You're cheatin'.
17
00:03:22,816 --> 00:03:25,688
Girls don't know spit
about baseball.
18
00:03:25,688 --> 00:03:29,257
Crippled as you are, you can't
make no full body rotation.
19
00:03:32,173 --> 00:03:35,742
If you ain't cheatin',
then how did you--
20
00:03:35,742 --> 00:03:37,265
I just can.
21
00:03:44,141 --> 00:03:46,666
- That's a homer.
- Nuh-uh.
22
00:03:46,666 --> 00:03:48,581
Boy, I know what
a homer looks like.
23
00:03:48,581 --> 00:03:51,236
It don't count unless
you're battin' in the majors.
24
00:03:51,236 --> 00:03:55,327
Majors? Boy, you're never gonna
play one inning in the majors.
25
00:04:00,897 --> 00:04:02,551
Never say never.
26
00:04:05,641 --> 00:04:06,860
You really believe?
27
00:04:08,470 --> 00:04:10,951
- Cross your heart
and hope to die?
- That's a heathen vow.
28
00:04:20,656 --> 00:04:22,092
Still think I'm cheatin'?
29
00:04:22,092 --> 00:04:24,051
I think you're crazy.
30
00:04:25,574 --> 00:04:27,272
But you are my boyfriend.
31
00:04:28,795 --> 00:04:30,275
See you later, alligator.
32
00:04:35,062 --> 00:04:38,021
Don't even think
of gettin' sweet on her!
33
00:04:38,021 --> 00:04:39,588
She's Earl Shantz's.
34
00:04:39,588 --> 00:04:41,808
Man drinks like a steer
on a tank at noon,
35
00:04:41,808 --> 00:04:45,551
and is mean enough to steal the
pennies off a dead man's eyes.
36
00:04:45,551 --> 00:04:47,030
Connie?
37
00:04:47,857 --> 00:04:49,424
Come here.
38
00:04:52,862 --> 00:04:55,082
We don't speak ill
of our neighbors.
39
00:04:55,082 --> 00:04:57,127
I'm just looking out for Rickey.
40
00:04:57,127 --> 00:05:00,305
Well, Rickey's got to learn
to look out for himself.
41
00:05:00,305 --> 00:05:02,698
He's playing the game of love.
42
00:05:02,698 --> 00:05:07,355
And that's run by women
and lost by men.
43
00:05:09,139 --> 00:05:14,319
So I want you both to interpret
Ephesians 4:25 tonight.
44
00:05:14,319 --> 00:05:15,755
You know that?
45
00:05:15,755 --> 00:05:18,323
"Speak truth, each one of you,
with his neighbor,
46
00:05:18,323 --> 00:05:20,499
for we are members
of one another."
47
00:05:20,499 --> 00:05:21,630
That's real good.
48
00:05:22,762 --> 00:05:24,416
You go on and get in the car.
49
00:05:24,416 --> 00:05:27,767
Come on. Connie,
you can help me lock up, okay?
50
00:05:27,767 --> 00:05:29,159
How does he do that?
51
00:05:29,159 --> 00:05:31,988
Honey, Rickey's got a gift.
52
00:05:34,121 --> 00:05:40,649
♪ So I'll cherish

53
00:05:40,649 --> 00:05:43,304

58

♪ For a crown ♪
59
00:06:09,286 --> 00:06:12,594
"Give me a man that
we may fight together."
60
00:06:12,594 --> 00:06:17,425
- Amen.
- Those are the words of
the giant Philistine, Goliath,
61
00:06:17,425 --> 00:06:19,906
taunting the armies of Israel,
62
00:06:19,906 --> 00:06:23,779
and no one would come out
and fight him, no one but David.
63
00:06:23,779 --> 00:06:26,913
And how did David smite Goliath?
64
00:06:26,913 --> 00:06:29,045
- A stone!
- Amen, brother Hill.
65
00:06:29,045 --> 00:06:31,221
A stone!
66
00:06:31,221 --> 00:06:34,703
A stone, it says right here
in verse 41st Samuel.
67
00:06:34,703 --> 00:06:36,575
And so David stopped by a brook
68
00:06:36,575 --> 00:06:40,622
and chose him
five smooth stones.
69
00:06:40,622 --> 00:06:44,409
Well, why didn't David
gather the largest stone,
70
00:06:44,409 --> 00:06:46,454
or the most jagged stone?
71
00:06:46,454 --> 00:06:48,804
David knew jagged rocks
got a will of their own!
72
00:06:48,804 --> 00:06:52,417
Things can veer off and
shimmy all over creation.
73
00:06:52,417 --> 00:06:55,463
- He made a savvy bet!
- Savvy indeed.
74
00:06:55,463 --> 00:06:58,423
But maybe we ought to
let some other members
75
00:06:58,423 --> 00:07:01,251
of the congregation
voice their response.
76
00:07:01,251 --> 00:07:04,690
So, I say this:
what shapes a stone?
77
00:07:04,690 --> 00:07:07,649
God's water shapes a stone.
78
00:07:07,649 --> 00:07:11,305
And we, as Christians,
as children of God,
79
00:07:11,305 --> 00:07:13,307
we are being constantly shaped.
80
00:07:13,307 --> 00:07:16,658
And after we're baptized,
we are sent out into the world
81
00:07:16,658 --> 00:07:20,793
as His messengers,
and we fly straight and true
82
00:07:20,793 --> 00:07:25,624
- to the very snout of Satan,
so that we...
83
00:07:27,147 --> 00:07:31,673
...can fight our own Goliath,
and--
84
00:07:35,938 --> 00:07:39,159
You know, I myself
have been afraid to say this,
85
00:07:39,159 --> 00:07:40,682
but I'm just gonna say it.
86
00:07:41,683 --> 00:07:43,119
Sister Babbit.
87
00:07:43,119 --> 00:07:45,252
Brother Shantz...
88
00:07:45,252 --> 00:07:48,516
You uplift me with your presence
here today. You do.
89
00:07:48,516 --> 00:07:51,867
May I kindly ask you
to refrain from smoking
90
00:07:51,867 --> 00:07:56,872
and from chewing and dipping
during Sunday services?
91
00:07:56,872 --> 00:08:03,357
I work six days on a live well,
ready to burst into
fire and brimstone any time.
92
00:08:03,357 --> 00:08:06,360
Now, if you knew a thing
about wildcattin',
93
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,843
you'd appreciate that I get
exactly zero smoke breaks.
94
00:08:10,843 --> 00:08:15,151
But can't you see
how you and Sister Babbit
95
00:08:15,151 --> 00:08:18,198
are defiling
His glorious sanctuary
96
00:08:18,198 --> 00:08:20,243
with your spit
97
00:08:20,243 --> 00:08:23,856
and with your ashes
all over His floor?
98
00:08:23,856 --> 00:08:27,337
It's a weakness born of man.
99
00:08:30,210 --> 00:08:31,603
Oh, I see the weakness.
100
00:08:31,603 --> 00:08:34,301
High and mighty man
collects $50 a month
101
00:08:34,301 --> 00:08:36,433
to preach to some decent,
hardscrabble folk
102
00:08:36,433 --> 00:08:39,306
he's never even stepped off
the pulpit to get to know.
103
00:08:39,306 --> 00:08:41,134
We hardly got
a pleasure in life.
104
00:08:41,134 --> 00:08:46,052
I expect the Almighty can see
His way around our frailties.
105
00:08:46,052 --> 00:08:48,707
I am your pastor.
106
00:08:48,707 --> 00:08:52,058
So it is my place--
in fact, it's my duty--
107
00:08:52,058 --> 00:08:57,672
to preserve the sanctity
of God's house.
108
00:08:59,456 --> 00:09:02,590
Ain't about to allow
some holier-than-thou preacher
109
00:09:02,590 --> 00:09:06,246
to toss me a few crumbs
over a damn smoke!
110
00:09:06,246 --> 00:09:09,510
And I am not gonna
let the Lord's house
111
00:09:09,510 --> 00:09:13,253
look and smell
like Satan's saloon!
112
00:09:17,953 --> 00:09:18,954
Mrs. Babbit.
113
00:09:20,739 --> 00:09:23,132
Wouldn't they ask you to
pour oil on troubled waters?
114
00:09:23,132 --> 00:09:26,919
- Do you wanna clean tobacco
juice off the church floor?
- No.
115
00:09:26,919 --> 00:09:29,661
- I'm gonna... close up.
- Okay.
116
00:09:29,661 --> 00:09:32,402
- We missin' it?
- Not if we get there
in three minutes.
117
00:09:32,402 --> 00:09:34,361
Let's go!
118
00:09:34,361 --> 00:09:37,233
You're his wife. You should
talk some sense to him.
119
00:09:37,233 --> 00:09:38,757
I'm tryin', Mama.
120
00:09:43,022 --> 00:09:44,589
Where are them three off to?
121
00:09:45,938 --> 00:09:47,374
Oh...
122
00:09:48,201 --> 00:09:49,811
they're just being children.
123
00:10:09,657 --> 00:10:12,660
Seems unfair. We paid admission
for peace and quiet.
124
00:10:12,660 --> 00:10:16,446
They're the preacher's kids.
Ain't got a nickel
to rub together.
125
00:10:16,446 --> 00:10:18,927
Meanwhile,
Richardson scores.
126
00:10:18,927 --> 00:10:21,408
One strike on Mantle.
And there it goes,
127
00:10:21,408 --> 00:10:23,758
- over the right field fence.
128
00:10:26,543 --> 00:10:28,981
Gonna feel so charitable
when they bust your window?
129
00:10:34,421 --> 00:10:36,815
- That's gonna be you one day.
- Thanks.
130
00:10:41,515 --> 00:10:42,777
Come on!
131
00:10:44,387 --> 00:10:46,520
Doc says you get
those braces off next year.
132
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,044
They were supposed to
take them off last year.
133
00:11:03,929 --> 00:11:07,584
Bring it on. I'll knock it out
just like Mantle.
134
00:11:07,584 --> 00:11:10,544
Greetings out there in TV land!
135
00:11:10,544 --> 00:11:12,720
We're back at the 50-yard line.
136
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,462
- The what?
- Well, I hate baseball.
137
00:11:20,336 --> 00:11:22,643
Nobody takes it easy on you
in the majors.
138
00:11:25,428 --> 00:11:27,517
Put some fire on it.
139
00:11:29,911 --> 00:11:32,653
Koufax warms his arm here
at the Yankee Stadium.
140
00:11:32,653 --> 00:11:34,829
Tie game, bottom of the ninth.
141
00:11:34,829 --> 00:11:36,483
At bat, Rickey Hill.
142
00:11:36,483 --> 00:11:38,703
Koufax hurls a surprise slider.
143
00:11:38,703 --> 00:11:41,488
Hill swings,
swats a long fly ball!
144
00:11:41,488 --> 00:11:43,403
Might be... could be... it is!
145
00:11:43,403 --> 00:11:46,232
Hill's third moon shot tonight.
146
00:11:52,368 --> 00:11:53,892
The faster it comes in,
147
00:11:54,936 --> 00:11:56,721
the faster it goes out.
148
00:12:11,257 --> 00:12:13,999
Oh, my gosh! What did you do?
149
00:12:13,999 --> 00:12:15,696
Let's go!
150
00:12:17,437 --> 00:12:19,004
Let's get out of here!
151
00:12:20,527 --> 00:12:22,790
- What are you doing?
- What Daddy taught.
152
00:12:22,790 --> 00:12:26,620
Whatever you done,
take responsibility for it.
153
00:12:41,722 --> 00:12:43,463
You hit this rock?
154
00:12:43,463 --> 00:12:47,075
Sorry, Mister.
I'll get a job to pay for it.
155
00:12:47,075 --> 00:12:49,948
Now, hold up. You tellin' me...
156
00:12:49,948 --> 00:12:53,386
that you hit this rock
over them trees
157
00:12:53,386 --> 00:12:56,563
and into my windshield
with that lousy stick?
158
00:12:56,563 --> 00:12:58,783
That's a couple hundred feet, easy.
159
00:12:58,783 --> 00:13:00,480
And you done it
wearing them things?
160
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,482
Imagine that.
161
00:13:04,484 --> 00:13:05,920
You know what a prodigy is?
162
00:13:07,356 --> 00:13:10,316
- No, sir.
- Well, look it up.
163
00:13:10,316 --> 00:13:12,013
When you get
them legs healed up,
164
00:13:12,013 --> 00:13:14,668
I'm gonna be the first guy
at the gate to buy a ticket.
165
00:13:14,668 --> 00:13:17,192
- But I owe you.
- Forget the windshield.
166
00:13:17,192 --> 00:13:20,500
I got two yards across the state
full of more old windshields
167
00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:22,676
than I can ever pawn off
in a lifetime.
168
00:13:24,025 --> 00:13:25,113
But miracles...
169
00:13:26,332 --> 00:13:27,942
them I'm a little shy on.
170
00:13:29,335 --> 00:13:31,119
I want you to do it again.
171
00:13:31,119 --> 00:13:32,817
Show me.
172
00:13:35,254 --> 00:13:36,559
Now, go on.
173
00:13:56,666 --> 00:13:58,843
Well, I'll be.
174
00:13:58,843 --> 00:14:01,758
We receive your bounty, Lord,
175
00:14:01,758 --> 00:14:06,720
to better fortify our bodies and
minds so that we may serve you.
176
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,462
We pray in the name
of your son, Jesus.
177
00:14:09,462 --> 00:14:11,551
- Amen.
- Amen.
178
00:14:16,991 --> 00:14:21,213
It's a mite hard to muster
when He provideth so little.
179
00:14:21,213 --> 00:14:24,216
Y'all see Daddy peg down
that old crow Spit-And-Chew
this morning?
180
00:14:24,216 --> 00:14:27,262
Along with some
ticked-off church folk,
181
00:14:27,262 --> 00:14:32,050
grousin' how your daddy has
a bent for bitin' the hand
that barely feeds his family.
182
00:14:32,050 --> 00:14:33,747
Fifty dollars a month.
183
00:14:34,661 --> 00:14:36,141
Your children are starving.
