(announcer over TV) Fans here at
Sportsman's are glued to their seats

00:01:08,578 --> 00:01:10,996
as the Cardinals and Dodgers
are even at two apiece.

00:01:11,038 --> 00:01:14,207
Sal Maglie takes the sign
from Campanella. He winds up.

Here's the pitch! Whammo!

00:01:16,210 --> 00:01:17,961
Musial's bat cracks off
at his fist
7
00:01:18,045 --> 00:01:20,380
as he sizzles
one to Gil Hodges,

00:01:20,464 --> 00:01:25,051

Does anyone want a slightly used bat?

I... I was promised.
11
00:01:33,978 --> 00:01:36,021
Promised? By who?
12
00:01:36,105 --> 00:01:37,230
By Eddie Stanky.
13
00:01:37,315 --> 00:01:39,107
Stanky's gone.
14
00:01:39,192 --> 00:01:40,859
Mr. Tanner,
15
00:01:40,943 --> 00:01:42,777
I've been working
on this shot for years.
16
00:01:42,862 --> 00:01:44,738
You'll get other shots,
but this is the Majors,
17
00:01:44,822 --> 00:01:46,698
and we need to bring in
somebody who's...
18
00:01:46,782 --> 00:01:50,327
Who's what?
Not Mexican?
19
00:01:58,878 --> 00:02:00,754
Look here,
when Stanky found you
20
00:02:00,838 --> 00:02:03,173
you were a batboy
in San Antonio.
21
00:02:03,257 --> 00:02:05,383
Hornsby hired you.
I didn't.
22
00:02:05,468 --> 00:02:08,553
It's my team now,
and you'll do what you're told.
23
00:02:08,638 --> 00:02:11,765
That's all, we're done.

Why?
28
00:02:21,692 --> 00:02:23,068
That's where
my folks are from.
29
00:02:23,152 --> 00:02:24,736
You don't know
anyone there.
30
00:02:24,779 --> 00:02:28,740

I knew people here.

By the end
of the shift,
37
00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:36,136
I want all
of this removed.
38
00:05:39,682 --> 00:05:42,350
(Umberto)
Hey you!
39
00:05:42,435 --> 00:05:43,977
Boss needs
this slag cleared.
40
00:05:44,061 --> 00:05:46,604
Sounds good. Why
don't you get it done?
41
00:05:48,190 --> 00:05:49,816
Why don't you go
back to America?
42
00:05:49,900 --> 00:05:51,526
(Suarez)
I hear he can't.
43
00:05:51,610 --> 00:05:53,611
(Villareal)
Maybe he killed somebody.
44
00:05:53,654 --> 00:05:57,449
You think you're better than us,
Mr. Baseball Man?
45
00:05:57,533 --> 00:05:59,784
Look where it got you.
46
00:06:01,996 --> 00:06:04,289
You'll never know what
it is to have anything
47

have anything to lose.

A few months ago,
50
00:06:18,762 --> 00:06:21,473
his oldest boy was playing
at the Church of the Dead.
51
00:06:21,557 --> 00:06:24,517
All of our boys did,
but his slipped and fell.
52
00:06:24,602 --> 00:06:27,687
(Father Esteban) Our Father who art in Heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
53
00:06:27,771 --> 00:06:30,857
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
on Earth as it is in heaven.
54
00:06:30,941 --> 00:06:34,068
Give us this day our daily bread
and forgive our trespasses
55
00:06:34,153 --> 00:06:36,738
as we forgive those who
trespass against us.
56
00:06:36,822 --> 00:06:40,408
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
57
00:06:40,493 --> 00:06:45,497
Today, we command the spirit
of Pedro Macias into Your hands.
58

In the name of the Father,
and the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
59

Take me.

have nothing.

Sandy Koufax.

streets of Brooklyn to the Major Leagues.

Strike three! He's done it!

his first shutout,

only two hits!

Mario! It's a Holy Day,
not a time for games.

or I'll do it myself.

not an evil man.

feel anymore.

(Angel) Do you think we have a chance?
106
00:09:53,060 --> 00:09:55,103
(Enrique) Two outs,
down by three in the bottom of the 9th!

Enrique, I meant
this season.

You know the beautiful
thing about opening day
109
00:09:59,274 --> 00:10:01,025
is today, every team
is in first place.
110
00:10:01,110 --> 00:10:02,902

last year.

Lucky?
You call Don Larson's perfect game, lucky?

What's a perfect game?
113

(Mario) No runs,
no hits, no walks.
114
00:10:12,496 --> 00:10:13,663
No one
gets to first.
115
00:10:13,747 --> 00:10:15,373
Yeah.
116

baseball is always perfect.

has no end.
119

(Mother) He sacrificed his only son!
We have Angel!

Never.

