,
1038
01:01:38,441 --> 01:01:39,941
get some
fresh air, okay?
1039
01:01:40,026 --> 01:01:42,986
I never asked to be
these kid's coach!
1040
01:01:43,070 --> 01:01:44,321
It's okay, boys.
1041
01:01:49,535 --> 01:01:52,621
(Father)
Why you mock Juan Diego?
In front of the boys!
1042
01:01:52,705 --> 01:01:54,372
I guess I just
don't believe
1043
01:01:54,457 --> 01:01:57,626
the meek win
because they're
pious, Father.
1044
01:01:57,710 --> 01:02:00,962
What really happened
in Saint Louis?
1045
01:02:01,005 --> 01:02:06,885
I was the
clubhouse attendant.
1046
01:02:06,969 --> 01:02:09,054
For years
I bit my tongue
1047
01:02:09,138 --> 01:02:13,058
picking up their
soiled towels,
jock straps.
1048
01:02:13,142 --> 01:02:15,977
Having to sleep
on the bus because
they wouldn't let me
1049
01:02:16,062 --> 01:02:18,980
sleep in the same
hotel as them.
1050
01:02:19,023 --> 01:02:21,316
[Soft music continues]
1051
01:02:21,359 --> 01:02:24,486
And I even took it
1052
01:02:24,529 --> 01:02:27,364
when they called me
the Mexican.
1053
01:02:27,448 --> 01:02:31,618
(policeman)
Okay. Story checks out.
1054
01:02:31,702 --> 01:02:35,497
But what
about your friend
and the boys in there?
1055
01:02:35,581 --> 01:02:37,082
They're with me.
1056
01:02:37,166 --> 01:02:40,335
I'm asking
about their
paperwork.
1057
01:02:40,419 --> 01:02:42,504
It's expired.
1058
01:02:42,547 --> 01:02:45,090
Then they's
going home.
1059
01:02:45,174 --> 01:02:48,051
These boys, uh,
1060
01:02:48,135 --> 01:02:52,514
boys are playing
in the Southern Regionals
in the next two days.
1061
01:02:52,557 --> 01:02:53,932
Isn't that
right, Father?
1062
01:02:54,016 --> 01:02:56,059
Yes. Two days.
1063
01:02:56,143 --> 01:03:00,105
Without their visas
Hope they're fixing
to play it in Mexico.
1064
01:03:00,189 --> 01:03:04,192
We'll be back.
'Till then, they
under house arrest!
1065
01:03:04,235 --> 01:03:06,111
Don't try
and hide them.
1066
01:03:06,195 --> 01:03:09,781
Hide a Mexican
baseball team
in Kentucky!
1067
01:03:09,866 --> 01:03:11,950
Thank you!
1068
01:03:12,034 --> 01:03:13,535
First thing
in the morning,
1069
01:03:13,619 --> 01:03:15,537
I'll call
the embassy
in Mexico City.
1070
01:03:15,580 --> 01:03:17,330
They're not going
to care Father.
1071
01:03:17,415 --> 01:03:19,666
Well you have
to have a little faith.
1072
01:03:19,750 --> 01:03:21,793
Maybe it's better
this way, then,
1073
01:03:21,878 --> 01:03:23,920
we just go
home undefeated.
1074
01:03:24,005 --> 01:03:25,380
What makes
you think they
are going to lose?
1075
01:03:25,464 --> 01:03:27,132
All dreams
come to an end.
1076
01:03:27,216 --> 01:03:29,968
Yeah yeah.
Go say goodnight
to the boys.
1077
01:03:30,052 --> 01:03:32,971
All right? And try not
to throw up.
1078
01:03:33,055 --> 01:03:35,557
[Suspenseful music]
1079
01:03:43,900 --> 01:03:46,610
Give me five
minutes to say
goodbye to the Mexicans.
1080
01:03:46,694 --> 01:03:51,448
You're gonna
be Biloxi's most
valuable player.
[Both chuckle]
1081
01:03:51,532 --> 01:03:53,074
The stick!
1082
01:03:55,119 --> 01:03:56,703
(Madge)
Captain Slater come in.
1083
01:03:56,787 --> 01:03:58,246
Hey, Madge.
1084
01:03:58,331 --> 01:04:00,081
(Madge)
Let the Mexicans go.
1085
01:04:00,166 --> 01:04:01,583
What? Hold...
1086
01:04:01,667 --> 01:04:04,002
(Madge)
I just got a wire.
1087
01:04:04,086 --> 01:04:07,130
(cop)
Hey, Captain Slater,
got to let them go.
1088
01:04:07,214 --> 01:04:11,343
Are you kidding me?
I'm the police chief
of this here county,
1089
01:04:11,427 --> 01:04:13,929
who is gonna
tell me what to do?
1090
01:04:14,013 --> 01:04:18,683
Secretary of State,
Washington DC.
1091
01:04:18,768 --> 01:04:21,853
(Cesar)
Visas extended
for 9 players
1092
01:04:21,938 --> 01:04:24,105
and only one coach,