184
00:14:36,141 --> 00:14:38,970
You know, sometimes,
Lilian, doing God's work
185
00:14:38,970 --> 00:14:41,537
takes the sacrifice
of the Apostles.
186
00:14:41,537 --> 00:14:43,800
None of the Apostles
had bad bones.
187
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,239
That's enough.
Do you hear me? Enough.
188
00:14:47,239 --> 00:14:49,894
You can shut me down.
189
00:14:49,894 --> 00:14:52,374
How you gonna quiet the voice
in your head,
190
00:14:52,374 --> 00:14:57,075
saying that you starved
that boy down to nothing
and put him in a wheelchair?
191
00:14:57,075 --> 00:14:59,512
Most devout man I know.
192
00:14:59,512 --> 00:15:01,340
Your eyes are so busy
studying heaven,
193
00:15:01,340 --> 00:15:04,212
you don't see the misery you're
putting your family through!
194
00:15:04,212 --> 00:15:08,173
I am not going to apologize
for my devotion to God.
195
00:15:08,173 --> 00:15:10,044
Mama, stop.
196
00:15:10,044 --> 00:15:12,873
You see that woman?
That's your daughter.
197
00:15:12,873 --> 00:15:16,572
She's got faith. You never
hear one complaint out of her.
198
00:15:16,572 --> 00:15:19,706
She's got faith. You...
199
00:15:19,706 --> 00:15:21,621
It's all I got.
200
00:15:22,622 --> 00:15:25,190
And it sustains me.
201
00:15:25,190 --> 00:15:27,018
But I live here on Earth.
202
00:15:27,018 --> 00:15:31,848
And your son needs doctorin',
and that takes money.
203
00:15:31,848 --> 00:15:34,286
You can see he's already
outgrown them braces.
204
00:15:34,286 --> 00:15:37,245
He ain't gonna get no better
without new ones.
205
00:15:38,159 --> 00:15:39,247
New ones?
206
00:15:42,816 --> 00:15:45,645
Rickey,
the doctor believes that...
207
00:15:45,645 --> 00:15:47,255
Can I be excused?
208
00:15:47,255 --> 00:15:48,778
Yes, son.
209
00:15:57,309 --> 00:15:58,963
You satisfied, Lilian?
210
00:16:00,051 --> 00:16:02,227
Here, son. Have my cornbread.
211
00:16:06,361 --> 00:16:07,972
"...very great."
212
00:16:11,105 --> 00:16:12,454
You know what?
213
00:16:12,454 --> 00:16:14,239
I got a little
something for you.
214
00:16:19,722 --> 00:16:23,248
- How'd you get these?
- Saved up.
Three months.
215
00:16:25,728 --> 00:16:27,208
- Mickey Mantle!
216
00:16:27,208 --> 00:16:28,862
What's going on in here?
217
00:16:30,255 --> 00:16:32,648
You're supposed to be
reading your Bible verses.
218
00:16:32,648 --> 00:16:33,998
Robert?
219
00:16:33,998 --> 00:16:36,870
What you hidin'?
Hand me your Bible.
220
00:16:37,740 --> 00:16:39,307
Hand me your Bible, Robert.
221
00:16:46,184 --> 00:16:47,533
Baseball cards.
222
00:16:47,533 --> 00:16:50,057
I don't approve of this.
223
00:16:50,057 --> 00:16:53,539
This sells the worship
of false idols.
224
00:16:53,539 --> 00:16:55,671
No. They-- they sell gum.
225
00:16:55,671 --> 00:16:57,195
You think I'm kidding?
226
00:16:57,195 --> 00:16:59,849
- Hmm? Is that what you think?
- N-No, sir.
227
00:16:59,849 --> 00:17:01,634
Robert, are these yours?
228
00:17:01,634 --> 00:17:03,201
Yes-- yes, sir.
229
00:17:03,201 --> 00:17:06,421
Robert, you are
your younger brother's keeper.
230
00:17:06,421 --> 00:17:11,209
And you are responsible
for what you put in his mind.
231
00:17:11,209 --> 00:17:12,819
You hear me?
232
00:17:12,819 --> 00:17:15,256
I know. It's just that...
233
00:17:15,256 --> 00:17:19,217
- Rickey loves baseball, and I--
- He's not
gonna play baseball.
234
00:17:22,307 --> 00:17:26,746
Rickey, now, I've seen you
out there behind the church,
swinging that stick.
235
00:17:26,746 --> 00:17:30,576
And you'd be out there
all day long if you could,
236
00:17:30,576 --> 00:17:32,230
even when you're suffering pain.
237
00:17:33,796 --> 00:17:35,494
But you can't play baseball.
238
00:17:35,494 --> 00:17:37,757
You can't even run.
239
00:17:37,757 --> 00:17:40,238
And if you try,
you're gonna get ridiculed,
240
00:17:40,238 --> 00:17:43,415
you're gonna get made fun of,
and you're gonna wind up
241
00:17:43,415 --> 00:17:46,244
with an injury that
you'll never get over.
242
00:17:47,288 --> 00:17:49,638
- My legs?
- No, son.
243
00:17:49,638 --> 00:17:51,597
I'm talking about your spirit.
244
00:17:51,597 --> 00:17:54,774
Now, listen. You're special.
245
00:17:54,774 --> 00:17:56,776
You got the heart of a lion.
246
00:17:56,776 --> 00:18:00,084
But you got the soul
of a tender lamb.
247
00:18:00,823 --> 00:18:04,262
And I wanna protect that.
248
00:18:04,262 --> 00:18:08,222
If you're not playing baseball,
you got your time all freed up
249
00:18:08,222 --> 00:18:13,967
to pursue a higher calling,
preaching God's word.
250
00:18:13,967 --> 00:18:16,883
Where your earthly legs
have failed you,
251
00:18:16,883 --> 00:18:20,756
God's gonna give you
wings to fly.
252
00:18:20,756 --> 00:18:23,063
You understand me,
don't you, son?
253
00:18:25,587 --> 00:18:26,849
That's my boy.
254
00:18:27,763 --> 00:18:29,025
Love you.
255
00:18:33,813 --> 00:18:36,511
Read your verses. I'm listening.
256
00:18:48,349 --> 00:18:53,049
"Those that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength."
257
00:18:53,049 --> 00:18:56,140
"They shall run
and not be weary."
258
00:19:22,078 --> 00:19:25,038
What's going on here, Earl?
259
00:19:25,038 --> 00:19:27,475
Seems like the flock
and the shepherd have...
260
00:19:28,607 --> 00:19:29,825
hit an impasse.
261
00:19:29,825 --> 00:19:32,001
Is that right?
262
00:19:32,001 --> 00:19:34,090
Some of us are
sure gonna miss you.
263
00:19:35,614 --> 00:19:38,878
- But we just got here.
- And we just kicked you out!
264
00:19:38,878 --> 00:19:41,315
Now, be quick.
We need that house back.
265
00:19:42,751 --> 00:19:44,536
Well, don't you worry.
266
00:19:46,059 --> 00:19:48,061
We don't stay
where we're not wanted.
267
00:19:48,931 --> 00:19:50,498
We'll be gone by morning.
268
00:19:55,938 --> 00:19:58,593
- Helen!
- You ought to be ashamed.
269
00:19:58,593 --> 00:20:01,205
Oh, shi-- Shoot.
270
00:20:01,205 --> 00:20:03,729
- Shoot.
- My husband is a fine man.
271
00:20:03,729 --> 00:20:06,210
He's good, righteous,
272
00:20:06,210 --> 00:20:09,909
and given his life and
happiness to serve the Lord.
273
00:20:09,909 --> 00:20:12,216
He placed you all
above his own children.
274
00:20:12,216 --> 00:20:15,001
How do you repay
such selfless devotion?
275
00:20:15,001 --> 00:20:16,872
You run him out
of his own church
276
00:20:16,872 --> 00:20:20,311
and put his kids on the street.
277
00:20:21,399 --> 00:20:22,791
Why?
278
00:20:22,791 --> 00:20:24,706
'Cause your pastor
asked you to behave
279
00:20:24,706 --> 00:20:28,754
like the God-fearing people
he believed you were?
280
00:20:28,754 --> 00:20:31,017
"Decent, hardscrabble folk."
281
00:20:31,757 --> 00:20:33,062
No.
282
00:20:35,064 --> 00:20:38,242
You do not deserve James Hill.
283
00:20:52,473 --> 00:20:55,259
- Helen, I--
- We're gonna be fine.
284
00:21:01,177 --> 00:21:03,136
I wish you were staying.
285
00:21:03,136 --> 00:21:05,617
I wish we weren't going.
286
00:21:05,617 --> 00:21:08,968
Am I ever gonna see
my only-ever boyfriend again?
287
00:21:10,665 --> 00:21:12,058
I don't know.
288
00:21:13,059 --> 00:21:14,626
I'll miss you.
289
00:21:14,626 --> 00:21:16,584
Later, gator.
290
00:22:02,282 --> 00:22:04,023
Is that Earl?
291
00:22:04,023 --> 00:22:06,242
He's drunk, Daddy.
292
00:22:06,242 --> 00:22:08,419
He's gonna
kill somebody.
293
00:22:14,425 --> 00:22:15,469
Earl.
294
00:22:16,688 --> 00:22:18,037
- Earl.
295
00:22:18,037 --> 00:22:20,909
You're drunk.
You shouldn't be driving.
296
00:22:20,909 --> 00:22:24,522
And you shouldn't be
acting like you still
got weight in this town.
297
00:22:25,958 --> 00:22:28,395
Don't let
the screen door hit ya!
298
00:22:34,575 --> 00:22:36,360
I can't let you drive.
299
00:22:36,360 --> 00:22:37,622
Rickey!
300
00:22:41,190 --> 00:22:44,063
Fine. Have it your way.
301
00:22:44,063 --> 00:22:46,457
He's just trying
to save your neck!
302
00:22:47,545 --> 00:22:48,981
My neck? My neck?
303
00:22:48,981 --> 00:22:50,286
Hey!
304
00:22:52,985 --> 00:22:54,726
Don't you touch my boy.
305
00:22:54,726 --> 00:22:56,554
You stay away from my kid.
306
00:23:03,909 --> 00:23:05,563
Daddy's a badass.
307
00:23:07,652 --> 00:23:09,131
Get in the car.
308
00:23:10,437 --> 00:23:12,744
What were you doing?
309
00:23:12,744 --> 00:23:14,659
Come on, Earl. Stand up.
310
00:23:16,051 --> 00:23:18,619
- You think you're
better than me?
- Nope.
311
00:23:18,619 --> 00:23:21,927
I'm sure you'd kick my butt if
you weren't so drunk. Watch it.
312
00:23:21,927 --> 00:23:25,060
You think you're better than me
'cause you can read that book.
313
00:23:25,060 --> 00:23:26,932
Just get in the house.
314
00:23:26,932 --> 00:23:29,369
Earl, get in the house.
315
00:23:37,116 --> 00:23:38,596
My fault.
316
00:23:40,989 --> 00:23:43,427
What were y'all
quarreling about?
317
00:23:43,427 --> 00:23:46,255
You.
318
00:23:46,255 --> 00:23:49,171
He's dangerous when
he gets like this.
319
00:23:49,171 --> 00:23:51,173
And he's like this
more and more.
320
00:23:51,173 --> 00:23:53,175
Thank you, Pastor.
321
00:23:54,786 --> 00:23:56,788
Just save it for Sheriff Dalton.
322
00:23:56,788 --> 00:24:00,922
I imagine he's gonna be
making a visit here shortly.
323
00:24:03,621 --> 00:24:04,796
Hey, Pastor.
324
00:24:06,667 --> 00:24:09,670
You gave it your best,
the only way you know.
325
00:24:09,670 --> 00:24:12,630
Won't a soul appreciate that
till you're gone.
326
00:24:12,630 --> 00:24:13,805
Thank you.
327
00:24:14,762 --> 00:24:16,155
God bless you.

You okay, Daddy?
345
00:27:04,149 --> 00:27:05,629
I'm just tired, son.
346
00:27:06,499 --> 00:27:08,632
- James.
347
00:27:10,198 --> 00:27:11,635
We're out of gas.
348
00:27:11,635 --> 00:27:13,854
All right, well,
someone's gonna come along.
349
00:27:13,854 --> 00:27:17,815
Let's just--
Meanwhile, let's, you know,
get the spare put on.
350
00:27:17,815 --> 00:27:19,338
We ain't got no spare.
351
00:27:19,338 --> 00:27:22,036
Daddy,
I patched it up yesterday.
352
00:27:22,036 --> 00:27:24,517
I traded it for gas last night.
353
00:27:28,303 --> 00:27:29,957
And you done right.
354
00:27:29,957 --> 00:27:34,440
That's how hardscrabble folk
get by, minute to minute.
355
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,139
Makin' tough calls
in a mean world.
356
00:27:38,139 --> 00:27:41,012
Doin' their damnedest.
Times come,
357
00:27:41,012 --> 00:27:44,929
it don't matter how well
you mean or how hard you try.
358
00:27:45,886 --> 00:27:47,148
It don't work.
359
00:27:47,148 --> 00:27:50,543
And that's no man's fault.
360
00:27:50,543 --> 00:27:52,937
Well, it can't get
much worse than this, huh?
361
00:28:04,949 --> 00:28:10,345
We gotta be
the unluckiest family
in all of Texas.
362
00:28:10,345 --> 00:28:12,739
Probably Oklahoma, too.
363
00:28:30,278 --> 00:28:33,760
Well, look at this.
364
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:38,504
Only the Master Painter could
paint a picture such as this.
365
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:45,729
Oh!
366
00:28:50,646 --> 00:28:52,387
Let's get in the car.
367
00:28:56,348 --> 00:28:59,612
- Come on, Rickey!
368
00:29:16,150 --> 00:29:18,239
Y'all need a ride?
369
00:29:18,239 --> 00:29:20,154
Yes!
370
00:29:20,154 --> 00:29:21,852
Well, come on!
371
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,191
I never seen one in color.
372
00:29:57,191 --> 00:29:59,541
Back up. You'll go blind.