00:15:11,044 --> 00:15:14,422
[Panting] It's heavier than I thought.
179
00:15:14,506 --> 00:15:16,257
Let me see.
180
00:15:16,341 --> 00:15:18,509
Whoa.
181
00:15:23,306 --> 00:15:25,808
It's like
a woman's skin.
182
00:15:29,521 --> 00:15:32,523
(Mario) Father.
What does it mean?
183
00:15:32,607 --> 00:15:34,525
It means God wants
us to play baseball.
184
00:15:34,609 --> 00:15:36,694
Angel.
185
00:15:36,778 --> 00:15:38,362
That's what
I think it means.
186
00:15:38,447 --> 00:15:39,905
Me, too.
187
00:15:39,990 --> 00:15:41,699
What happens
when we lose this one?
188
00:15:41,783 --> 00:15:43,576
Is God going to drop another one from the sky?
189
00:15:43,660 --> 00:15:46,412
(Angel) He's God.
He can do anything.
190
00:15:46,496 --> 00:15:49,665
Father, what
does it say?
191
00:15:51,626 --> 00:15:54,086
It says it
belonged to a saint.
192
00:15:54,171 --> 00:15:55,796
(Kids)
Wow.
193
00:15:58,592 --> 00:16:00,885
Angel,
194
00:16:00,969 --> 00:16:03,637
maybe next time you can ask him to give us a bat!
195
00:16:03,722 --> 00:16:05,347
[All chuckle]
196
00:16:09,394 --> 00:16:12,063
[Rooster]
197
00:16:34,002 --> 00:16:35,503
You again.
198
00:16:35,587 --> 00:16:36,754
Want to have a catch?
199
00:16:36,838 --> 00:16:38,339
(Cesar)
No.
200
00:16:38,423 --> 00:16:41,092
Okay, I guess
I'll just
201
00:16:41,134 --> 00:16:43,511
have to practice
everyday by myself.
202
00:16:43,595 --> 00:16:46,514
Every single day,
right here!
203
00:16:46,598 --> 00:16:48,265
Everyday!
204
00:16:52,354 --> 00:16:54,688
[Sharp thuds]
205
00:17:08,620 --> 00:17:10,830
[Soft guitar music]
206
00:17:13,375 --> 00:17:15,709
All right.
Just this once.
207
00:17:15,794 --> 00:17:20,131
Then you have to promise me you're
going to pitch somewhere else, agreed?
208
00:17:33,603 --> 00:17:36,814
Wow. Who taught
you to pitch?
209
00:17:36,898 --> 00:17:37,898
Cardinals.
210
00:17:37,983 --> 00:17:40,192
In the Basilica?
211
00:17:40,277 --> 00:17:43,571
Saint Louis.
212
00:17:53,331 --> 00:17:55,082
The Saint Louis
Cardinals?
213
00:17:55,167 --> 00:17:56,667
That's right.
214
00:17:56,751 --> 00:17:58,169
You played
in the Majors?
215
00:17:58,211 --> 00:18:01,839
Well, sorta,
I... I coached.
216
00:18:01,923 --> 00:18:03,549
I'm a Dodger fan.
217
00:18:03,633 --> 00:18:05,551
Yeah, you're
Sandy Koufax.
218
00:18:05,635 --> 00:18:08,345
[Man shouting
and horn]
219
00:18:08,430 --> 00:18:10,014
[Chatter]
220
00:18:10,056 --> 00:18:14,018
Quiet! There she is!
My girlfriend.
221
00:18:14,102 --> 00:18:15,519
(Ricardo) Oh yeah?
Then go talk to her.
222
00:18:15,562 --> 00:18:17,021
Yeah.
223
00:18:17,105 --> 00:18:20,024
I have to wait
for the right moment.
224
00:18:20,066 --> 00:18:24,153
How about now?
Enrique, catch!
225
00:18:26,364 --> 00:18:29,366
Oops.
A little help, please!
226
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,955
Hi, Gloria,
such a surprise!
227
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:36,207
What is this?
228
00:18:36,249 --> 00:18:38,250
I-I-lt's a baseball.
229
00:18:38,335 --> 00:18:39,543
(Norberto)
A real one!
230
00:18:39,628 --> 00:18:40,961
Are these
your friends?
231
00:18:41,046 --> 00:18:42,463
(Ricardo)
We are his teammates!
232
00:18:42,547 --> 00:18:43,797
Yeah, we're
a real baseball team.
233
00:18:43,882 --> 00:18:45,049
Best in Monterrey!
234
00:18:45,133 --> 00:18:50,846
[Soft Mexican music]
235
00:18:50,931 --> 00:18:55,226
You know, they told me Monterrey
had the most beautiful girls in Mexico.
236
00:18:55,310 --> 00:18:57,728
Too bad for you,
we're on our way to America.
237
00:18:57,812 --> 00:18:59,980
Yeah, too bad.
238
00:19:00,065 --> 00:19:04,818
So Gloria, I was thinking, I could,
walk you home or something?!
239
00:19:04,903 --> 00:19:07,404
Sorry, my father
picks me up.
240
00:19:07,447 --> 00:19:09,657
Ooh! Popped up
to the catcher.
241
00:19:09,741 --> 00:19:10,991
How embarrassing.
242
00:19:11,076 --> 00:19:12,451
Who do you
think you are?
243
00:19:12,535 --> 00:19:14,495
We're the
Mexico City All Stars.
244
00:19:14,579 --> 00:19:15,913
Can you read?
245
00:19:15,997 --> 00:19:17,498
Sons of gringo
businessmen!
246
00:19:17,582 --> 00:19:19,333
Why don't you play
with Mexicans?
247
00:19:19,417 --> 00:19:21,335
With babies,
like you?
248
00:19:21,419 --> 00:19:24,421
(Mario) Who are you calling 'babies'?
Dummy.
249
00:19:24,464 --> 00:19:26,674
Come on, guys.
250

[Horn honking]
251
00:19:28,009 --> 00:19:30,177
I'll never
get Gloria.
252
00:19:30,262 --> 00:19:33,514
(Boy) You're not worth getting dirty over.
We're going to America.
253
00:19:33,598 --> 00:19:35,432
America.
254
00:19:37,602 --> 00:19:39,687
Father.
255
00:19:39,771 --> 00:19:42,064
Sorry, but we need to make the team now.
256
00:19:42,148 --> 00:19:44,483
Angel, what
is the hurry?
257
00:19:44,567 --> 00:19:48,112
We're 12.
See, we can't play in the league next year.
258
00:19:48,154 --> 00:19:49,947
Hmm. I see.
259
00:19:50,031 --> 00:19:52,157
Well then, you'll
need a coach.
260
00:19:52,242 --> 00:19:53,784
You could
be our coach!
261
00:19:53,868 --> 00:19:54,660
No, not me.
262
00:19:54,744 --> 00:19:56,829
Please.
263
00:19:56,913 --> 00:20:00,291
You need somebody who knows the game,
not just stick ball.
264
00:20:00,375 --> 00:20:03,127
I don't know anybody
like that in Monterrey.
265
00:20:04,879 --> 00:20:06,547
I do.
266
00:20:06,631 --> 00:20:08,507
(Cesar)
What now?
267
00:20:08,591 --> 00:20:10,634
(Angel) We are making a Little League team!
268
00:20:10,719 --> 00:20:12,052
Who's we?
269
00:20:12,137 --> 00:20:13,554
My friends
and Father Esteban.
270
00:20:13,638 --> 00:20:15,389
You can meet
him tomorrow at Mass.
271
00:20:15,473 --> 00:20:17,391

I don't think so kid.

[Soft sweet music]
273
00:20:19,644 --> 00:20:22,521
Do you like her?