this is ridiculous.
1093
01:04:24,148 --> 01:04:26,274
I have a flock to tend to
back in Monterrey,
1094
01:04:26,359 --> 01:04:28,485
I can do more good
for the team back there.
1095
01:04:28,569 --> 01:04:29,986
What am I gonna do?
1096
01:04:30,071 --> 01:04:33,281
You're their coach.
Coach them!
1097
01:04:33,324 --> 01:04:35,367
I must say my
goodbyes to them.
1098
01:04:35,451 --> 01:04:38,620
Don't, uh, don't
tell them about me
and Saint Louis.
1099
01:04:38,663 --> 01:04:39,996
I won't tell them.
1100
01:04:40,081 --> 01:04:41,081
Thanks.
1101
01:04:41,165 --> 01:04:45,168
Because you will.
1102
01:04:45,252 --> 01:04:47,462
(Father)
Boys, come,
gather round.
1103
01:04:52,134 --> 01:04:55,178
Whoa, hold it boy.
1104
01:04:55,262 --> 01:04:56,763
You got a tell.
1105
01:04:56,847 --> 01:04:58,390
Tell who what?
1106
01:04:58,474 --> 01:05:02,018
A tell, you're giving
your pitches away.
1107
01:05:02,103 --> 01:05:05,939
(grounds keeper)
Fastball!
1108
01:05:06,023 --> 01:05:09,484
(Biloxi coach)
Hey, hey, what don't
you mind your own
business, huh?
1109
01:05:09,527 --> 01:05:11,361
Last thing I need
is my boys
1110
01:05:11,445 --> 01:05:14,990
taking baseball
advice from some
old grounds-keeper.
1111
01:05:15,074 --> 01:05:17,575
All right, throw
the ball like
I told you!
1112
01:05:17,660 --> 01:05:20,954
Curveball.
1113
01:05:21,038 --> 01:05:25,542
(announcer)
We're about to kick off
the Southern Regional
here in Louisville.
1114
01:05:25,626 --> 01:05:27,002
(umpire)
Play ball!
1115
01:05:27,044 --> 01:05:28,837
[Cesar gives directions]
1116
01:05:28,879 --> 01:05:31,589
Monterrey! Where's
your lead off hitter?
1117
01:05:31,674 --> 01:05:35,427
(Biloxi coach)
Hey, what the blazes
is going on here ump?
1118
01:05:35,511 --> 01:05:38,513
Monterrey Coach,
come here.
1119
01:05:38,597 --> 01:05:42,517
(Biloxi coach)
You know I don't know
how y'all start a game
down there in Mexico,
1120
01:05:42,601 --> 01:05:45,061
never been there,
never wanted to go,
[chuckles]
1121
01:05:45,146 --> 01:05:47,731
But I'll tell you what,
we just got us two
words here,
1122
01:05:47,815 --> 01:05:50,150
'play' and 'ball'
and he's already
said them.
1123
01:05:50,234 --> 01:05:51,651
I don't suppose,
you have a priest?
1124
01:05:51,736 --> 01:05:53,236
Why, somebody dying?
[Chuckles]
1125
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:55,530
They won't play
without their blessing.
1126
01:05:55,614 --> 01:05:57,991
(Biloxi coach)
Hell, ain't that something?
[Chuckles]
1127
01:05:58,075 --> 01:06:00,035
Your fixing to forfeit.
1128
01:06:00,119 --> 01:06:03,705
Look, um, why don't
you just go talk some
reason into them.
1129
01:06:03,789 --> 01:06:05,206
Reason with these guys?
1130
01:06:05,291 --> 01:06:07,459
See what
you can do.
1131
01:06:07,543 --> 01:06:09,377
(Cesar)
No foolin', boys, you want
to lose and go home,
1132
01:06:09,420 --> 01:06:11,421
I'm not going
to argue with you.
1133
01:06:11,505 --> 01:06:13,882
You lost our priest,
you fix it.
1134
01:06:27,354 --> 01:06:28,563
They won't budge.
1135
01:06:28,606 --> 01:06:30,065
Well, there you have it,
1136
01:06:30,107 --> 01:06:33,568
rule 12 paragraph
nine, forfeit.
1137
01:06:33,611 --> 01:06:36,446
(grounds-keeper)
I got a nephew
that's a minister,
1138
01:06:36,530 --> 01:06:38,656
does that count?
1139
01:06:38,741 --> 01:06:41,993
Doesn't look to me like
you got a kid on this
team, grounds-keeper.
1140
01:06:42,078 --> 01:06:44,454
(Biloxi coach)
Now this is
a steaming pile, ump.
1141
01:06:44,538 --> 01:06:46,790
Now this is baseball,
this is America's game,
1142
01:06:46,874 --> 01:06:48,166
not some church service.
1143
01:06:48,250 --> 01:06:49,751
Coach,
what's your name?
1144
01:06:49,835 --> 01:06:51,294
Hicks, Sam Hicks.