373
00:30:04,503 --> 00:30:06,113
Fine ice cream, Miss Flora.
374
00:30:06,113 --> 00:30:09,421
- Pleased you're
enjoying it, sir.
-"Sir"?
375
00:30:09,421 --> 00:30:14,295
If she knew you--
If you knew Rickey,
you wouldn't call him "sir."
376
00:30:14,295 --> 00:30:17,168
Oh, I expect I know him.
377
00:30:17,168 --> 00:30:18,909
If you say so.
378
00:30:21,215 --> 00:30:24,392
Mrs. Linda,
you sure have a beautiful home.
379
00:30:24,392 --> 00:30:26,568
It's brought us a lot of joy.
380
00:30:26,568 --> 00:30:28,396
I need to get you more to eat.
381
00:30:28,396 --> 00:30:31,008
Oh. No, no.
382
00:30:31,008 --> 00:30:34,185
If I had another bite,
I think I'd bust a gut.
383
00:30:34,185 --> 00:30:35,839
- Thank you.
384
00:30:35,839 --> 00:30:38,363
I don't know how we'll ever
thank you for your help.
385
00:30:38,363 --> 00:30:40,539
We sure needed it.
386
00:30:40,539 --> 00:30:42,846
Well, now,
there-- there might be a way.
387
00:30:42,846 --> 00:30:45,892
But this j-- I don't know.
This job, it's just
probably beneath
388
00:30:45,892 --> 00:30:48,895
a man of your education
and experience.
389
00:30:48,895 --> 00:30:51,202
Oh, no. No.
No, you'd be surprised.
390
00:30:51,202 --> 00:30:55,728
My brother Dennis
over Bowie City way
tells me First Baptist
391
00:30:55,728 --> 00:30:59,384
been looking for a new pastor
goin' on a year now.
392
00:30:59,384 --> 00:31:01,429
But, uh, no takers.
393
00:31:01,429 --> 00:31:04,650
- Well, that's a crying shame.
- Well, you ain't
seen Bowie City.
394
00:31:04,650 --> 00:31:07,000
"One-horse town"
is overselling it.
395
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,089
It ain't got a window
to throw it out of.
396
00:31:10,308 --> 00:31:12,179
But they're good people.
397
00:31:12,179 --> 00:31:14,486
There's a rectory.
398
00:31:14,486 --> 00:31:17,402
A mite modest. I suppose
it ain't for you, but--
399
00:31:17,402 --> 00:31:18,882
- We'll take it.
- Yes, we will.
400
00:31:18,882 --> 00:31:21,710
- Mm-hmm.
- Brother Josh...
401
00:31:21,710 --> 00:31:25,584
it was not by accident
that you found us on the road.
402
00:31:25,584 --> 00:31:29,501
When the good Lord shuts
a door, he opens a window.
403
00:31:29,501 --> 00:31:34,723
- But don't y'all wanna
hear more about this--
- Only amen. Can I get an amen?
404
00:31:34,723 --> 00:31:37,465
- Amen!
405
00:31:37,465 --> 00:31:40,599
Roger, and lift-off.
406
00:31:40,599 --> 00:31:43,080
And the clock is operating.
Sigma Seven...
407
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:44,908
Lift-off!
408
00:31:46,605 --> 00:31:48,433
Th-- those kids.
409
00:31:48,433 --> 00:31:51,175
They get really excited.
410
00:31:58,051 --> 00:31:59,357
There!
411
00:31:59,357 --> 00:32:01,881
- Where?
- There!
412
00:32:03,883 --> 00:32:06,320
Mission Control
reports that the craft
413
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,976
has left Earth's atmosphere,
as we get closer and closer.
414
00:32:09,976 --> 00:32:13,284
As man again sails the heavens.
415
00:32:16,156 --> 00:32:17,244
I see it!
416
00:32:18,158 --> 00:32:19,246
Big as day!
417
00:32:24,164 --> 00:32:25,687
Let's head inside.
418
00:32:29,822 --> 00:32:31,128
You comin', Daddy?
419
00:32:33,173 --> 00:32:35,741
Oh, you go ahead, son.
420
00:32:35,741 --> 00:32:38,396
I'm gonna visit a spell
with the heaven I know.
421
00:33:01,071 --> 00:33:03,638
Howdy, Pastor.
How you doin'?
422
00:33:03,638 --> 00:33:05,379
Welcome to home, sweet home.
423
00:33:05,379 --> 00:33:07,468
Try "dump, sweet dump."
424
00:33:07,468 --> 00:33:09,079
- Ow!
- James Hill.
425
00:33:09,079 --> 00:33:11,646
Nice to meet you.
Brother's told me all about you.
426
00:33:11,646 --> 00:33:13,605
Yeah, your brother
was real nice to us.
427
00:33:13,605 --> 00:33:15,520
- Dennis, right?
- That's right.
428
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,739
Appealing to the eye she ain't,
429
00:33:17,739 --> 00:33:20,786
but come monsoons,
tornadoes, and flash floods,
430
00:33:20,786 --> 00:33:22,788
she'll leave you high and dry.
431
00:33:22,788 --> 00:33:24,746
I'm already feelin' just that.
432
00:33:24,746 --> 00:33:27,619
- What's that?
- Used to be a mortuary.
433
00:33:27,619 --> 00:33:31,536
Wait till you see the church.
You're gonna love the church.
434
00:33:31,536 --> 00:33:33,103
Where's the church?
435
00:33:33,103 --> 00:33:35,192
The church is just
on down the road here.
436
00:33:35,192 --> 00:33:39,326
Y'all wanna go see the church
first or go inside?
437
00:33:41,111 --> 00:33:43,113
I guess we're gonna
see the church first.
438
00:33:43,113 --> 00:33:45,115
- They're gonna love the church.
- Yeah.
439
00:33:50,250 --> 00:33:51,991
Here she is!
440
00:33:56,126 --> 00:33:58,519
Now y'all see what I was sayin'?
441
00:33:58,519 --> 00:33:59,999
Plenty of room.
442
00:34:01,435 --> 00:34:04,873
It's got... possibilities.
443
00:34:04,873 --> 00:34:07,050
I love it in here!
444
00:34:08,834 --> 00:34:10,575
I can run in here!
445
00:34:10,575 --> 00:34:12,968
Boy's got a heck
of a lot of energy.
446
00:34:15,623 --> 00:34:18,322
Yeah,
and a mind to confound Solomon.
447
00:34:20,846 --> 00:34:22,761

00:35:03,715 --> 00:35:05,543
We're just gettin' started.
461
00:35:16,423 --> 00:35:17,946
You need two more?
462
00:35:17,946 --> 00:35:20,471
- Him and who else?
- I'll hit off him.
463
00:35:20,471 --> 00:35:22,429
With all that crap on your legs?
464
00:35:22,429 --> 00:35:26,607
My dad is a pastor, and he calls
them "corrective restraints."
465
00:35:26,607 --> 00:35:28,305
Hey!
Don't get all Bible camp on me.
466
00:35:28,305 --> 00:35:30,655
I ain't playin' with
no-- no robot boy.
467
00:35:30,655 --> 00:35:34,180
- Put the non-gimp in left.
- He don't play, I don't play.
468
00:35:34,180 --> 00:35:37,314
Oh, yeah. Like you're
first-round draft material.
469
00:35:37,314 --> 00:35:41,970
- Who do I brush back next?
470
00:35:42,971 --> 00:35:44,190
Come on.
471
00:35:44,973 --> 00:35:47,019
Hey, flamethrower.
472
00:35:47,019 --> 00:35:48,934
I hit off you, we both play.
473
00:35:48,934 --> 00:35:51,328
And it's gotta
clear the infield.
474
00:35:53,417 --> 00:35:56,333
Nobody's ever pitched to you
with the heat he brings.
475
00:35:56,333 --> 00:35:58,422
Whiff in front of
these townies, and...
476
00:35:58,422 --> 00:36:01,338
they'll never let you
forget it, much less play.
477
00:36:01,338 --> 00:36:03,949
I ain't gonna whiff.
478
00:36:03,949 --> 00:36:07,039
Hey, robo boy.
Where do we bury you?
479
00:36:07,039 --> 00:36:09,172
The cemetery or the junkyard?
480
00:36:12,610 --> 00:36:14,089
Three swings.
481
00:36:14,089 --> 00:36:16,918
Hey, whatever. You ain't
even gonna see the ball.
482
00:36:22,054 --> 00:36:24,012
Y'all best stay in the outfield.
483
00:36:24,012 --> 00:36:25,971
Boy, you got no idea.
484
00:36:25,971 --> 00:36:27,538
It's Rickey Hill.
485
00:36:28,669 --> 00:36:30,367
Rickey Hill.
486
00:36:30,367 --> 00:36:34,022
You got a lot of guts,
but not so many smarts.
487
00:36:34,022 --> 00:36:36,373
Guys with legs that work
can't hit him.
488
00:36:38,070 --> 00:36:39,898
Don't say I didn't warn you.
489
00:36:39,898 --> 00:36:41,900
You ready, robot boy?
490
00:36:44,119 --> 00:36:45,991
Little late on that one.
491
00:36:45,991 --> 00:36:49,647
Robot boy! Gonna keep whiffin',
or are you quittin'?
492
00:36:49,647 --> 00:36:51,170
- Start hittin'.
493
00:36:51,170 --> 00:36:54,086
Oh-ho-ho! Oh, robot boy's
gonna start hittin'.
494
00:36:54,086 --> 00:36:56,219
All right, jelly legs, come on.
495
00:37:02,747 --> 00:37:04,662
Hey, RB!
Quit while you're behind.
496
00:37:04,662 --> 00:37:07,273
- All right, enough!
- Come on,
before you get really hurt.
497
00:37:07,273 --> 00:37:10,102
- Three strikes.
- So he can kill you?
498
00:37:11,799 --> 00:37:13,497
I stay down here, I'm dead.
499
00:37:21,766 --> 00:37:23,246
Better bring a quicker bat.
500
00:37:32,429 --> 00:37:33,517
What are you doing?
501
00:37:33,517 --> 00:37:35,258
Look at robot boy.
502
00:37:35,258 --> 00:37:38,478
Full... body... rotation!
503
00:37:55,103 --> 00:37:57,018
Folks gotta do
what they gotta do.
504
00:38:01,022 --> 00:38:03,547
How do you know
you can do it, Rickey?
505
00:38:05,723 --> 00:38:07,420
I just know it.
506
00:38:09,988 --> 00:38:12,033
All right, fun's over.
507
00:38:12,033 --> 00:38:15,298
Time to say night-night
and bye-bye to robot boy.
508
00:38:32,445 --> 00:38:34,186
- You done it!
- Wow!
509
00:38:36,797 --> 00:38:39,365
- You hit!
- That don't count!
510
00:38:39,365 --> 00:38:42,673
Screw you guys. I ain't playin'
with no-- no cripple kid.
511
00:38:42,673 --> 00:38:45,153
- We made a deal.
- I made no such thing.
512
00:38:45,153 --> 00:38:47,025
Liar!
I seen you nod your head!
513
00:38:47,025 --> 00:38:50,681
Nobody calls me a liar,
robot boy.
514
00:38:50,681 --> 00:38:52,683
Aw, you think you can stomp me?
515
00:38:54,554 --> 00:38:57,209
- He already did.
- Hey, stop it!
516
00:38:57,209 --> 00:38:59,516
Coach says one more fight
and you're done!
517
00:39:02,954 --> 00:39:04,434
Damn you!
518
00:39:05,957 --> 00:39:07,611
You white trash no-'counts.
519
00:39:09,047 --> 00:39:11,005
Not worth it anyway.
520
00:39:13,094 --> 00:39:15,706
Come on.
There ain't no game for us here.
521
00:39:15,706 --> 00:39:17,011
But I hit off of him.
522
00:39:17,011 --> 00:39:18,970
That's what counts.
523
00:39:18,970 --> 00:39:21,146
Goodbye, Rickey Hill.
524
00:39:23,757 --> 00:39:26,673
Okay.
525
00:39:26,673 --> 00:39:29,676
Anybody else wanna say grace?
526
00:39:34,812 --> 00:39:38,598
Is there some kind of revelation
that I'm not aware of?
527
00:39:46,824 --> 00:39:48,434
Oh, my God.
528
00:39:53,221 --> 00:39:55,528
- Is there pain?
- Not a lick.
529
00:39:57,965 --> 00:40:00,272
How?
530
00:40:00,272 --> 00:40:04,798
Well, sir,
it seems one of my braces--
531
00:40:04,798 --> 00:40:07,235
the left one, I think--
532
00:40:07,235 --> 00:40:09,542
well, it broke first, so--
533
00:40:09,542 --> 00:40:12,197
So you had to take the other one
off to walk, right?
534
00:40:12,197 --> 00:40:15,113
- Yes.
- Right?
535
00:40:15,113 --> 00:40:16,593
Thank you, Lord.
536
00:40:19,770 --> 00:40:21,815
Well, show me. Just...
537
00:40:28,300 --> 00:40:30,781
Okay, everybody up.
We're going for ice cream.
538
00:40:30,781 --> 00:40:33,523
- And we're gonna walk.
- James, we can't afford it.
539
00:40:33,523 --> 00:40:36,874
You just keep that
ice cream man busy,
and I'm gonna steal us a gallon.
540
00:40:36,874 --> 00:40:40,094
- Oh, no, you won't.
- Oh, yes, I will!
I'm feelin' adventurous.
541
00:40:40,094 --> 00:40:42,357
He's not gonna steal a thing.
542
00:40:42,357 --> 00:40:44,708
It ain't curin' polio, boys.
543
00:40:44,708 --> 00:40:50,061
All it takes to be on my team
is, A, attend practice
every day, 4:00 to 6:00.
544
00:40:50,061 --> 00:40:53,804
B, be prepared to
work your hind ends off.
545
00:40:53,804 --> 00:40:57,677
And C, cut the crap
and swing the bat,
'cause I ain't your mama.
546
00:40:57,677 --> 00:41:00,985
Now, if I catch any one of
y'all half-assing out there,
547
00:41:00,985 --> 00:41:03,335
I'll boot your whole ass
off my field.