Who?
275
00:20:24,274 --> 00:20:26,859
I think you
are in love.
276
00:20:26,943 --> 00:20:30,696
(Cesar) Nah,
there's plenty of fish in the sea.
277
00:20:30,780 --> 00:20:32,364
[Horns honking]
278
00:20:32,449 --> 00:20:34,491
Not like
that mermaid.
279
00:20:34,576 --> 00:20:36,869
You know her?
280
00:20:36,953 --> 00:20:38,996
(Angel) No,
but I know where she'll be tomorrow morning.
281
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:40,289
Where?

[Father continues
Mass in Latin]
286
00:21:13,782 --> 00:21:16,075
(Angel) Father Esteban,
this is Cesar Faz.
287
00:21:16,159 --> 00:21:17,242
Ah, yes.
288
00:21:17,327 --> 00:21:19,370
Good morning, Father.
289
00:21:19,454 --> 00:21:22,790
Angel tells me you used to coach
in the Major League Baseball.
290
00:21:22,874 --> 00:21:24,792
Yeah, yeah, I did.
291
00:21:24,876 --> 00:21:26,919
Well, it must have
been something.
292
00:21:27,003 --> 00:21:29,713
It was something.
293
00:21:29,756 --> 00:21:33,592
(Father) Yes, well,
they would like to have that same feeling, you know?
294
00:21:33,676 --> 00:21:36,220
In the American
Little League.
295
00:21:36,304 --> 00:21:41,725
(Angel) Mr. Faz, will you be our coach?
Will you take us to America?
296
00:21:46,439 --> 00:21:49,608
It would take a miracle to make
these kids into a real team.
297
00:21:49,692 --> 00:21:52,861
Sometimes, God gives us
the ability to make them.
298
00:21:52,946 --> 00:21:53,779
Teams?
299
00:21:53,863 --> 00:21:55,322
Miracles.
300
00:21:55,407 --> 00:21:58,158
These kids don't
even have a field.
301
00:21:58,243 --> 00:22:00,911
Sorry, kid.
302

[Cheerful music]

304

Nope.
305
00:22:44,497 --> 00:22:46,582
- We did it.
- Si.
306
00:22:46,666 --> 00:22:49,918
(Enrique) Yeah, the infield.
What about the outfield?

Yeah. You got
a field.

Lucky. It's Cesar.
319
00:24:00,782 --> 00:24:02,574
Cesar? How
the heck are you?
320
00:24:02,659 --> 00:24:05,077
You still got your contacts
in Williamsport?
321
00:24:05,161 --> 00:24:07,454
I need you to pull
some strings,
322
00:24:07,539 --> 00:24:10,207
and help me get Monterrey a Little League franchise.
323
00:24:10,291 --> 00:24:12,626
Little League? I thought
you didn't like kids.
324
00:24:12,710 --> 00:24:15,045
Well, you going to lecture me or you going to help me?
325
00:24:15,129 --> 00:24:17,005
You know that's a pretty tall order this late in the game.
326
00:24:17,090 --> 00:24:19,049
I watched you
deck a shore patrolman
327
00:24:19,133 --> 00:24:21,552
and then sweet-talk him into
driving you back to your ship.
328
00:24:21,636 --> 00:24:23,887
I know what you can
do on a one-day leave.
329
00:24:23,930 --> 00:24:26,139
Oh, good, I didn't know
I had a whole day.

[Thump]
337
00:24:44,617 --> 00:24:46,410
(Father) They already know how to do all these things.
338
00:24:46,494 --> 00:24:48,704
They just need you to tell them when to do them.
339
00:24:48,788 --> 00:24:49,746
(Cesar)
Wow.
340
00:24:49,831 --> 00:24:51,331
Um, thank you.

Oh, uh.
343
00:25:03,136 --> 00:25:06,680
You shouldn't hold
that so tightly.
344
00:25:06,764 --> 00:25:10,642
You'll bruise
the delicate fruit inside.
345
00:25:10,727 --> 00:25:14,313
You were in church
on Sunday, right?
346

Yes, yes I was in church on Sunday.
That was me.

you buy food here?

[Chuckling] Yes, Cesar Faz,
it's a food market.
352
00:25:29,537 --> 00:25:32,164
Right.
353
00:25:32,248 --> 00:25:34,374
And what
do you do here?
354
00:25:34,459 --> 00:25:37,127
I'm here scouting
for the team.
355
00:25:37,211 --> 00:25:38,962
Oh, what kind of team?
356
00:25:39,047 --> 00:25:40,339
Little