bigger than God.
1148

I did not say that,
you know dad-gam well
I didn't say that,
1149
01:07:03,015 --> 01:07:07,685
but rule 12, paragraph 9,
must field at least 8
players or forfeit!
1150
01:07:07,770 --> 01:07:09,312
Now I demand
that you...
1151
01:07:09,396 --> 01:07:12,023
You ain't demanding
nothing on my field!
1152
01:07:12,108 --> 01:07:14,234
Now you take
a time out!
1153
01:07:14,318 --> 01:07:15,360
Now.
1154
01:07:15,444 --> 01:07:16,736
I'm demanding.
1155
01:07:16,821 --> 01:07:19,280
Go get that
nephew of yours.
1156
01:07:19,323 --> 01:07:22,534
Let's try and have
ourselves a ball game.
1157
01:07:22,618 --> 01:07:26,955
Hey, so what happened
to the priest you were
traveling with?
1158
01:07:27,039 --> 01:07:29,457
I told him
not to drink
the water here.
1159
01:07:29,500 --> 01:07:31,459

to forfeit this game?

been for that nosy
colored guy.

hearts and your prayers

and now I must ask
you to give even more
1196

so that our boys
can continue.

01:19:24,464 --> 01:19:29,093
but our local weatherman
has assured us a good day
for baseball tomorrow.
1364
01:19:29,177 --> 01:19:33,097
Now the semi finals,
will be played in
a double-header,
1365
01:19:33,181 --> 01:19:36,642
the new schedule,
you'll find it inside
your programs.
1366
01:19:39,729 --> 01:19:42,940
Is it possible to switch
the games, my boys
can't play at 2:30.
1367
01:19:43,024 --> 01:19:44,608
Well, why not?
1368
01:19:44,693 --> 01:19:47,987
It's their
siesta time.
[All laugh]
1369
01:19:50,365 --> 01:19:52,825
(LL official)
Any more questions?
Yes, sir.
1370
01:19:54,786 --> 01:19:57,580
Everybody knows
what time Mexicans
take their siestas!
1371
01:19:57,664 --> 01:19:59,206
They just trying...
1372
01:19:59,291 --> 01:20:01,041
I heard all
that stuff
in there, too.
1373
01:20:01,084 --> 01:20:03,878
You just got
to let that go.
1374
01:20:03,962 --> 01:20:06,505
You know my best
friend Jose was
killed in lwo Jima.
1375
01:20:06,590 --> 01:20:09,133
Saved an entire platoon,
but it wasn't good enough.
1376
01:20:09,217 --> 01:20:12,386
They buried him
in his hometown cemetery
because he wasn't white.
1377
01:20:12,429 --> 01:20:14,722
My daddy was lynched.
1378
01:20:14,806 --> 01:20:17,057
You can't run away
from that Cesar.
1379
01:20:17,100 --> 01:20:20,769
But also, you can't pick
a fight every time somebody
calls you a name.
1380
01:20:20,854 --> 01:20:24,648
Now you and your boys
are making a difference.
1381
01:20:24,733 --> 01:20:26,150
Yeah, for a few
parents at home.
1382
01:20:26,234 --> 01:20:27,902
Even to the white folks.
1383
01:20:27,986 --> 01:20:29,653
(Frankie)
It was a pleasure gentlemen.
1384
01:20:29,738 --> 01:20:31,739
Leaving so early,
Ms. Frankie?
1385
01:20:31,781 --> 01:20:34,325
Got a story to work on,
it's about Jim Crow
and baseball.
1386
01:20:34,409 --> 01:20:36,285
That'll ruffle
a few feathers.
1387
01:20:36,369 --> 01:20:38,162
I bet the editors will have
something to say about that.
1388
01:20:38,246 --> 01:20:40,456
Already has.
I told him he
prints this story,
1389
01:20:40,540 --> 01:20:42,333
or I'll see to it
somebody else does.
1390
01:20:42,417 --> 01:20:44,752
Good luck with that
story Miss Frankie.
1391
01:20:44,794 --> 01:20:49,548
Don't even say it.
1392
01:20:52,594 --> 01:20:56,013
Cesar, you should
start Angel tomorrow.
He's the stronger pitcher.
1393
01:20:56,097 --> 01:20:57,973
Yeah, well it's
Enrique's turn.
1394
01:20:58,058 --> 01:21:00,768
Cesar, no foreign
team has every made
it to the finals.
1395
01:21:00,852 --> 01:21:02,853
If he wins,
they'll make history.
1396
01:21:02,938 --> 01:21:05,856
You'll be guaranteed
a trophy. Angel is your
best chance.
1397
01:21:05,941 --> 01:21:10,027
Yeah, well, we've been
doing pretty good on this
rotation. Thanks.
1398
01:21:10,111 --> 01:21:12,321
Maybe we didn't make
ourselves clear.
1399
01:21:12,405 --> 01:21:15,616