548
00:41:03,335 --> 00:41:05,598
Now, if you ain't turned
one of these in yet,
549
00:41:05,598 --> 00:41:08,993
I need your folks' John Hancock
on one of these
permission slips.
550
00:41:08,993 --> 00:41:14,172
Come on. Bring it back to me
3:00 p.m. Tuesday, signed.
551
00:41:16,566 --> 00:41:17,610
All right?
552
00:41:20,265 --> 00:41:22,659
Oh, now, son.
553
00:41:22,659 --> 00:41:26,097
It mayn't be your doin',
but you're already half-assin'.
554
00:41:26,097 --> 00:41:28,491
Or making sacrifices.
555
00:41:29,927 --> 00:41:31,842
Well spoke.
556
00:41:31,842 --> 00:41:33,800
I'll give you through tryouts.
557
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:37,500
Hey! But you better
bring me some magic.
558
00:41:39,763 --> 00:41:42,505
Think Mom will sign this
without telling Daddy?
559
00:41:43,897 --> 00:41:45,812
Even if she did, he'd find out.
560
00:41:58,216 --> 00:42:00,261
How's my little lion?
561
00:42:02,089 --> 00:42:05,702
What's on your mind? You got
something behind your back.
562
00:42:16,887 --> 00:42:18,845
Why don't you calm your mind?
563
00:42:18,845 --> 00:42:22,414
Let's hear Psalm 23.
564
00:42:22,414 --> 00:42:25,983
-"The Lord is my shepherd--"
- More conviction.
565
00:42:27,245 --> 00:42:29,726
"I shall not want."
566
00:42:29,726 --> 00:42:33,164
Daddy...
I know what you're gonna say.
567
00:42:33,164 --> 00:42:35,514
But I'm better.
568
00:42:37,037 --> 00:42:38,604
Son...
569
00:42:38,604 --> 00:42:41,781
you might be better,
but you are not healed.
570
00:42:43,217 --> 00:42:44,784
Your bones...
571
00:42:46,046 --> 00:42:47,570
they're green.
572
00:42:48,832 --> 00:42:50,398
They're like twigs.
573
00:42:50,398 --> 00:42:54,185
Daddy, all I wanna do is play.
574
00:42:54,185 --> 00:42:57,884
You will not play.
575
00:42:58,885 --> 00:42:59,930
Ever.
576
00:43:01,496 --> 00:43:05,109
Now, you might think that
your affliction is an injustice,
577
00:43:05,109 --> 00:43:08,025
but God has a plan for you.
578
00:43:08,025 --> 00:43:14,597
It's a sign.
It's a sign of something greater
that you are supposed to become.
579
00:43:21,386 --> 00:43:23,040
What is important?
580
00:43:24,128 --> 00:43:26,304
Many things are important.
581
00:43:27,044 --> 00:43:29,481
But what is vital?
582
00:43:30,961 --> 00:43:35,705
One practice: doing God's work.
583
00:43:35,705 --> 00:43:41,798
I want you to seek out
every opportunity that you have
to serve Him.
584
00:43:41,798 --> 00:43:45,715
And the next time that
you even consider sinning,
585
00:43:45,715 --> 00:43:48,631
I want you to ask yourself
this question:
586
00:43:49,588 --> 00:43:53,113
how will God judge me?
587
00:43:53,113 --> 00:43:57,901
The Holy Spirit sees all,
588
00:43:57,901 --> 00:43:59,554
knows all,
589
00:43:59,554 --> 00:44:02,601
punishes every misdeed.
590
00:44:07,911 --> 00:44:11,392
So let us ask God
591
00:44:12,219 --> 00:44:15,527
for a sin-free week.
592
00:44:22,577 --> 00:44:25,102
This place is worse
than the last.
593
00:44:25,102 --> 00:44:27,365
See that man smoking?
594
00:44:27,365 --> 00:44:29,323
Why didn't Daddy
put a stop to that?
595
00:44:29,323 --> 00:44:32,762
To grow his flock, your father
must endure a few black sheep.
596
00:44:32,762 --> 00:44:34,981
- Have a great day.
- You too.
597
00:44:34,981 --> 00:44:36,679
This came for you.
598
00:44:38,593 --> 00:44:42,162
- Must be from Gracie!
- No way.
599
00:44:42,162 --> 00:44:45,383
Yeah, he pocketed it so quick,
I thought his hand was on fire.
600
00:44:45,383 --> 00:44:47,690
Nah. Just his heart.
601
00:44:54,218 --> 00:44:56,960
I'm gonna go... stretch my legs.
602
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:00,224
Daddy finds out you've been
swatting that baseball
on the Sabbath...
603
00:45:00,224 --> 00:45:01,486
I'm just gonna watch.
604
00:45:02,269 --> 00:45:03,575
You?
605
00:45:05,229 --> 00:45:06,883
Come on.
606
00:45:09,755 --> 00:45:13,846
♪ You belong to me
Why can't you see ♪
607
00:45:13,846 --> 00:45:17,371
One Blast-Off Burger,
one order of fries,
and one Coke.
608
00:45:17,371 --> 00:45:20,157
75 cents,
and that's what I got.
609
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:25,249
One Blast-Off Burger,
610
00:45:25,249 --> 00:45:27,904
one order of fries,
and one Coke?
611
00:45:27,904 --> 00:45:30,515
That ain't nearly enough
to feed all three of you kids.
612
00:45:30,515 --> 00:45:32,256
We just
need the one order.
613
00:45:32,256 --> 00:45:33,692
I tried to tell him,
614
00:45:33,692 --> 00:45:36,477
but he just came in here
like a crazy man.
615
00:45:36,477 --> 00:45:39,785
Well... he counted too quick.
616
00:45:39,785 --> 00:45:42,005
We're just a quarter short, actually.
617
00:45:43,136 --> 00:45:45,878
Well, I ain't so hot at numbers.
618
00:45:45,878 --> 00:45:47,967
I'll come back
when I get the rest.
619
00:45:47,967 --> 00:45:52,711
Wait. It just so happens...
I have a quarter.
620
00:45:52,711 --> 00:45:55,801
- Okay,
I've got 'em closed.
- Keep 'em closed.
621
00:45:55,801 --> 00:45:59,370
I will, I will. I've never
been more in the dark.
622
00:45:59,370 --> 00:46:01,981
Here,
bring him this way.
623
00:46:01,981 --> 00:46:03,591
- Oh!
624
00:46:03,591 --> 00:46:06,507
Well, I guess I'm going to
sit down, is that right?
625
00:46:10,860 --> 00:46:13,645
We all know turkey's
your favorite, but...
626
00:46:13,645 --> 00:46:16,604
but we wanted to get
something special instead.
627
00:46:16,604 --> 00:46:18,389
Can I open my eyes?
628
00:46:18,389 --> 00:46:19,825
Yep.
629
00:46:23,394 --> 00:46:26,745
Why, it's my second favorite.
630
00:46:27,746 --> 00:46:29,879
And a more thoughtful gift, I--
631
00:46:31,968 --> 00:46:33,491
I can't remember.
632
00:46:33,491 --> 00:46:36,755
You take care of us
all year, so, uh...
633
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,193
today we wanna take care of you.
634
00:46:40,193 --> 00:46:44,067
The most beautiful gift
I have ever been blessed with
635
00:46:45,242 --> 00:46:47,505
is not this delicious burger.
636
00:46:49,376 --> 00:46:54,338
It's the joy of sharing it
with all of you.
637
00:46:54,338 --> 00:46:56,862
You're my beautiful family.
638
00:46:56,862 --> 00:46:59,038
We ain't hungry.
639
00:46:59,038 --> 00:47:00,823
Stuffed.
640
00:47:00,823 --> 00:47:01,911
Slimming.
641
00:47:03,434 --> 00:47:05,175
All us girls are.
642
00:47:08,178 --> 00:47:09,744
Well, I'm starvin'.
643
00:47:15,315 --> 00:47:16,360
Mmm!
644
00:47:22,279 --> 00:47:26,718
"Me and my mama are
heading to Oklahoma City
to live with my grandfolks.
645
00:47:26,718 --> 00:47:29,460
Hey, has anyone in
your new town figured out
646
00:47:29,460 --> 00:47:31,157
how you're cheatin'
at batting yet?
647
00:47:31,157 --> 00:47:34,639
Heh. Truly,
I hope you're still swingin'
648
00:47:34,639 --> 00:47:36,510
no matter how your legs are.
649
00:47:36,510 --> 00:47:38,948
Knowing you, I bet you
a Buffalo nickel
650
00:47:38,948 --> 00:47:41,037
you're still dreamin'
of the majors.
651
00:47:41,037 --> 00:47:43,517
Me,
I've run clean out of dreams.
652
00:47:43,517 --> 00:47:47,695
I guess it's up to you to make
one come true for both of us.
653
00:47:47,695 --> 00:47:50,220
If anyone can, it's you.
654
00:47:50,220 --> 00:47:52,875
you're still my boyfriend!"
655
00:48:01,448 --> 00:48:03,233
Since when ain't you tryin' out?
656
00:48:03,233 --> 00:48:06,410
Since my daddy refused to sign.
657
00:48:06,410 --> 00:48:10,762
Check out Coach Don.
He look like he's up all night
verifying signatures?
658
00:48:10,762 --> 00:48:14,244
Hold up. You're sayin'...
659
00:48:14,244 --> 00:48:16,072
Fake Daddy's signature?
660
00:48:16,072 --> 00:48:19,597
Yep. Seems like the real sin
is stopping you from playin'.
661
00:48:19,597 --> 00:48:21,033
Jason's right.
662
00:48:22,208 --> 00:48:23,906
Plus...
663
00:48:23,906 --> 00:48:27,039
I don't know a soul who's
owed this shot more than you.
664
00:48:29,607 --> 00:48:30,913
Give it to me.
665
00:48:33,959 --> 00:48:36,048
Hope the good Lord
sees it that way.
666
00:48:46,232 --> 00:48:47,973
Oh. Evening, ma'am.
667
00:48:47,973 --> 00:48:50,758
Uh, Don Fisher,
youth baseball coach.
668
00:48:50,758 --> 00:48:55,807
Oh. I'm sorry, our boys
aren't allowed to play.
669
00:48:55,807 --> 00:48:58,766
Uh, better iron that out
with your husband, ma'am.
670
00:48:58,766 --> 00:49:01,117
He-- he signed
Rickey's permission slip.
671
00:49:01,117 --> 00:49:04,990
- Oh, um, come in.
- Oh, uh... ah!
672
00:49:04,990 --> 00:49:07,036
- Who, by the way,
673
00:49:07,036 --> 00:49:09,952
is knocking the tar out
of anything we throw at him.
674
00:49:09,952 --> 00:49:12,955
What is this?
I didn't sign nothin'.
675
00:49:17,611 --> 00:49:20,310
That's not my handwriting.
That's forgery.
676
00:49:20,310 --> 00:49:22,051
Well...
677
00:49:22,051 --> 00:49:24,140
you know boys.
678
00:49:24,140 --> 00:49:28,013
Anyhoo, he-- he is
one heck of a hitter.
679
00:49:28,013 --> 00:49:32,365
The only way I can figure
how your boy can
possibly hit the ball
680
00:49:32,365 --> 00:49:35,368
as far and as hard as he can...
681
00:49:36,369 --> 00:49:38,589
the Lord give him a gift.
682
00:49:38,589 --> 00:49:40,460
Well, he's not gonna be playing.
683
00:49:40,460 --> 00:49:43,420
- You ain't gonna let him play?
- Nope.
684
00:49:43,420 --> 00:49:47,163
Look, I've pastored 13 years
up in the Panhandle,
685
00:49:47,163 --> 00:49:50,688
and I know good and well
what a miracle looks like.
686
00:49:51,558 --> 00:49:53,169
And Rickey is one.
687
00:49:54,648 --> 00:49:56,911
So my counsel to you, Pastor,
688
00:49:56,911 --> 00:49:59,871
is figure out why
you're so hellbent on
689
00:49:59,871 --> 00:50:03,005
crushing the boy's soul
and squandering his blessing.
690
00:50:03,875 --> 00:50:06,095
God bless you. Amen, good night.
691
00:50:16,409 --> 00:50:17,715
Rickey?
692
00:50:18,542 --> 00:50:19,847
Rickey!
693
00:50:27,507 --> 00:50:28,682
I done it.
694
00:50:28,682 --> 00:50:30,728
He's covering for me.
695
00:50:31,990 --> 00:50:34,036
I-- I said for him to play,
696
00:50:35,298 --> 00:50:36,908
and doctored the slip.
697
00:50:36,908 --> 00:50:40,216
He was just trying to help me
do the one thing I love.
698
00:50:40,216 --> 00:50:41,913
The one thing you love?
699
00:50:42,783 --> 00:50:44,307
That's the truth.
700
00:50:44,307 --> 00:50:48,398
It ain't about me
swinging a stick to hit a stone.
701
00:50:48,398 --> 00:50:51,705
When I swing that bat,
I ain't crippled no more.
702
00:50:51,705 --> 00:50:54,230
I am David taking down Goliath.
703
00:50:54,230 --> 00:50:57,276
Everybody can see how much
this means to me but you, Daddy.
704
00:50:57,276 --> 00:51:01,672
- Don't you backtalk me, boy.
- Don't you dare
run that child down!
705
00:51:01,672 --> 00:51:03,543
Give him his say.
He's earned it.
706
00:51:03,543 --> 00:51:06,459
You stay out of this.
This ain't none of
your business.
707
00:51:06,459 --> 00:51:08,940
My business is the family
708
00:51:08,940 --> 00:51:10,811
that you've turned into sheep.
709
00:51:10,811 --> 00:51:12,900
Helen and the kids,
they love you so much,
710
00:51:12,900 --> 00:51:16,948
they let you just suck
all the joy out of their lives.
711
00:51:16,948 --> 00:51:19,690
I'm too old and mean
to stand by another minute
712
00:51:19,690 --> 00:51:21,822
while you make
your misery theirs.