00:25:40,423 --> 00:25:41,840
Here? In Monterrey?
358
00:25:41,924 --> 00:25:44,051
First time
for everything, right?
359
00:25:44,135 --> 00:25:46,470
Like Cesar Faz
coming to my church.
360
00:25:46,554 --> 00:25:49,973
That's right. Yeah.
361
00:25:50,058 --> 00:25:52,142
Well, that's all
I came for.
362
00:25:52,185 --> 00:25:53,769
Yeah, we,
you and I,
363
00:25:53,853 --> 00:25:56,355
uh, should go out?
364
00:25:56,439 --> 00:26:01,360
(Maria) Um,
would you like to join my family for dinner, tonight?
365
00:26:01,444 --> 00:26:03,570
Yeah. Yeah. Tonight?
366
00:26:03,655 --> 00:26:05,155
Mm-hm.
367
00:26:05,239 --> 00:26:06,990
Yeah. That sounds
real nice.
368
00:26:07,075 --> 00:26:09,076
7 o'clock then?
369
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:10,702
7 o'clock.
370
00:26:10,787 --> 00:26:12,079
Bye.
371
00:26:12,163 --> 00:26:13,538
Father.
372
00:26:21,506 --> 00:26:24,383
[Sighs] What are you guys doing here?
373
00:26:24,467 --> 00:26:26,009
Recruiting, remember?
374
00:26:26,094 --> 00:26:28,470
I think Mr. Faz
has been recruiting.
375
00:26:28,554 --> 00:26:29,888
Okay, okay, who
do we got?
376
00:26:29,972 --> 00:26:32,057
[Man shouting,
horns honking]
377
00:26:32,141 --> 00:26:34,017
(Angel)
That's Fidel Ruiz.
378
00:26:34,102 --> 00:26:36,853
[Man continues shouting]
379
00:26:39,065 --> 00:26:40,524
Man, that kid can run.
380
00:26:40,608 --> 00:26:42,109
Tell him it's a sin
to steal.
381
00:26:42,193 --> 00:26:44,194
Unless it's bases.
He's in.
382
00:26:44,278 --> 00:26:45,904
How about that kid that murdered
that cardboard decoration?
383
00:26:45,988 --> 00:26:47,364
(Both)
Baltazar!
384
00:26:47,448 --> 00:26:49,282
He's the strongest
kid in town.
385
00:26:49,367 --> 00:26:51,368
He's in. Okay. Angel,
Enrique, Ricardo, Fidel.
386
00:26:51,411 --> 00:26:53,203
What about Mario?
387
00:26:53,246 --> 00:26:55,330
(Angel) Yes, yes,
Mario's important.
388
00:26:55,415 --> 00:26:57,040
[Chatting]
389
00:26:57,083 --> 00:26:59,710
He's pretty small.
Is he a great hitter?
390
00:26:59,752 --> 00:27:01,753
Um, not so much.
391
00:27:01,838 --> 00:27:03,588
Fantastic fielder?
392
00:27:03,673 --> 00:27:05,882
Uh, not so much.
393
00:27:05,967 --> 00:27:07,968
(Cesar)
Mario.
394
00:27:08,052 --> 00:27:10,429
You got a great
arm, right?
395
00:27:10,513 --> 00:27:11,555
Not so much.
396
00:27:11,639 --> 00:27:13,724
Mr. Faz.
397
00:27:13,766 --> 00:27:16,309
(Cesar)
Why's he so special?
398
00:27:16,394 --> 00:27:18,937
Because he knows all the girls.
[All chuckle]
399
00:27:19,021 --> 00:27:20,731
Mario. You
got a glove?
400
00:27:20,815 --> 00:27:22,190
Yeah!
401
00:27:22,275 --> 00:27:24,317
[All chuckling]
Mario, you're in.
402
00:27:24,402 --> 00:27:25,652
(Cesar) Okay,
I want you on the field in an hour.
403
00:27:25,737 --> 00:27:26,778
What about the flowers?
404
00:27:26,863 --> 00:27:27,779
Flowers? For what?
405
00:27:27,864 --> 00:27:29,281
For Maria.
406
00:27:29,365 --> 00:27:30,949
Maybe you didn't
hear that beauty,
407
00:27:31,033 --> 00:27:32,951
just invite me to her house for dinner.
408
00:27:33,035 --> 00:27:34,119
Really?
409
00:27:34,203 --> 00:27:38,081
Where does she live?
410
00:27:38,166 --> 00:27:41,501
Diego Martin number 5.
411
00:27:41,586 --> 00:27:43,420
And don't forget
the flowers.
412
00:27:43,504 --> 00:27:46,006
(Father) Dear Lord,
bless these boys
413
00:27:46,090 --> 00:27:48,341
and the field
on which they play
414
00:27:48,426 --> 00:27:51,178
for your greater
honor and glory.
415
00:27:51,262 --> 00:27:54,806
Father. Son.
Holy Ghost. Amen.
416
00:27:56,768 --> 00:27:59,269
Does anybody know the Holy Trinity of baseball?
417
00:27:59,353 --> 00:28:02,606
(Norberto) The Father,
The Son, and The Holy Ghost.
418
00:28:02,648 --> 00:28:06,818
Close. Home runs, RBI's,
and batting averages.
419
00:28:06,903 --> 00:28:10,113
And they all revolve around this.
[Horn honking]

[Cheerful music]
421
00:28:17,079 --> 00:28:18,955
Looking good, Pepe.
422
00:28:21,959 --> 00:28:23,293
Who are you?
423
00:28:23,336 --> 00:28:25,128
I'm Pepe Maiz Garcia.
424
00:28:25,213 --> 00:28:26,963
I play left field.
425
00:28:27,048 --> 00:28:29,216
But coach hasn't
made positions yet.
426
00:28:29,300 --> 00:28:31,009
Well we'll see.
427
00:28:36,015 --> 00:28:38,975
Boys, meet your
new left fielder.
428
00:28:39,018 --> 00:28:42,687
[Boys exclaim]
429
00:28:42,772 --> 00:28:43,980
(Enrique) You think your Dad
can buy your way onto the team?
430
00:28:44,065 --> 00:28:45,857
Money isn't everything.
431
00:28:45,942 --> 00:28:47,776
Yeah, well, you don't have any.
And you never will.
432
00:28:47,860 --> 00:28:49,986
At least I'll always be able to kick your butt.
433
00:28:50,029 --> 00:28:52,405
(Cesar) All right everybody!
Heads up! Runner on first.
434
00:28:52,490 --> 00:28:55,033
One out, play to second.
Ready? Fidel.
435
00:28:55,117 --> 00:28:57,077
(Fidel) What runner Mr. Faz?
There's no one on the base.
436
00:28:57,161 --> 00:28:59,162
Pretend.
437
00:29:02,166 --> 00:29:05,085
(Norberto) Yogi Berra said 90
% of the game is half mental.
438
00:29:05,169 --> 00:29:07,170
Well I must be
100 % mental
439
00:29:07,255 --> 00:29:11,341
to think that I could teach you
kids baseball in four weeks.
440
00:29:13,803 --> 00:29:15,470
Baltazar!
441
00:29:17,765 --> 00:29:18,849
What happened?
442
00:29:18,891 --> 00:29:20,517
You said Baltazar.
443
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,770
The unexpected play
at the unexpected time.
444
00:29:23,855 --> 00:29:25,564
That's what we're
training for!
445
00:29:25,648 --> 00:29:27,691
Nice play, girl.
446
00:29:27,775 --> 00:29:30,193
Come on, you kids.
Keep it together.
447
00:29:30,278 --> 00:29:31,361
Ugh.

(Cesar)
Hey! Hey!
450
00:29:37,451 --> 00:29:39,786
There's two
kinds of players.
451
00:29:39,871 --> 00:29:43,206
Those who can play as a team and
those who won't be on this team!
452
00:29:43,291 --> 00:29:46,585
You got
that! Alright.
453
00:29:46,669 --> 00:29:48,920
Everybody, five laps.
454
00:29:49,005 --> 00:29:51,965
It was their fight,
we shouldn't all have to run five laps!
455
00:29:52,049 --> 00:29:55,468
Norberto's right.
Everybody, ten laps! Move it!
456
00:29:55,553 --> 00:29:57,053

Again!
461

Make sure you get it!