I'm thinking
about starting Angel.

Why, Mr. Faz?
1404
01:21:32,217 --> 01:21:37,471
Well, no foreign team
has ever made it
to the final,
1405
01:21:37,555 --> 01:21:40,224
so I just, uh,
want to give it our...
1406
01:21:40,308 --> 01:21:41,600
Best?
1407
01:21:45,563 --> 01:21:48,565
Look this is my team,
and you'll do what
I tell you to do.
1408
01:21:48,650 --> 01:21:51,652
This is isn't
about feelings Enrique!
1409
01:21:51,736 --> 01:21:53,988
It's all
about feelings.

It's all about feelings.

Hey, Chico, bring us
some towels.

(Tanner)
You don't like
picking up towels?
1417

comfortable picking
lettuce out of a field.

you looking at?

Get out there
and start warming up.
1431
01:22:58,303 --> 01:22:59,887
Yes, Mr. Faz.

I'm pitching!
I'm pitching!

01:23:10,732 --> 01:23:13,275
Cesar, I thought
we told you...
1434
01:23:13,359 --> 01:23:16,070
When I die and you're
coach, you get to make
the line up.
1435
01:23:16,112 --> 01:23:18,113
You put in Angel
or we will...
1436

You'll what? You'll
get me fired? Too late.
1437

Or we will tell
them the truth.

about Saint Louis.

of the children, huh?

I see.

01:23:31,127 --> 01:23:35,214

been a change.

else is thinking,

have Enrique walk Carterola.

to pitch to him
with an open base?

if you're going to beat me,
beat my best pitch.

was their coach,

pitched Enrique today,

I wasn't their coach.
You were.

What are the odds
of Carterola lining
one up the middle?

That decision took guts,
but hey, it paid off.

Of course not.

I...
1562
01:31:07,833 --> 01:31:12,045
Padre Esteban sent you boys
a message of encouragement.
I got his words,
1563
01:31:12,129 --> 01:31:14,756
right here.
He wrote this
in Louisville
1564
01:31:14,840 --> 01:31:19,135
and asked me
to read it to you all
if you reached the finals,
1565
01:31:19,220 --> 01:31:22,764
so, here it goes.
Father Esteban here boys,
1566
01:31:22,848 --> 01:31:25,934
when you take
to the field today,
think of Juan Diego,
1567
01:31:26,018 --> 01:31:28,603
and remember
after the Bishop
threatened him,
1568
01:31:28,688 --> 01:31:34,067
he ran away,
lost his woman,
and hid in a bottle.
1569
01:31:34,151 --> 01:31:36,653
It was the bottom
of the ninth with two outs,
1570
01:31:36,737 --> 01:31:39,656
and even though
Juan Diego tried
to blame the ump,
1571
01:31:39,740 --> 01:31:42,617
and stall the big game,
he crossed that hill,
1572
01:31:42,702 --> 01:31:45,912
and scored
the winning run.
Became a hero.
1573
01:31:45,997 --> 01:31:49,749
And like him, if you
keep your faith in God,
1574
01:31:49,792 --> 01:31:54,921
He will help you show La Mesa
what you all are made of.
1575
01:31:54,964 --> 01:31:57,757
How did Father
know we were going
to play La Mesa?

of God, stupid,

Papa, [sighs]
I'm sorry for missing
my chores for so long.

01:50:56,604 --> 01:50:59,314
For Pedro's shrine.

01:51:00,734 --> 01:51:02,443
No, my son.