713
00:51:21,822 --> 00:51:26,479
"To seek out the one true
calling God has placed us
on Earth to answer
714
00:51:26,479 --> 00:51:30,614
is no less than our duty to
fulfill it with pure devotion,
715
00:51:30,614 --> 00:51:32,311
no less than
our divine destiny."
716
00:51:32,311 --> 00:51:34,139
Yeah, see right there?
717
00:51:34,139 --> 00:51:37,969
Even a blind man could tell
you're born to be a preacher.
718
00:51:37,969 --> 00:51:40,624
You said those words.
That's your sermon.
719
00:51:40,624 --> 00:51:43,192
Are those words the truth?
720
00:51:46,499 --> 00:51:49,372
You think baseball is your duty?
721
00:51:49,372 --> 00:51:51,113
Ever since I can remember.
722
00:51:51,113 --> 00:51:53,898
So much you'd lie about it?
723
00:51:53,898 --> 00:51:57,380
See that? That's a lie.
724
00:51:58,642 --> 00:52:00,470
Now,
I'm gonna give you a choice.
725
00:52:02,341 --> 00:52:04,126
God's will...
726
00:52:05,518 --> 00:52:06,519
or your will.
727
00:52:14,919 --> 00:52:17,313
- Robert...
728
00:52:17,313 --> 00:52:19,358
...you lied.
729
00:52:19,358 --> 00:52:21,491
You deceived.
730
00:52:21,491 --> 00:52:22,970
You misguided your brother.
731
00:52:22,970 --> 00:52:25,016
Now, we got rules in this house.
732
00:52:26,409 --> 00:52:28,846
And you know there's
consequences to those rules.
733
00:52:28,846 --> 00:52:30,587
Yes, sir.
734
00:52:30,587 --> 00:52:32,328
Get out back.
735
00:52:33,329 --> 00:52:35,418
And I mean now.
736
00:52:35,418 --> 00:52:37,507
Daddy, it should be me!
737
00:52:41,772 --> 00:52:43,034
Robert.
738
00:52:46,907 --> 00:52:48,735
You deceived me.
739
00:52:48,735 --> 00:52:50,955
I can't tell you how that hurts.
740
00:52:52,696 --> 00:52:54,872
And you know I love you.
741
00:52:54,872 --> 00:52:57,527
This is about saving your soul.
742
00:52:57,527 --> 00:52:59,355
You ain't gonna save me.
743
00:53:01,487 --> 00:53:03,185
You can beat me all night.
744
00:53:05,752 --> 00:53:07,363
It ain't gonna change Rickey.
745
00:53:08,929 --> 00:53:11,193
Rickey's confused.
746
00:53:11,193 --> 00:53:13,195
He's lost.
747
00:53:13,195 --> 00:53:15,371
He ain't the one who's lost.
748
00:53:16,589 --> 00:53:17,938
What's he doin'?
749
00:53:23,727 --> 00:53:25,032
Growing up.
750
00:53:26,425 --> 00:53:27,600
You turn around.
751
00:53:53,235 --> 00:53:54,236
Go inside.
752
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:58,718
- I said go inside.
- Daddy?
753
00:53:58,718 --> 00:54:00,372
Just leave me be. Go inside.
754
00:54:34,798 --> 00:54:36,495
It ain't fair.
755
00:54:36,495 --> 00:54:39,846
I can't go this entire summer
without playing baseball.
756
00:54:39,846 --> 00:54:44,373
Well, till you can find
a way to preach and play
at the same time...
757
00:54:45,983 --> 00:54:47,289
you're benched.
758
00:54:57,951 --> 00:54:59,039
Son.
759
00:55:00,998 --> 00:55:04,131
You know you're not
supposed to interrupt me
when I'm writing my sermon.
760
00:55:05,785 --> 00:55:07,047
Yes, sir.
761
00:55:08,919 --> 00:55:13,315
I came here to ask you
what to do when I need to
tell you something.
762
00:55:15,534 --> 00:55:16,796
Now.
763
00:55:21,975 --> 00:55:23,629
All right.
764
00:55:24,587 --> 00:55:26,110
Say your piece.
765
00:55:30,506 --> 00:55:34,336
Last night,
you gave me a choice.
766
00:55:34,336 --> 00:55:37,339
And I've been thinking
real hard on it.
767
00:55:38,731 --> 00:55:41,343
You're right. God is number one.
768
00:55:41,343 --> 00:55:44,911
He has, is, and always will be.
769
00:55:44,911 --> 00:55:47,349
And like you've preached
so many times,
770
00:55:48,132 --> 00:55:49,829
God don't make mistakes.
771
00:55:49,829 --> 00:55:51,135
Amen.
772
00:55:53,572 --> 00:55:58,708
I feel His perfection guiding me
when I swing that bat.
773
00:55:58,708 --> 00:56:04,061
I bear witness to His power
when the ball sails over
the backfield fence.
774
00:56:04,061 --> 00:56:07,891
I'm not following your logic.
What?
775
00:56:07,891 --> 00:56:09,240
'Cause I ain't done.
776
00:56:11,764 --> 00:56:13,200
I choose both.
777
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:18,467
You choose God and baseball?
778
00:56:18,467 --> 00:56:20,164
Only answer.
779
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:25,299
In His perfection,
He handed me two gifts:
780
00:56:25,299 --> 00:56:29,434
preaching with fire, and playing
by the power of His hand.
781
00:56:29,434 --> 00:56:32,611
"Each blessing to His glory.
782
00:56:34,570 --> 00:56:39,052
I can do all things through
Christ who strengthens me."
783
00:56:39,052 --> 00:56:42,099
Philippians 4:13.
784
00:56:53,023 --> 00:56:54,503
What is that?
785
00:57:16,089 --> 00:57:18,788
Thank you for
all you taught me, Daddy.
786
00:57:46,163 --> 00:57:48,252
Now batting for the Buffaloes,
787
00:57:48,252 --> 00:57:52,082
center fielder,
number 17, Rickey Hill!
788
00:57:52,082 --> 00:57:53,823
- Rickey!
- Rickey!
789
00:58:04,964 --> 00:58:09,839
- And gone!
790
00:58:09,839 --> 00:58:14,757
- Ladies and gentlemen,
the 1973 season opener ends
791
00:58:14,757 --> 00:58:16,933
with another
game-winning home run
792
00:58:16,933 --> 00:58:20,676
from Buffaloes senior sensation,
Rickey Hill!
793
00:58:20,676 --> 00:58:24,027
- That's our brother!
- Oh, man, you're flyin'!
794
00:58:24,027 --> 00:58:25,942
- There you go, Rickey!
- Rickey!
795
00:58:25,942 --> 00:58:27,596
- Come on!
796
00:58:31,034 --> 00:58:33,384
You set him up so good.
797
00:58:33,384 --> 00:58:35,517
Laid off the slider
the whole game...
798
00:58:35,517 --> 00:58:37,823
I almost got caught
with my foot in the bucket.
799
00:58:37,823 --> 00:58:40,739
Oh, man.
800
00:58:40,739 --> 00:58:42,524
All right, I'm gonna git.
801
00:58:42,524 --> 00:58:45,048
Um, see you Monday
after practice.
802
00:58:45,048 --> 00:58:48,007
- Yeah.
- All right. We got some
work to do on that old car.
803
00:58:48,007 --> 00:58:49,661
- I'll be there.
- Well, have fun tonight.
804
00:58:49,661 --> 00:58:51,707
- All right. Night.
- Good to see you, buddy.
805
00:58:51,707 --> 00:58:55,014
Four for four. Again.
Officially battin' above 400.
806
00:58:55,014 --> 00:58:56,712
Sure he ain't cheatin'?
807
00:58:58,278 --> 00:59:00,890
Girls don't know spit
about baseball.
808
00:59:00,890 --> 00:59:02,500
No, I see it.
809
00:59:02,500 --> 00:59:05,764
Finally got full body rotation.
810
00:59:05,764 --> 00:59:06,939
Found your power.
811
00:59:06,939 --> 00:59:08,506
Well?
812
00:59:10,073 --> 00:59:11,378
Did you miss me?
813
00:59:11,378 --> 00:59:13,816
Now, I only want the truth.
814
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:18,560
Gracie?
815
00:59:19,822 --> 00:59:22,912
- Last I heard, you--
- Well, I came back.
816
00:59:22,912 --> 00:59:24,870
To see an old friend.
817
00:59:25,915 --> 00:59:27,394
Me?
818
00:59:27,394 --> 00:59:29,875
Still know how to charm a girl.
819
00:59:29,875 --> 00:59:32,356
I been tracking your career.
820
00:59:32,356 --> 00:59:35,228
We've gotta go... fix something.
821
00:59:35,228 --> 00:59:37,100
Fix somethin'!
822
00:59:37,100 --> 00:59:40,756
Oh! Yeah, we-- Okay. We can go.
823
00:59:40,756 --> 00:59:42,584
You sure showed me.
824
00:59:44,498 --> 00:59:47,676
- I talk big.
- You believe big.
825
00:59:47,676 --> 00:59:50,896
Me? I couldn't see past
getting out of that house.
826
00:59:52,985 --> 00:59:55,466
How long you gonna be in town?
827
00:59:56,249 --> 00:59:57,860
I don't know.
828
00:59:57,860 --> 00:59:59,383
A few days.
829
00:59:59,383 --> 01:00:01,385
Baby, is it always this hot?
830
01:00:01,385 --> 01:00:03,082
- Uh...
- I need a drink.
831
01:00:03,082 --> 01:00:05,824
Ned, this is my friend, Rickey.
832
01:00:05,824 --> 01:00:09,654
The Rickey? The Rickey Hill,
the batting phenom?
833
01:00:09,654 --> 01:00:12,352
You know what?
I actually owe you a thank-you.
834
01:00:12,352 --> 01:00:14,354
For what, exactly?
835
01:00:14,354 --> 01:00:17,401
I backed him.
Fifty bucks, running 5:1.
836
01:00:17,401 --> 01:00:19,969
You paid out like a Vegas slot,
my friend.
837
01:00:19,969 --> 01:00:23,059
Well,
when he's not being crude,
Ned's a sports writer.
838
01:00:23,059 --> 01:00:25,278
Eastern Chronicle. I edit him.
839
01:00:25,278 --> 01:00:27,324
Thought you two should meet.
840
01:00:27,324 --> 01:00:29,021
Your mom invited us to supper.
841
01:00:29,021 --> 01:00:31,415
Cool.
842
01:00:31,415 --> 01:00:35,549
Well, he'd just hit four homers
in this one game.
843
01:00:35,549 --> 01:00:38,378
You a good, clean sports writer,
are ya?
844
01:00:38,378 --> 01:00:41,947
Oh. Uh, well,
I'd like to think so.
845
01:00:41,947 --> 01:00:44,167
Punchy. Not windy,
846
01:00:44,167 --> 01:00:48,214
in the way that
McCormack blowhard goes on.
You know him?
847
01:00:48,214 --> 01:00:52,131
I am that McCormack... blowhard.
848
01:00:52,131 --> 01:00:54,743
- Well, then,
849
01:00:54,743 --> 01:00:58,224
you have something more to chew
on than gamblin' and drinkin'.
850
01:01:00,052 --> 01:01:03,012
Is that that little seedlin'
that got planted so long ago?
851
01:01:03,012 --> 01:01:07,059
Gracie, you done bloomed
into a beautiful rose, girl.
852
01:01:07,059 --> 01:01:10,019
Come here and hug my neck.
Oh, oh!
853
01:01:13,370 --> 01:01:17,243
Are you gonna come
celebrate Sunday services
with us tomorrow?
854
01:01:17,243 --> 01:01:19,419
- I'd love to.
- It would make me so happy.
855
01:01:19,419 --> 01:01:22,118
Well, hon, I mean,
slugger's got his game tomorrow.
856
01:01:22,118 --> 01:01:26,470
Ned McCormack, by the way.
So nice to meet you.
Thanks for having us over.
857
01:01:26,470 --> 01:01:29,865
I love everything you've done
with the... everything.
858
01:01:29,865 --> 01:01:32,432
Don't tell me you people
don't play on Sundays.
859
01:01:32,432 --> 01:01:37,046
Well, his father failed
to lead him to a higher path.
860
01:01:37,046 --> 01:01:40,353
Higher path.
861
01:01:40,353 --> 01:01:42,573
I'm sorry,
I don't mean any disrespect,
862
01:01:42,573 --> 01:01:44,662
but, I mean,
certainly you can see,
863
01:01:44,662 --> 01:01:47,447
whenever he plays,
he's a-- he's a phenom.
864
01:01:48,492 --> 01:01:50,494
I've never seen him play.
865
01:01:51,930 --> 01:01:53,410
You never seen him play?
866
01:01:55,151 --> 01:01:56,456
No.
867
01:01:57,936 --> 01:02:01,505
Well... uh,
I'm gonna get washed up.
868
01:02:02,767 --> 01:02:05,422
Be right back.
Good to see you, Gracie.
869
01:02:07,380 --> 01:02:08,817
I'll be there.
870
01:02:17,086 --> 01:02:18,522
Great game today.
871
01:02:19,958 --> 01:02:22,831
Did your... guy leave?
872
01:02:24,223 --> 01:02:25,921
Ned is not my guy.
873
01:02:25,921 --> 01:02:28,706
I realized that at dinner
last night and broke it off.
874
01:02:28,706 --> 01:02:31,535
He took it like a gentleman,
then fired me.
875
01:02:31,535 --> 01:02:34,494
Oh! Well...
876
01:02:34,494 --> 01:02:35,931
you're smart.
877
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:38,803
I bet something finds you.
878
01:02:38,803 --> 01:02:41,501
If that optimism
comes in bottles,
879
01:02:41,501 --> 01:02:43,547
I'll take a whole case.
880
01:02:45,592 --> 01:02:47,377
You wanna know what a dork I am?
881
01:02:47,377 --> 01:02:48,682
It's not apparent.
882
01:02:48,682 --> 01:02:50,597
- Fill me in.
883
01:02:50,597 --> 01:02:54,601
Every stinkin' letter you wrote
since you were nine,
884
01:02:54,601 --> 01:02:58,170
- I kept.
- Lord!