What are you doing?
464
00:30:25,416 --> 00:30:27,834
Mr. Faz,
you have a date!
465
00:30:27,919 --> 00:30:31,588
Get back to your
position! Go!
466
00:30:33,382 --> 00:30:37,093
Again!

470
00:31:05,623 --> 00:31:07,040
run an extra
five laps,
471
00:31:07,124 --> 00:31:08,959
and I know you
don't want that.
472
00:31:09,043 --> 00:31:12,128
You want to be a champ,
you got to run like a champ.

keep up, Ricardo.

(Cesar)
Way to go, Norberto.
476
00:31:24,642 --> 00:31:27,727
(Maria) I don't know what men do in America,
but in Mexico,
477
00:31:27,812 --> 00:31:30,563
they treat a woman
with more respect.
478
00:31:30,648 --> 00:31:32,232
Sorry.

just forgot.

Mr.
Faz, here are the flowers you got for the lady yesterday.

Flowers?
483
00:31:42,368 --> 00:31:44,703
You got this for me?
484
00:31:44,787 --> 00:31:48,331
I... I know you told me to put them in water,
485
00:31:48,374 --> 00:31:51,001
they're
a little wilted.
486
00:31:51,085 --> 00:31:53,211
They're beautiful.

Oh!
Because I didn't put the flowers in the water, right!

00:44:44,941 --> 00:44:47,193
Mr.
Faz, the game is in one hour.
708
00:44:47,277 --> 00:44:50,321
Well what a perfect time then.
Come on.

00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,034
Batting practice?

00:44:55,118 --> 00:44:57,578
Who do y'all think you're messing with here, huh?
712
00:44:59,539 --> 00:45:02,958

No opinion.

One more sec. Mac.
716
00:45:11,468 --> 00:45:16,138
May provoke a nuclear
arms race in space.
717
00:45:16,181 --> 00:45:18,974
Arms race in space?
718
00:45:19,059 --> 00:45:21,560
Come on, Frankie. What's next?
Men on the moon?
719
00:45:21,645 --> 00:45:24,063
It's good stuff, Mac.
Besides, it's my day off.
720
00:45:24,147 --> 00:45:26,941
Yeah about that,
I need you to cover a Little League game.
721
00:45:27,025 --> 00:45:29,151
Our team's got a chance
at the tournament.
722
00:45:29,236 --> 00:45:31,403
A kid's baseball game? No.
723
00:45:31,488 --> 00:45:33,030
Riley's your sports writer.

00:45:33,114 --> 00:45:34,406
His wife's
expecting any minute.
725
00:45:34,491 --> 00:45:36,200
Well what
about Hayne?
726
00:45:36,284 --> 00:45:38,661
Got him working on the Governor Daniels story.
727
00:45:38,745 --> 00:45:42,039
Well, you got plenty of other men on your staff,
don't you?
728
00:45:42,123 --> 00:45:45,209
I hear you know more about the game than any of them.
729
00:45:45,293 --> 00:45:47,795
Ain't you named
after a ballplayer?
730
00:45:47,879 --> 00:45:49,338
I hate baseball.
731
00:45:49,422 --> 00:45:51,423
What are you,
some kind of communist?
732
00:45:51,508 --> 00:45:54,593
Yeah, you got me,
that's why I work here for next to nothing.
733
00:45:54,678 --> 00:45:56,512
Hm.
734
00:45:56,555 --> 00:45:59,765
[Sighs] Fine.
What's so important about this game?
735
00:45:59,850 --> 00:46:02,518
We got some boys
come up from Mexico
736
00:46:02,602 --> 00:46:05,020
thought we'd play the invasion angle,
you know,
737
00:46:05,063 --> 00:46:07,606
our boys defending what their Granddaddy's fought for.
738
00:46:07,691 --> 00:46:09,775
And what if
the Mexicans win?
739
00:46:09,860 --> 00:46:12,653
5 will get you 20 those boys
ain't gonna to score a single run.
740
00:46:12,737 --> 00:46:15,573
I did not study journalism to get
stuck on this back page assignment.
741
00:46:15,657 --> 00:46:17,825
I'm not doing it,
and that's final.
742
00:46:17,909 --> 00:46:20,995
That's fine,
not everybody is cut out for the Gazette.
743
00:46:21,079 --> 00:46:25,291
Why don't you run out and get yourself
an apron, maybe, find a husband.
744
00:46:25,375 --> 00:46:28,669
You know, you say that one more time,
I will punch you in the nose.
745
00:46:28,753 --> 00:46:30,796
It's been awhile
since I fought a woman.
746
00:46:30,881 --> 00:46:34,425
We're not in the same
weight class, I don't think.
747
00:46:34,509 --> 00:46:36,719
3 o'clock.
McAllen field!
748
00:46:38,221 --> 00:46:40,055
I take that as a yes?

[Boys shouting]
750
00:46:42,183 --> 00:46:44,727
Well, at least we know they didn't bring any ringers.
751
00:46:44,811 --> 00:46:47,730
Heck, they don't look
but nine or ten.
752
00:46:49,316 --> 00:46:50,691
Hey guys,
see this thing!
753
00:46:50,775 --> 00:46:52,484
Hey, come on, Jake,
give it back.
754
00:46:52,569 --> 00:46:54,236
What do
you care?
755

There now, boys.

the pitcher.

762
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:15,049
Okay, Mr. Faz.
763
00:47:15,133 --> 00:47:17,801
You can
do this, Koufax.
764
00:47:17,886 --> 00:47:21,472
(Announcer) We're ready to get started
here on field one as Bobby Lampkin
765
00:47:21,556 --> 00:47:26,185
will lead things off for McAllen
against Monterrey's Angel Macias.
766
00:47:26,269 --> 00:47:27,269

Come on there, Billy!
767
00:47:27,354 --> 00:47:28,979
Strike!
768

That's all right.
That's only one strike.

That's only one inning boys!

They scored a run.

They scored again.
781
00:48:07,185 --> 00:48:11,355
(Announcer) Well I'll tell you,
these Mexicans may have rolled all over the grass,
782
00:48:11,439 --> 00:48:13,691
but they sure ain't
rolling over on the field.
783
00:48:13,775 --> 00:48:16,235
Oh, tell me they're going to stop scoring runs.
784
00:48:16,319 --> 00:48:17,403
Don't worry.
785
00:48:19,656 --> 00:48:21,824

get the better of you!

the best we can.

(Frankie) A combination of clutch hitting,
798
00:48:50,854 --> 00:48:53,772
and impermeable defense
led Monterrey Industrial
799
00:48:53,857 --> 00:48:56,859
to an improbable
7 to 1 victory.

803
00:49:04,034 --> 00:49:07,119
So? The wetbacks
winning sells more papers.

cover them 'till they lose.

What are you
gawking at?
810

I didn't know there were female sports reporters.
811
00:49:31,102 --> 00:49:33,479
You must be pretty unwelcome in the locker room.
812
00:49:33,563 --> 00:49:35,397
And beating the home team makes you about as popular
813
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:36,857
as a skunk
at a lawn party.
814
00:49:36,941 --> 00:49:38,317
Well I'd rather
smell than lose.
815
00:49:38,401 --> 00:49:40,986
Maybe you can do
both tomorrow.
816
00:49:41,071 --> 00:49:42,946
You mind if I ask
them a few questions?
817
00:49:43,031 --> 00:49:44,823
They don't
speak English.
818
00:49:44,908 --> 00:49:47,284
How come the kids keep saying 'Gil Hodges'?
819
00:49:47,368 --> 00:49:49,912
And he just told those girls that he's Duke Snider.
820
00:49:49,996 --> 00:49:52,498
That's their
secret weapon.
821
00:49:56,127 --> 00:49:57,503
What is? But...

lose tomorrow

1049
01:02:13,072 --> 01:02:15,990
sleep in the same
hotel as them.
1050
01:02:16,033 --> 01:02:18,326
[Soft music continues]
1051
01:02:18,369 --> 01:02:21,496
And I even took it
1052
01:02:21,539 --> 01:02:24,374
when they called me
the Mexican.
1053
01:02:24,458 --> 01:02:28,628
(Policeman)
Okay. Story checks out.
1054
01:02:28,712 --> 01:02:32,507
But what about your friend and the boys in there?
1055
01:02:32,591 --> 01:02:34,092
They're with me.
1056
01:02:34,176 --> 01:02:37,345
I'm asking about their paperwork.
1057
01:02:37,429 --> 01:02:39,514
It's expired.
1058
01:02:39,557 --> 01:02:42,100
Then they's
going home.
1059
01:02:42,184 --> 01:02:45,061
These boys, uh,
1060
01:02:45,145 --> 01:02:49,524
boys are playing in the Southern
Regionals in the next two days.
1061
01:02:49,567 --> 01:02:50,942
Isn't that
right, Father?
1062
01:02:51,026 --> 01:02:53,069
Yes. Two days.
1063
01:02:53,153 --> 01:02:57,115
Without their visas Hope they're
fixing to play it in Mexico.
1064
01:02:57,199 --> 01:03:01,202
We'll be back. 'Till then,
they under house arrest!
1065
01:03:01,245 --> 01:03:03,121
Don't try
and hide them.
1066
01:03:03,205 --> 01:03:06,791
Hide a Mexican baseball team in Kentucky!
1067
01:03:06,876 --> 01:03:08,960
Thank you!
1068
01:03:09,044 --> 01:03:10,545
First thing
in the morning,
1069
01:03:10,629 --> 01:03:12,547
I'll call the embassy in Mexico City.
1070
01:03:12,590 --> 01:03:14,340
They're not going
to care Father.
1071
01:03:14,425 --> 01:03:16,676
Well you have
to have a little faith.
1072
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:18,803
Maybe it's better
this way, then,
1073
01:03:18,888 --> 01:03:20,930
we just go
home undefeated.
1074
01:03:21,015 --> 01:03:22,390
What makes you think they are going to lose?
1075
01:03:22,474 --> 01:03:24,142
All dreams
come to an end.
1076
01:03:24,226 --> 01:03:26,978
Yeah yeah.
Go say goodnight to the boys.
1077
01:03:27,062 --> 01:03:29,981
All right? And try not
to throw up.
1078
01:03:30,065 --> 01:03:32,567
[Suspenseful music]
1079
01:03:40,910 --> 01:03:43,620
Give me five minutes to say goodbye to the Mexicans.
1080
01:03:43,704 --> 01:03:48,458
You're gonna be Biloxi's most valuable player.
[Both chuckle]
1081
01:03:48,542 --> 01:03:50,084
The stick!
1082
01:03:52,129 --> 01:03:53,713
(Madge)
Captain Slater come in.
1083
01:03:53,797 --> 01:03:55,256
Hey, Madge.
1084
01:03:55,341 --> 01:03:57,091
(Madge)
Let the Mexicans go.
1085
01:03:57,176 --> 01:03:58,593
What? Hold...
1086
01:03:58,677 --> 01:04:01,012
(Madge)
I just got a wire.
1087
01:04:01,096 --> 01:04:04,140
(Cop) Hey, Captain Slater,
got to let them go.
1088
01:04:04,224 --> 01:04:08,353
Are you kidding me?
I'm the police chief of this here county,
1089
01:04:08,437 --> 01:04:10,939
who is gonna
tell me what to do?
1090
01:04:11,023 --> 01:04:15,693
Secretary of State,
Washington DC.
1091
01:04:15,778 --> 01:04:18,863
(Cesar) Visas extended for 9 players
1092
01:04:18,948 --> 01:04:21,115
and only one coach,
this is ridiculous.
1093
01:04:21,158 --> 01:04:23,284
I have a flock to tend to
back in Monterrey,
1094
01:04:23,369 --> 01:04:25,495
I can do more good
for the team back there.
1095
01:04:25,579 --> 01:04:26,996
What am I gonna do?
1096
01:04:27,081 --> 01:04:30,291
You're their coach.
Coach them!
1097
01:04:30,334 --> 01:04:32,377
I must say my
goodbyes to them.
1098
01:04:32,461 --> 01:04:35,630
Don't, uh,
don't tell them about me and Saint Louis.
1099
01:04:35,673 --> 01:04:37,006
I won't tell them.
1100
01:04:37,091 --> 01:04:38,091
Thanks.
1101
01:04:38,175 --> 01:04:42,178
Because you will.
1102
01:04:42,262 --> 01:04:44,472
(Father) Boys, come,
gather round.
1103
01:04:49,144 --> 01:04:52,188
Whoa, hold it boy.
1104
01:04:52,272 --> 01:04:53,773
You got a tell.
1105
01:04:53,857 --> 01:04:55,400
Tell who what?
1106
01:04:55,484 --> 01:04:59,028
A tell, you're giving
your pitches away.
1107
01:04:59,113 --> 01:05:02,949
(Grounds keeper)
Fastball!
1108
01:05:03,033 --> 01:05:06,494
(Biloxi coach) Hey, hey,
what don't you mind your own business, huh?
1109
01:05:06,537 --> 01:05:08,371
Last thing I need
is my boys
1110
01:05:08,455 --> 01:05:12,000
taking baseball advice from some old grounds-keeper.
1111
01:05:12,084 --> 01:05:14,585
All right,
throw the ball like I told you!
1112
01:05:14,670 --> 01:05:17,964
Curveball.
1113
01:05:18,048 --> 01:05:22,552
(Announcer) We're about to kick off the
Southern Regional here in Louisville.
1114
01:05:22,636 --> 01:05:24,012
(Umpire)
Play ball!
1115
01:05:24,054 --> 01:05:25,847
[Cesar gives directions]
1116
01:05:25,889 --> 01:05:28,599
Monterrey! Where's
your lead off hitter?
1117
01:05:28,684 --> 01:05:32,437
(Biloxi coach) Hey,