885
01:02:58,170 --> 01:02:59,781
Did they fill a whole tub?
886
01:03:01,391 --> 01:03:02,653
No.
887
01:03:04,046 --> 01:03:05,221
We're both dorks, then.
888
01:03:06,483 --> 01:03:08,006
You kept mine?
889
01:03:08,006 --> 01:03:10,139
Both of 'em.
890
01:03:10,139 --> 01:03:13,142
I'm not much of a writer.
891
01:03:14,578 --> 01:03:16,623
Was that why you stopped?
892
01:03:17,363 --> 01:03:18,669
No.
893
01:03:21,324 --> 01:03:24,675
Your career was taking off and
I figured you forgot about me.
894
01:03:26,155 --> 01:03:27,765
Not for one day.
895
01:03:33,510 --> 01:03:37,122
Rickey, that's twice now!
What is going on?
896
01:03:37,122 --> 01:03:38,994
I just...
897
01:03:38,994 --> 01:03:41,300
I get sore from hittin'.
898
01:03:41,300 --> 01:03:43,476
That ain't sore. That's agony.
899
01:03:43,476 --> 01:03:44,782
How long?
900
01:03:45,565 --> 01:03:47,306
My whole life.
901
01:03:47,306 --> 01:03:50,135
- What do your doctors say?
- Nothin'.
902
01:03:50,135 --> 01:03:53,530
I see a doctor, they're just
gonna tell me to stop.
903
01:03:57,099 --> 01:04:00,015
I'm sick of it.
I'm sick and tired
904
01:04:00,015 --> 01:04:01,973
of all these other
high school players
905
01:04:01,973 --> 01:04:05,324
who got scouts out
watchin' 'em, and...
906
01:04:05,324 --> 01:04:08,937
and here you are, the hardest
damn hitter I ever seen,
907
01:04:08,937 --> 01:04:10,199
and nothin'.
908
01:04:10,199 --> 01:04:11,983
And the clock is tickin'.
909
01:04:11,983 --> 01:04:14,725
In four months,
you're graduatin' high school,
910
01:04:14,725 --> 01:04:18,468
and right now is when all
the scouts are snatching up
all the good ones,
911
01:04:18,468 --> 01:04:21,340
and, son,
you're better than good.
912
01:04:21,340 --> 01:04:23,386
Do you wanna play in the majors?
913
01:04:23,386 --> 01:04:24,866
That's all I want.
914
01:04:26,432 --> 01:04:28,782
- But Ray...
- But jack squat.
915
01:04:31,568 --> 01:04:33,875
After all the hell
you been through,
916
01:04:33,875 --> 01:04:36,747
I'm not about to
let you lose hope now.
917
01:04:36,747 --> 01:04:38,575
We're going straight to the top.
918
01:04:38,575 --> 01:04:41,578
I'm not talkin' about
just anybody.
919
01:04:41,578 --> 01:04:45,799
- I'm callin' Mike Toliver.
- Who's Mike Toliver?
920
01:04:45,799 --> 01:04:48,324
Mike Toliver's one of the
best scouts in the business.
921
01:04:48,324 --> 01:04:51,544
And I'm gonna get him to come to
one of your high school games.
922
01:04:56,767 --> 01:04:59,726
- Hey. Good to see you.
- Good to see you.
923
01:04:59,726 --> 01:05:02,729
- Who's he talking to?
- It's one of them scouts.
924
01:05:02,729 --> 01:05:04,993
- Really?
- That wasn't bad at all.
925
01:05:04,993 --> 01:05:08,083
- Good.
- Gonna be worth it. I'm looking
forward to seeing Rickey.
926
01:05:08,083 --> 01:05:10,259
He's something else.
Thank you, Mr. Toliver.
927
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:15,612
Robot boy.
Looks like we're gonna
finally finish what we started.
928
01:05:15,612 --> 01:05:17,483
Don't worry. I'll make it quick.
929
01:05:17,483 --> 01:05:20,486
Wouldn't wanna see you suffer
in front of all of these folks.
930
01:05:20,486 --> 01:05:23,663
Well,
there they are, folks,
the Bowie City Buffaloes.
931
01:05:23,663 --> 01:05:26,710
This should be some
regional matchup tonight,
932
01:05:26,710 --> 01:05:30,540
as Bowie faces county rivals,
the Wildcats.
933
01:05:33,238 --> 01:05:34,718
I got it!
934
01:05:44,249 --> 01:05:47,470
Scouting report said that kid's
bat speed's off the chart.
935
01:05:47,470 --> 01:05:49,428
Didn't say nothin'
about that arm.
936
01:05:54,694 --> 01:05:56,827
Strike three! Batter's out!
937
01:05:56,827 --> 01:05:59,525
Now batting
cleanup for the Buffaloes...
938
01:05:59,525 --> 01:06:01,266
You reckon they'll pitch to him?
939
01:06:01,266 --> 01:06:03,877
- ...one-man hitting machine...
- Well, it's on the line,
940
01:06:03,877 --> 01:06:06,706
tying run on second. Would you?
941
01:06:06,706 --> 01:06:08,752
...Rickey Hill!
942
01:06:08,752 --> 01:06:11,189
Nowhere to hide now, robot boy.
943
01:06:21,547 --> 01:06:23,332
I'm not walkin' him again.
944
01:06:25,247 --> 01:06:29,120
Ends right here, tonight.
945
01:06:44,701 --> 01:06:46,007
Strike!
946
01:06:50,663 --> 01:06:52,404
Come on, Rickey!
947
01:07:17,386 --> 01:07:19,910
- Rickey!
- Come on! Whoo!
948
01:07:19,910 --> 01:07:22,217
- Yeah!
949
01:07:24,784 --> 01:07:27,222
That looked so good!
950
01:07:34,098 --> 01:07:36,231
The faster it comes in,
the faster it goes out.
951
01:07:49,635 --> 01:07:50,941
I got it!
952
01:07:55,598 --> 01:07:57,817
Ow!
953
01:08:02,126 --> 01:08:05,825
- Rickey?
954
01:08:05,825 --> 01:08:07,610
- Don't move.
955
01:08:07,610 --> 01:08:09,090
I-- I can finish.
956
01:08:12,789 --> 01:08:14,443
I stepped on somethin'.
957
01:08:18,316 --> 01:08:19,361
Sprinkler head.
958
01:08:28,413 --> 01:08:30,763
Fracture's bad...
959
01:08:30,763 --> 01:08:32,809
but the least of my worries.
960
01:08:32,809 --> 01:08:34,376
These ligament bands,
961
01:08:34,376 --> 01:08:38,467
they hold the joint together,
but, Rickey...
962
01:08:39,990 --> 01:08:41,818
they're torn to bits.
963
01:08:41,818 --> 01:08:44,951
They can't connect your ankle
to your calf bone.
964
01:08:44,951 --> 01:08:47,824
And these two peroneal tendons?
965
01:08:47,824 --> 01:08:51,001
They're not torn.
They're completely severed.
966
01:08:51,001 --> 01:08:53,873
All right, well,
how long before I can play?
967
01:08:53,873 --> 01:08:58,269
Son...
it'll be a miracle if
you ever walk again.
968
01:09:00,010 --> 01:09:02,273
I'd like to attempt
to save the ankle.
969
01:09:02,273 --> 01:09:03,840
Attempt?
970
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:06,582
Pastor,
the only guarantee I can offer,
971
01:09:06,582 --> 01:09:11,021
multiple surgeries
broken up with long,
excruciating recoveries.
972
01:09:13,763 --> 01:09:15,243
Well, how much?
973
01:09:16,374 --> 01:09:18,202
$7,000, probably more.
974
01:09:18,202 --> 01:09:20,509
And then there's
the other condition.
975
01:09:20,509 --> 01:09:23,338
Other condition?
976
01:09:23,338 --> 01:09:26,515
Advanced degenerative
spinal disease.
977
01:09:26,515 --> 01:09:30,693
Rickey, your bones are
rapidly depleting protein,
978
01:09:30,693 --> 01:09:34,044
causing your spine
to age prematurely.
979
01:09:34,740 --> 01:09:37,047
How prematurely?
980
01:09:37,047 --> 01:09:40,398
Your son has the spine
of a 60-year-old man,
981
01:09:40,398 --> 01:09:43,227
and there's nothing
I can do to reverse that.
982
01:10:01,114 --> 01:10:02,986
Let me get that for you.
983
01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:13,953
My heart breaks for you, Rickey.
984
01:10:14,954 --> 01:10:17,261
Even as my faith sustains me.
985
01:10:18,958 --> 01:10:22,266
Next you're gonna tell me
it was God's will.
986
01:10:22,266 --> 01:10:25,226
Shred my ankle,
twist up my spine.
987
01:10:25,226 --> 01:10:28,185
Why, Dad? What, he wants me
to suffer my whole life,
988
01:10:28,185 --> 01:10:30,796
same as it started,
a pitiful cripple?
989
01:10:30,796 --> 01:10:34,583
Don't you talk
about yourself that way.
I won't hear it, you hear me?
990
01:10:34,583 --> 01:10:36,759
You're being tested, son.
991
01:10:36,759 --> 01:10:40,197
You're being tested,
sorely tested,
992
01:10:40,197 --> 01:10:42,982
and you got to
hang on to your faith,
993
01:10:42,982 --> 01:10:45,985
because that's all
we got in this world.
994
01:10:45,985 --> 01:10:49,946
Now, baseball,
it had to end eventually.
995
01:10:49,946 --> 01:10:53,384
And if I'm gonna get bad news,
I'd rather get it
sooner than later,
996
01:10:53,384 --> 01:10:57,780
so having it taken away from you
while you're still young...
997
01:10:57,780 --> 01:10:59,738
now, maybe that's a good thing.
998
01:10:59,738 --> 01:11:04,308
It-- it gives you time
999
01:11:04,308 --> 01:11:08,225
to figure out what you're gonna
do with the rest of your life.
1000
01:11:09,835 --> 01:11:13,448
First time you ever talk to me
like a real old man...
1001
01:11:15,537 --> 01:11:18,453
is to say "forget the only thing
you ever cared for"?
1002
01:11:19,671 --> 01:11:20,846
No.
1003
01:11:22,979 --> 01:11:26,287
No, that's not
what I'm sayin', Rickey.
1004
01:11:28,593 --> 01:11:31,727
When you were ten, you said
you were going to majors
1005
01:11:31,727 --> 01:11:33,119
and you had no idea how.
1006
01:11:33,990 --> 01:11:36,209
You did everything you could,
1007
01:11:36,209 --> 01:11:39,865
and the rest you took on faith.
1008
01:11:39,865 --> 01:11:41,693
Yeah, and look where it got me.
1009
01:11:42,738 --> 01:11:44,566
Same crap, different day.
1010
01:11:46,045 --> 01:11:47,873
Rickey,
we're gonna raise that money.
1011
01:11:47,873 --> 01:11:49,832
All $7,000 of it.
1012
01:11:49,832 --> 01:11:52,095
It might as well be ten million.
1013
01:11:52,095 --> 01:11:55,664
Maybe Ned will kick in,
write a story.
1014
01:11:55,664 --> 01:11:58,536
Yeah, "How I helped the gimp
and won the girl."
1015
01:11:59,711 --> 01:12:02,061
Gotta admit, it makes sense.
1016
01:12:04,716 --> 01:12:07,415
Boys don't know spit about love.
1017
01:12:11,027 --> 01:12:13,029
Why'd you come back here?
1018
01:12:15,597 --> 01:12:18,687
Something got torn out of me
when I was just a little girl.
1019
01:12:18,687 --> 01:12:20,689
It left a hole in my soul.
1020
01:12:22,386 --> 01:12:25,607
No matter what I tried
or-- or who I met,
1021
01:12:27,522 --> 01:12:28,740
it never healed.
1022
01:12:32,091 --> 01:12:35,617
A few months back,
I was on my last nerve.
1023
01:12:36,966 --> 01:12:39,360
I truly was lost.
1024
01:12:40,448 --> 01:12:42,058
What saved ya?
1025
01:12:42,928 --> 01:12:45,191
I remembered my first boyfriend.
1026
01:12:51,546 --> 01:12:54,897
Wouldn't it be something
if he ended up being your last?
1027
01:12:54,897 --> 01:13:00,206
Now, if that's a proposal,
you're gonna have to do a whole
lot better than that.
1028
01:13:00,206 --> 01:13:02,295
- What, that wasn't good?
- No.
1029
01:13:03,079 --> 01:13:05,429
But I'll take it. Go on.
1030
01:14:30,514 --> 01:14:32,516
Hey, how's
Operation Rickey Hill going?
1031
01:14:32,516 --> 01:14:34,823
Nine weeks,
we're up about $2,000.
1032
01:14:34,823 --> 01:14:38,304
Well, I'll tell you what.
I got a brand-new 50 here
1033
01:14:38,304 --> 01:14:42,483
that says that you'll
hit the entire jackpot
right on up to tryouts.
1034
01:14:42,483 --> 01:14:45,486
So you just keep swingin', slugger.
1035
01:14:45,486 --> 01:14:47,270
We're all countin' on ya.
1036
01:14:47,270 --> 01:14:48,793
Thank you, sir.
1037
01:14:52,493 --> 01:14:54,756
We're never
gonna make it in time.
1038
01:15:14,776 --> 01:15:15,864
Gram.
1039
01:15:16,865 --> 01:15:19,128
Ladies. Miss Helen.
1040
01:15:19,128 --> 01:15:22,087
Rickey. You seen this?
1041
01:15:22,087 --> 01:15:24,220
Top of the sports page.
1042
01:15:24,220 --> 01:15:28,050
"A co-op of four baseball teams
will be holding
major league tryouts
1043
01:15:28,050 --> 01:15:30,182
at Rockwood Park Field
in Brenham.
1044
01:15:30,182 --> 01:15:35,492
The scouting staffs will
evaluate qualified players
over a two-day period."
1045
01:15:36,754 --> 01:15:38,321
That's two months away.
1046
01:15:38,321 --> 01:15:41,411
It'll be tough,
but you can recover.
1047
01:15:41,411 --> 01:15:44,327
- Recover from what?