1118
01:05:32,521 --> 01:05:35,523
Monterrey Coach,
come here.
1119
01:05:35,607 --> 01:05:39,527
(Biloxi coach) You know I don't know how
y'all start a game down there in Mexico,
1120
01:05:39,611 --> 01:05:42,071
never been there,
never wanted to go, [chuckles]
1121
01:05:42,156 --> 01:05:44,741
But I'll tell you what,
we just got us two words here,
1122
01:05:44,825 --> 01:05:47,160
'play' and 'ball' and he's already said them.
1123
01:05:47,244 --> 01:05:48,661
I don't suppose,
you have a priest?
1124
01:05:48,746 --> 01:05:50,246
Why, somebody dying?
[Chuckles]
1125
01:05:50,330 --> 01:05:52,540
They won't play
without their blessing.
1126
01:05:52,624 --> 01:05:55,001
(Biloxi coach) Hell,
ain't that something? [Chuckles]
1127
01:05:55,085 --> 01:05:57,045
Your fixing to forfeit.
1128
01:05:57,129 --> 01:06:00,715
Look, um,
why don't you just go talk some reason into them.
1129
01:06:00,799 --> 01:06:02,216
Reason with these guys?
1130
01:06:02,301 --> 01:06:04,469
See what
you can do.
1131
01:06:04,553 --> 01:06:06,387
(Cesar) No foolin', boys,
you want to lose and go home,
1132
01:06:06,430 --> 01:06:08,431
I'm not going
to argue with you.
1133
01:06:08,515 --> 01:06:10,892
You lost our priest,
you fix it.
1134
01:06:24,364 --> 01:06:25,573
They won't budge.
1135
01:06:25,616 --> 01:06:27,075
Well, there you have it,
1136
01:06:27,117 --> 01:06:30,578
rule 12 paragraph
nine, forfeit.
1137
01:06:30,621 --> 01:06:33,456
(Grounds-keeper) I got a nephew that's a minister,
1138
01:06:33,540 --> 01:06:35,666
does that count?
1139
01:06:35,751 --> 01:06:39,003
Doesn't look to me like you got a
kid on this team, grounds-keeper.
1140
01:06:39,088 --> 01:06:41,464
(Biloxi coach) Now this is a steaming pile, ump.
1141
01:06:41,548 --> 01:06:43,800
Now this is baseball,
this is America's game,
1142
01:06:43,884 --> 01:06:45,176
not some church service.
1143
01:06:45,260 --> 01:06:46,761
Coach,
what's your name?
1144
01:06:46,845 --> 01:06:48,304

I did not say that,
you know dad-gam well I didn't say that,
1149
01:07:00,025 --> 01:07:04,695
but rule 12, paragraph 9,
must field at least 8 players or forfeit!
1150
01:07:04,780 --> 01:07:06,322
Now I demand
that you...
1151
01:07:06,406 --> 01:07:09,033
You ain't demanding
nothing on my field!
1152
01:07:09,118 --> 01:07:11,244
Now you take
a time out!
1153
01:07:11,328 --> 01:07:12,370
Now.
1154
01:07:12,454 --> 01:07:13,746
I'm demanding.
1155
01:07:13,831 --> 01:07:16,290
Go get that
nephew of yours.
1156
01:07:16,333 --> 01:07:19,544
Let's try and have
ourselves a ball game.
1157
01:07:19,628 --> 01:07:23,965
Hey, so what happened to the
priest you were traveling with?
1158
01:07:24,049 --> 01:07:26,467
I told him not to drink the water here.
1159
01:07:26,510 --> 01:07:28,469

Any particular blessing?

won this game

if it wouldn't have been for that nosy colored guy.

you to give even more
1196

so that our boys
can continue.

01:11:35,926 --> 01:11:40,137
Now, can anybody tell me who takes the cutoff to home
1218
01:11:40,222 --> 01:11:43,474
with runners both on
first and second?
1219
01:11:43,558 --> 01:11:46,102
At least he can't make us go outside and run laps.
1220
01:11:46,186 --> 01:11:47,895

1223
01:12:02,494 --> 01:12:04,703
Don't try and win the game
with one swing.
1224
01:12:04,788 --> 01:12:07,331
The goal is to make the rally last as long as possible,
you got that.
1225
01:12:07,416 --> 01:12:09,291
Like kissing a girl.
1226

close your eyes.

You think you know a lot about women, huh?
1229
01:12:18,718 --> 01:12:21,095
I know that you have to try harder to win Maria.
1230
01:12:22,514 --> 01:12:24,014
Strike one.
1231
01:12:24,099 --> 01:12:29,019
I stood her up twice,
it's... It's over.
1232

1233
01:12:30,939 --> 01:12:34,650
That's two strikes,
you get three.

(announcer) It all comes down to clean up hitter
1246

Clyde Conner, with two
outs in the last inning.
1247
01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:24,909
Clyde's a switch hitter,
he's been highly effective
1248
01:13:24,993 --> 01:13:27,620
batting lefty against
right-handed pitchers.

get it done. [Epic music]

1254
01:13:53,855 --> 01:13:56,190
pick a side.

(Cesar) Pepe,
you didn't make your cut off in the sixth.
1259
01:14:12,666 --> 01:14:13,832
But the run
didn't score.
1260
01:14:13,917 --> 01:14:15,709
Yeah, but
it could've.
1261
01:14:15,794 --> 01:14:18,295

you back up your plays to the plate.

you cover Ricardo.

You know,
Berto just gave me an idea.

ten laps.

Looks like you boys are on the way to Williamsport.
1270
01:14:37,607 --> 01:14:40,442
I meant to thank you for working
with my boys yesterday.
1271
01:14:40,527 --> 01:14:42,987
You must learn a lot about baseball working here.
1272
01:14:43,071 --> 01:14:46,782
My uncle is Cool Papa Bell.
He played for the Monarchs in the Negro Leagues.
1273
01:14:46,866 --> 01:14:49,702
The fastest man in baseball.
He coached Jackie Robinson.
1274
01:14:49,786 --> 01:14:51,579
He coached Jackie Robinson?
1275
01:14:51,663 --> 01:14:54,123
Yeah, we roomed together when we was on the road.
1276
01:14:54,207 --> 01:14:57,334
Jackie said my uncle was so fast,
when he turned off the light,
1277
01:14:57,419 --> 01:15:00,754
Cool Papa was in the bed
before it got dark.
1278
01:15:00,797 --> 01:15:04,341
You know, this is the best-coached
team I've seen since the Monarchs.
1279
01:15:04,426 --> 01:15:05,718
This is for you.
1280
01:15:05,802 --> 01:15:07,761
What's this?
1281
01:15:07,846 --> 01:15:10,139

and the boys.
1283

Why are you doing this?
1284
01:15:14,436 --> 01:15:16,520
Well lets
just say that, uh,
1285
01:15:16,605 --> 01:15:20,774
you and I both know what it means to be underdogs.

told me that God works his miracles

1289
01:15:34,623 --> 01:15:38,459
are proving her right.
But you won't see me in church praying this week,
1290
01:15:38,543 --> 01:15:43,088
you'll see me at Williamsport,
Pennsylvania for the Little League World Series.
1291
01:15:43,173 --> 01:15:44,548
You got that Mac?
1292

Great job, kid.

Well you tell Riley to just stay
home and enjoy his newborn.

when you get back to the office?!

where you going in that old thing?

needed a lift to Williamsport.

up on my bus and we'll call it even.

It was a pleasure gentlemen.

Leaving so early,
Ms. Frankie?
1385
01:20:28,791 --> 01:20:31,335
Got a story to work on,
it's about Jim Crow and baseball.
1386
01:20:31,419 --> 01:20:33,295
That'll ruffle
a few feathers.
1387
01:20:33,379 --> 01:20:35,172
I bet the editors will have
something to say about that.
1388
01:20:35,256 --> 01:20:37,466
Already has.
I told him he prints this story,
1389
01:20:37,550 --> 01:20:39,343
or I'll see to it
somebody else does.
1390
01:20:39,427 --> 01:20:41,762
Good luck with that
story Miss Frankie.
1391
01:20:41,804 --> 01:20:46,558
Don't even say it.
1392
01:20:49,604 --> 01:20:53,023
Cesar, you should start Angel tomorrow.
He's the stronger pitcher.
1393
01:20:53,107 --> 01:20:54,983
Yeah, well it's
Enrique's turn.
1394
01:20:55,068 --> 01:20:57,778
Cesar, no foreign team has every made it to the finals.
1395
01:20:57,862 --> 01:20:59,863
If he wins,
they'll make history.
1396
01:20:59,948 --> 01:21:02,866
You'll be guaranteed a trophy.
Angel is your best chance.
1397
01:21:02,951 --> 01:21:07,037
Yeah, well,
we've been doing pretty good on this rotation. Thanks.
1398
01:21:07,121 --> 01:21:09,331

ourselves clear.

Why, Mr. Faz?
1404
01:21:29,227 --> 01:21:34,481
Well, no foreign team has ever made it to the final,
1405
01:21:34,565 --> 01:21:37,234
so I just, uh,
want to give it our...

was their coach,

I never would have
pitched Enrique today,
1528

meaning to ask,

01:30:52,206 --> 01:30:54,582
why the 108th Psalm?

1561

I...
1562
01:31:04,843 --> 01:31:09,055
Padre Esteban sent you boys a message
of encouragement. I got his words,
1563
01:31:09,139 --> 01:31:11,766
right here.
He wrote this in Louisville
1564
01:31:11,850 --> 01:31:16,145
and asked me to read it to you
all if you reached the finals,
1565
01:31:16,230 --> 01:31:19,774
so, here it goes.
Father Esteban here boys,
1566
01:31:19,858 --> 01:31:22,944
when you take to the field today,
think of Juan Diego,
1567
01:31:23,028 --> 01:31:25,613
and remember after the Bishop threatened him,
1568
01:31:25,698 --> 01:31:31,077
he ran away, lost his woman,
and hid in a bottle.
1569
01:31:31,161 --> 01:31:33,663
It was the bottom
of the ninth with two outs,
1570
01:31:33,747 --> 01:31:36,666
and even though Juan Diego tried to blame the ump,
1571
01:31:36,750 --> 01:31:39,627
and stall the big game,
he crossed that hill,
1572
01:31:39,712 --> 01:31:42,922
and scored the winning run.
Became a hero.
1573
01:31:43,007 --> 01:31:46,759
And like him, if you
keep your faith in God,
1574
01:31:46,802 --> 01:31:51,931
He will help you show La Mesa
what you all are made of.
1575
01:31:51,974 --> 01:31:54,767
How did Father know we were going to play La Mesa?
1576
01:31:59,148 --> 01:32:02,150
He's a man of God, stupid,
he knows!
1577
01:32:02,234 --> 01:32:04,944
He's a man of God.

he'll be the tallest pitcher Monterrey has ever seen.

winds up and delivers

capitalize on those chances yet.

Baltazar Charles.