- Surgery.
1048
01:15:44,327 --> 01:15:50,072
- The sooner we get you in there,
we can get--
- Ray, Ray, we-- we tried.
1049
01:15:50,072 --> 01:15:53,379
It's over,
and we didn't raise the money.
1050
01:15:53,379 --> 01:15:57,035
Money, money, money.
The root of all evil.
1051
01:15:57,035 --> 01:15:59,864
Well, not always.
1052
01:15:59,864 --> 01:16:03,607
- What are you doin'?
- Seems obvious enough.
1053
01:16:03,607 --> 01:16:07,480
- Ray, I can't take it.
- Who's giving it?
1054
01:16:07,480 --> 01:16:10,832
This is a loan
against future earnings.
1055
01:16:10,832 --> 01:16:13,225
- At the scrapyard?
- The scrapyard?
1056
01:16:13,225 --> 01:16:15,445
On what I pay you?
1057
01:16:15,445 --> 01:16:19,449
Son, you'd die broke
at that scrapyard.
1058
01:16:19,449 --> 01:16:21,712
Gracie,
how much are y'all short?
1059
01:16:21,712 --> 01:16:24,715
Actually,
better I don't know the amount.
1060
01:16:24,715 --> 01:16:25,760
Ray.
1061
01:16:27,326 --> 01:16:30,286
- Pastor.
- My son is not gonna be
1062
01:16:30,286 --> 01:16:32,462
trying out for
professional baseball.
1063
01:16:32,462 --> 01:16:36,161
No, he is gonna try out.
The boy's been trying out
for professional baseball
1064
01:16:36,161 --> 01:16:39,861
since he was nine years old
and busted a hole in
my windshield over there.
1065
01:16:39,861 --> 01:16:43,560
I don't need you comin'
around here, filling him
full of false hope...
1066
01:16:44,343 --> 01:16:45,954
and puttin' him into debt.
1067
01:16:45,954 --> 01:16:48,434
Pastor... I'm beggin' you.
1068
01:16:50,523 --> 01:16:55,224
Give that boy
one solitary chance
1069
01:16:55,224 --> 01:16:58,488
to show the right people
what he was born to do.
1070
01:16:58,488 --> 01:17:02,231
You're gonna paralyze him.
That's what you're gonna do.
1071
01:17:02,231 --> 01:17:04,973
Now, he's my son, not yours.
1072
01:17:04,973 --> 01:17:07,279
I know him better than you do.
1073
01:17:07,279 --> 01:17:10,369
And you heard him.
We don't need your money.
1074
01:17:10,369 --> 01:17:13,982
Now, I think it's about time
you stopped meddling
in this family's affairs
1075
01:17:13,982 --> 01:17:17,507
and get in your truck
and get on down the road.
1076
01:17:17,507 --> 01:17:19,552
- That tears it!
1077
01:17:20,510 --> 01:17:22,077
Bring that check yonder.
1078
01:17:22,077 --> 01:17:23,948
Lilian!
1079
01:17:31,216 --> 01:17:33,697
"Pay the sum of..." Gracie?
1080
01:17:33,697 --> 01:17:37,658
- $4,652.
- What?
1081
01:17:46,971 --> 01:17:49,452
You're a good man, Raymond.
1082
01:17:49,452 --> 01:17:52,020
Even if you're
a bit of a heathen.
1083
01:17:53,935 --> 01:17:55,501
Thank you.
1084
01:18:24,052 --> 01:18:26,881
I believe you are an angel.
1085
01:18:26,881 --> 01:18:29,753
That's sweet,
but that's the morphine talkin'.
1086
01:18:29,753 --> 01:18:32,974
The truth's the truth.
1087
01:18:32,974 --> 01:18:34,453
What about me?
1088
01:18:34,453 --> 01:18:36,064
You're still my angel, Mama.
1089
01:18:36,064 --> 01:18:39,937
Mmm? Just as good-lookin'
as this sweet girl?
1090
01:18:39,937 --> 01:18:42,200
- You could be twins.
- Oh.
1091
01:18:42,200 --> 01:18:43,549
Uh...
1092
01:18:46,291 --> 01:18:47,728
How come you look worried?
1093
01:18:47,728 --> 01:18:49,860
I mean,
even more worried than usual.
1094
01:18:49,860 --> 01:18:52,558
The damage was worse
than we expected.
1095
01:18:52,558 --> 01:18:55,518
We're still hopeful
for a full recovery,
1096
01:18:55,518 --> 01:18:57,650
but it's gonna take some time.
1097
01:18:57,650 --> 01:19:00,131
Tryouts are in seven weeks.
1098
01:19:00,131 --> 01:19:02,046
Not for you.
1099
01:19:02,046 --> 01:19:03,569
I'm sorry.
1100
01:20:24,520 --> 01:20:26,914
Hey, mister?
1101
01:20:26,914 --> 01:20:30,700
For a guy who can hardly walk,
you sure can hit.
1102
01:20:30,700 --> 01:20:33,790
- You like baseball?
- Love it.
1103
01:20:39,274 --> 01:20:40,623
Keep at it.
1104
01:20:42,059 --> 01:20:43,191
You might have a chance.
1105
01:20:56,682 --> 01:20:58,859
Hey, what is your rush?
1106
01:21:00,425 --> 01:21:02,210
I wanna take you someplace nice.
1107
01:21:03,211 --> 01:21:04,865
Talk about the future.
1108
01:21:04,865 --> 01:21:08,129
Well...
if we're gonna talk about us,
1109
01:21:08,129 --> 01:21:10,131
we should probably be us.
1110
01:21:10,131 --> 01:21:11,784
Come on.
1111
01:21:21,272 --> 01:21:23,492
It's so cold tonight.
1112
01:21:23,492 --> 01:21:27,278
We'll be eating better
when I start earning
some serious money.
1113
01:21:27,278 --> 01:21:29,063
Not on a rookie's salary.
1114
01:21:32,544 --> 01:21:33,806
Gracie...
1115
01:21:37,462 --> 01:21:39,247
it's all stacked against me.
1116
01:21:39,247 --> 01:21:40,901
Too risky.
1117
01:21:41,989 --> 01:21:43,294
You're quittin'?
1118
01:21:43,294 --> 01:21:46,384
Stuck in a chair,
a bed for life?
1119
01:21:46,384 --> 01:21:49,822
- I wouldn't be any good to you.
- Don't you make this about me.
1120
01:21:51,389 --> 01:21:53,783
I'm scared.
1121
01:21:53,783 --> 01:21:56,481
I grew up in shackles.
I don't chance going back.
1122
01:21:56,481 --> 01:22:00,485
I was raised by a man
who gave up.
1123
01:22:00,485 --> 01:22:01,791
He lost hope.
1124
01:22:01,791 --> 01:22:04,707
And I saw what that did to him.
1125
01:22:04,707 --> 01:22:07,101
Now, if you don't try,
1126
01:22:07,101 --> 01:22:09,277
you're gonna die inside.
1127
01:22:09,277 --> 01:22:12,236
And that's the one thing
I won't stick around to watch.
1128
01:22:13,498 --> 01:22:15,196
Now, I want my dreamer back.
1129
01:22:15,196 --> 01:22:19,113
I need him.
I'm gonna take my chances.
1130
01:22:20,157 --> 01:22:21,289
I can't.
1131
01:22:23,682 --> 01:22:25,336
Rickey...
1132
01:22:55,845 --> 01:22:57,107
Come on.
1133
01:22:58,326 --> 01:22:59,762
Come on, get in!
1134
01:22:59,762 --> 01:23:02,504
What's got you so spooked?
1135
01:23:02,504 --> 01:23:06,421
Come on.
1136
01:23:13,558 --> 01:23:15,256
That my slugger?
1137
01:23:19,390 --> 01:23:22,959
- You're gon-- You're gonna
come through this, Gram. You--
- Hush.
1138
01:23:22,959 --> 01:23:25,483
You know doctors and
their doom and their gloom.
1139
01:23:25,483 --> 01:23:27,529
Shush, shush, shush, shush.
1140
01:23:27,529 --> 01:23:30,184
I'm going on to His glory.
1141
01:23:36,755 --> 01:23:38,192
Lookin' for these?
1142
01:23:44,241 --> 01:23:46,026
When I was a girl...
1143
01:23:48,767 --> 01:23:52,380
all I wanted
was to breed horses.
1144
01:23:52,380 --> 01:23:56,645
And one summer--
I expect I was no more than 17--
1145
01:23:56,645 --> 01:23:59,039
I got a job at a ranch.
1146
01:23:59,039 --> 01:24:05,784
Oh, glory, if I didn't love
every blessed minute there.
1147
01:24:05,784 --> 01:24:11,225
And late that spring,
it was about a month
before I was set to return,
1148
01:24:12,269 --> 01:24:15,490
I met this handsome...
1149
01:24:16,795 --> 01:24:18,319
young dude.
1150
01:24:22,714 --> 01:24:27,154
And, uh... out of the deal, I--
1151
01:24:27,154 --> 01:24:29,199
I got y'all.
1152
01:24:33,812 --> 01:24:35,075
Regret...
1153
01:24:36,946 --> 01:24:41,429
it's an ache in your bones
that don't ever stop.
1154
01:24:43,692 --> 01:24:45,911
- James.
- Yes.
1155
01:24:47,652 --> 01:24:49,219
You're a good man.
1156
01:24:51,830 --> 01:24:55,095
But tonight I'm gonna
ask you to be a great one.
1157
01:24:57,314 --> 01:24:59,447
Give your son his dream.
1158
01:25:16,507 --> 01:25:18,030
I never doubted ya.
1159
01:25:20,685 --> 01:25:24,820
All right, then. Next week...
1160
01:25:24,820 --> 01:25:28,432
when you step up
at them tryouts,
1161
01:25:28,432 --> 01:25:30,565
sling that stone.
1162
01:25:32,001 --> 01:25:34,003
Bring down Goliath.
1163
01:25:35,874 --> 01:25:39,313
Just know... I'll be watching.
1164
01:25:45,188 --> 01:25:47,625
And these three things remain.
1165
01:25:47,625 --> 01:25:52,021
Faith, hope, love.
1166
01:25:52,021 --> 01:25:54,937
And the greatest
of these is love.
1167
01:25:56,504 --> 01:26:02,162
And she gave of herself
and her love in such abundance
1168
01:26:02,162 --> 01:26:05,861
and reserved for us a blessing,
1169
01:26:06,731 --> 01:26:09,169
to speak the unvarnished truth,
1170
01:26:10,431 --> 01:26:13,129
whether we wanted
to hear it or not.
1171
01:26:15,914 --> 01:26:17,786
I will miss her.
1172
01:26:17,786 --> 01:26:20,441
May her fierce spirit
1173
01:26:20,441 --> 01:26:22,834
guard the foals of spring.
1174
01:26:22,834 --> 01:26:25,054
What's that quote from?
1175
01:26:26,577 --> 01:26:28,536
A man's heart.
1176
01:27:36,517 --> 01:27:40,042
What do you want first?
Bad news, or the worst?
1177
01:27:40,042 --> 01:27:42,087
Will you stop
sugarcoating things?
1178
01:27:42,087 --> 01:27:47,136
Tryout next week will be
teeming with pro scouts.
1179
01:27:49,312 --> 01:27:51,749
Exactly how is that a bad thing?
1180
01:27:51,749 --> 01:27:54,491
Well...
'cause one of 'em's Red Murff.
1181
01:27:54,491 --> 01:27:56,580
The Nolan Ryan Red?
1182
01:27:56,580 --> 01:27:57,973
That Red.
1183
01:27:57,973 --> 01:28:00,932
The toughest scout in the game.
1184
01:28:00,932 --> 01:28:04,632
Now, I told you
you're gonna get your chance
to show 'em your stuff.
1185
01:28:04,632 --> 01:28:05,676
You ready?
1186
01:28:08,723 --> 01:28:12,335
- As I can be.
- Well, hell, I'd have
taken a little more, like,
1187
01:28:12,335 --> 01:28:15,164
- emphatic "Hell yeah," but...
1188
01:28:15,164 --> 01:28:17,471
Now, you just remember
one thing, though.
1189
01:28:17,471 --> 01:28:20,735
All old Red's gotta do
is see you hit.
1190
01:28:49,241 --> 01:28:52,201
Nice. That was bad on my part.
You all right?
1191
01:28:53,202 --> 01:28:55,204
Tomorrow, I--
1192
01:28:55,204 --> 01:28:58,076
I face one of
my greatest trials.
1193
01:28:59,426 --> 01:29:01,689
I will prevail not for myself,
1194
01:29:02,820 --> 01:29:04,735
nor to defy my earthly father,
1195
01:29:07,216 --> 01:29:10,001
who, through your grace,
1196
01:29:10,001 --> 01:29:13,527
I've come to love
and understand more.
1197
01:29:14,789 --> 01:29:16,486
I know I've been selfish...
1198
01:29:18,532 --> 01:29:22,797
that his beliefs and works at
your service come before mine.
1199
01:29:22,797 --> 01:29:27,367
I will try to find some
other way to deserve his love
1200
01:29:28,629 --> 01:29:30,239
and make him proud.
1201
01:29:34,765 --> 01:29:36,550
But tomorrow, Lord,
1202
01:29:36,550 --> 01:29:38,552
be at my side.
1203
01:29:42,991 --> 01:29:44,775
I cannot do this alone.
1204
01:30:27,339 --> 01:30:31,953
- 200 top baseball talents.
1205
01:30:31,953 --> 01:30:36,566
That's how many of you qualified
to stand here this morning.
1206
01:30:36,566 --> 01:30:42,093
By the end of the longest,
toughest day of baseball
any of you have endured,
1207
01:30:42,093 --> 01:30:44,922
only a handful of you
will remain.
1208
01:30:44,922 --> 01:30:47,664
You'll be divided
into two teams.
1209
01:30:47,664 --> 01:30:52,016
Tomorrow night,
you'll go head-to-head
in the big boy park.
1210
01:30:52,016 --> 01:30:54,802
And make no mistake.
1211
01:30:54,802 --> 01:30:57,326
You're not just playing to win.
1212
01:30:57,326 --> 01:31:01,852
You're playing
to join the elite.
1213
01:31:01,852 --> 01:31:05,377
I ain't here wasting my time
with guys who play baseball.
1214
01:31:05,377 --> 01:31:08,163
We're lookin' for
baseball players.
1215
01:31:08,163 --> 01:31:12,472
Hopes, dreams,
determination don't matter.
1216
01:31:12,472 --> 01:31:16,563
This comes down to one thing:
who's best.
1217
01:31:16,563 --> 01:31:19,827
We'll be sending you off
in groups to various fields
1218
01:31:19,827 --> 01:31:24,092
where these men will be making
the calls as to who moves up
1219
01:31:24,092 --> 01:31:26,050
and who goes home.
1220
01:31:26,050 --> 01:31:27,661
Your only goal:
1221
01:31:27,661 --> 01:31:30,490
convince them
to send you to the stadium.
1222
01:31:30,490 --> 01:31:33,536
That stadium
is the winner's circle,
1223
01:31:33,536 --> 01:31:37,845
where you will face the last man
to decide your fate...
1224
01:31:39,542 --> 01:31:40,587
me.
1225
01:31:42,066 --> 01:31:43,372
Last up...
1226
01:31:44,591 --> 01:31:46,549
one rule:
1227
01:31:46,549 --> 01:31:50,161
no talking to the scouts
unless they talk to you.
1228
01:31:50,161 --> 01:31:52,860
Let your play
show 'em what you got.
1229
01:31:52,860 --> 01:31:54,731
And if they say you're done...
1230
01:31:56,559 --> 01:31:58,692
you're done.
1231
01:31:58,692 --> 01:32:01,172
All right, ladies.
Get your assignments.
1232
01:32:01,172 --> 01:32:02,522
Let's head to the field.
1233
01:32:07,831 --> 01:32:09,485
Jason!
1234
01:32:09,485 --> 01:32:12,488
They tried to tell me
Rickey Hill was finished.
1235
01:32:12,488 --> 01:32:15,970
I said, "Nah. Hill's got himself
another mountain to climb.
1236
01:32:15,970 --> 01:32:19,060
He's too hard-headed to quit
and too dumb to listen."
1237
01:32:19,060 --> 01:32:20,757
Pitchers and catchers!
1238
01:32:20,757 --> 01:32:23,020
To the stadium with Red now.
Let's go!
1239
01:32:23,020 --> 01:32:25,893
That's me. Good luck.
1240
01:32:25,893 --> 01:32:27,721
- Hey.
1241
01:32:28,939 --> 01:32:30,419
You didn't bring Quinn with you?
1242
01:32:30,419 --> 01:32:33,248
After you went yard on him,
1243
01:32:33,248 --> 01:32:35,555
all the air got leaked
out of that balloon.
1244
01:33:06,194 --> 01:33:08,805
Run! Run hard!
Run hard! Harder!
1245
01:33:47,017 --> 01:33:49,280
- How's he doing?
- He's hurtin'.
1246
01:33:49,280 --> 01:33:52,675
But he is-- he's hittin'
the best I've ever seen.
1247
01:33:52,675 --> 01:33:54,938
Hey, Hill.
1248
01:33:54,938 --> 01:33:57,462
Don't seem to be making
much of a difference.
1249
01:33:57,462 --> 01:34:00,901
No, Coach, you ain't cuttin' me.
I'm still doing
my second round of hitting.
1250
01:34:00,901 --> 01:34:04,513
I'm not wasting our time.
You can-- you can swing,
you just can't run.
1251
01:34:04,513 --> 01:34:07,255
I don't think they're
giving him a contract to sign.
1252
01:34:07,255 --> 01:34:10,824
They can't cut him yet.
Red hasn't seen him hit.
1253
01:34:10,824 --> 01:34:13,174
All right,
if you give me my last at-bat
1254
01:34:13,174 --> 01:34:15,567
and I don't
moon-shot every pitch,
1255
01:34:15,567 --> 01:34:18,658
- I'll cut myself.
- I'm not negotiating with you!
1256
01:34:18,658 --> 01:34:21,835
But I'll tell you what,
if that's what it takes
for you to leave,
1257
01:34:21,835 --> 01:34:23,314
then grab your bat.
1258
01:34:23,314 --> 01:34:24,664
Yes, sir.
1259
01:35:13,364 --> 01:35:16,150
Hey. Watch where
you're throwin', son.
1260
01:35:17,368 --> 01:35:19,196
All right. Then four catchers...
1261
01:35:21,242 --> 01:35:22,896
- Incomin'!
- Watch out.
1262
01:35:26,769 --> 01:35:28,249
What's he doin'?
1263
01:35:28,249 --> 01:35:30,599
Breakin' windshields.
1264
01:35:33,994 --> 01:35:36,344
Can someone tell me
what the hell's going on?
1265
01:35:43,307 --> 01:35:45,266
Gracious!
1266
01:35:45,266 --> 01:35:48,835
Question is, is that boy hittin'
from home plate or second base?
1267
01:35:52,142 --> 01:35:54,101
No, that's over 400 foot.
1268
01:35:55,058 --> 01:35:56,233
Every bit of it.
1269
01:35:57,931 --> 01:36:00,194
How about we stop
whoever's bombing us
1270
01:36:00,194 --> 01:36:02,283
and check the boy's bat?
1271
01:36:02,283 --> 01:36:04,111
Want me to shut him down, Red?
1272
01:36:07,679 --> 01:36:09,464
Do it now
before he kills someone.
1273
01:36:09,464 --> 01:36:11,205
- Yes, sir.
- Whoa!
1274
01:37:14,355 --> 01:37:16,966
How many homers was that?
1275
01:37:16,966 --> 01:37:18,533
I don't know.
1276
01:37:18,533 --> 01:37:20,970
I lost count after 16.
1277
01:37:32,068 --> 01:37:34,679
- That's a homer.
- Nuh-uh.
1278
01:37:34,679 --> 01:37:36,856
Boy,
I know what a homer looks like.
1279
01:37:36,856 --> 01:37:39,902
It don't count unless
you're batting in the majors.
1280
01:38:23,990 --> 01:38:25,905
Red. It's him.
1281
01:38:28,298 --> 01:38:33,260
- Mr. Murff? I'm--
- Rickey Hill.
Never forget a name.
1282
01:38:33,260 --> 01:38:36,393
Sir, I'm one of the best hitters
you're ever gonna see.
1283
01:38:36,393 --> 01:38:39,309
If I hadn't seem them bombs you
been droppin' with my own eyes,
1284
01:38:39,309 --> 01:38:42,312
I'd be calling all hat
and no cattle on that claim.
1285
01:38:42,312 --> 01:38:43,792
Well,
it ain't no claim.
1286
01:38:43,792 --> 01:38:46,316
Today,
you should've seen me hit.
1287
01:38:46,316 --> 01:38:49,754
Because I got a bum ankle
that's gonna heal...
1288
01:38:50,799 --> 01:38:52,148
they wouldn't bring me up.
1289
01:38:52,148 --> 01:38:55,282
For good reason.
You don't belong here.
1290
01:38:55,282 --> 01:38:59,155
A bad leg could cost
a team wins and money.
1291
01:38:59,155 --> 01:39:03,855
- Money?
- Pro ball ain't just a game.
It's a damn business.
1292
01:39:03,855 --> 01:39:05,814
Come back next year
when you heal up.
1293
01:39:05,814 --> 01:39:07,685
I can't wait until next year.
1294
01:39:07,685 --> 01:39:11,341
Boy's got him some cojones.
1295
01:39:11,341 --> 01:39:14,910
- Know what, that's enough--
- No, no. No, let him be.
1296
01:39:14,910 --> 01:39:18,087
I gotta admit, I'm curious.
1297
01:39:18,087 --> 01:39:21,699
Tell you what. We're gonna
settle this fair and square.
1298
01:39:21,699 --> 01:39:27,227
- How?
- Put you up against the best
pitching talent in the game.
1299
01:39:27,227 --> 01:39:29,446
Tomorrow night?
1300
01:39:29,446 --> 01:39:34,669
That game's gonna be as close to
a pro game as you'll ever get.
1301
01:39:34,669 --> 01:39:38,934
I'm gonna let you
DH for both teams.
1302
01:39:38,934 --> 01:39:41,981
Then we can get
a nice, long look at you.
1303
01:39:43,852 --> 01:39:45,419
I won't embarrass you.
1304
01:39:46,681 --> 01:39:48,683
You got my word.
1305
01:39:48,683 --> 01:39:51,947
I'm gonna give you
this shot here.
1306
01:39:51,947 --> 01:39:54,863
But you don't perform,
it's the end of the road.
1307
01:39:55,733 --> 01:39:57,431
Get you a new dream.
1308
01:40:10,748 --> 01:40:12,881
-"Salvation."
1309
01:40:12,881 --> 01:40:15,275
Does that sound
a little old-fashioned to you?
1310
01:40:16,319 --> 01:40:17,712
- Helen?
- Hello?
1311
01:40:18,582 --> 01:40:20,019
It's another reporter!
1312
01:40:21,846 --> 01:40:24,849
Not a mistake.
Rickey's gonna be designated
hitter for both teams.
1313
01:40:26,242 --> 01:40:28,679
Sure. Yeah, the whole
family's gonna be there.
1314
01:40:28,679 --> 01:40:31,682
It's so frizzy!
1315
01:40:31,682 --> 01:40:33,902
- It's the best I ever seen it.
- Oh--
1316
01:40:36,296 --> 01:40:38,428
Hello? Oh, well...
1317
01:40:40,778 --> 01:40:42,084
Sorry, Mama.
1318
01:40:45,783 --> 01:40:47,959
Half your congregation
isn't gonna be there.
1319
01:40:47,959 --> 01:40:52,399
Wherever two or more
are gathered.
1320
01:40:53,617 --> 01:40:55,837
Now, may I have my eggs?
1321
01:40:57,447 --> 01:41:00,015
Down here in front of me.
May I have my eggs?
1322
01:41:00,015 --> 01:41:01,277
Mm-hmm.
1323
01:41:09,938 --> 01:41:13,072
What on Earth
has gotten into you?
1324
01:41:16,075 --> 01:41:18,773
I need-- I need Mama.
1325
01:41:18,773 --> 01:41:21,384
She understood.
1326
01:41:21,384 --> 01:41:24,431
She said you didn't
do a thing wrong.
1327
01:41:25,954 --> 01:41:28,609
Your boy, he's not a freak.
1328
01:41:28,609 --> 01:41:30,524
He's special.
1329
01:41:30,524 --> 01:41:33,788
He's... perfect.
1330
01:41:34,876 --> 01:41:36,921
When he was born,
I saw him first.
1331
01:41:36,921 --> 01:41:42,492
His legs so thin and frail,
they said, "He will never walk,"
and he ran.
1332
01:41:42,492 --> 01:41:45,756
They said, "He will never live
through the operations,"
1333
01:41:45,756 --> 01:41:47,802
and he survived!
1334
01:41:47,802 --> 01:41:50,761
They said he would
never be good enough,
1335
01:41:50,761 --> 01:41:53,242
and he is the best.
1336
01:41:54,765 --> 01:41:57,899
How many miracles do you need?
1337
01:42:00,815 --> 01:42:02,469
- Stop it.
1338
01:42:31,498 --> 01:42:33,326
However you're cheatin',
1339
01:42:33,326 --> 01:42:35,937
you've gotten so good,
I can't even catch it.
1340
01:42:40,289 --> 01:42:43,336
- Wanna know my secret?
- Mm-hmm.
1341
01:42:46,469 --> 01:42:47,905
I ain't doin' it.
1342
01:42:49,907 --> 01:42:51,953
Well, then who is?
1343
01:42:57,176 --> 01:43:00,614
I guess you'd have to be
living in the cave of Lazarus
1344
01:43:00,614 --> 01:43:04,270
not to know why there's
so few of us here tonight.
1345
01:43:04,270 --> 01:43:09,057
My son Rickey,
he's got a baseball game.
1346
01:43:09,797 --> 01:43:11,538
Very important.
1347
01:43:13,670 --> 01:43:15,368
And if he does well...
1348
01:43:16,934 --> 01:43:19,763
he will have the opportunity
1349
01:43:19,763 --> 01:43:23,158
to become a Major League player.
1350
01:43:23,158 --> 01:43:27,510
To play professionally
is his heart's desire.
1351
01:43:27,510 --> 01:43:30,209
I've always known that he's had
1352
01:43:31,427 --> 01:43:35,214
an exceptional ability
to hit a baseball.
1353
01:43:35,214 --> 01:43:38,086
So you might find it curious
1354
01:43:38,086 --> 01:43:44,484
to know that I have
never seen Rickey play.
1355
01:43:45,441 --> 01:43:47,661
That is a fact
1356
01:43:47,661 --> 01:43:50,098
that I have, uh...
1357
01:43:51,360 --> 01:43:52,666
been proud of
1358
01:43:54,276 --> 01:43:56,452
the whole time that he's played.
1359
01:43:58,802 --> 01:44:00,587
Right up until this very night.
1360
01:45:03,084 --> 01:45:06,522
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to an exhibition game
1361
01:45:06,522 --> 01:45:09,960
showcasing the best-ever
players
in the great state of Texas.
1362
01:45:09,960 --> 01:45:11,310
Go get 'em!
1363
01:45:12,180 --> 01:45:13,747
Lord knows you've earned it.
1364
01:45:13,747 --> 01:45:15,488
Proud of you, Rickey.
1365
01:45:30,198 --> 01:45:32,853
Let me get this straight.
1366
01:45:32,853 --> 01:45:36,900
- I hear they got you hitting
for both sides tonight?
- Yeah.
1367
01:45:36,900 --> 01:45:39,120
That's some heavy liftin'.
1368
01:45:39,120 --> 01:45:43,298
You know,
the boys and I were talkin'.
1369
01:45:43,298 --> 01:45:46,475
And if you was to manage
one more home run
for the blue team...
1370
01:45:46,475 --> 01:45:49,348
- ...got a ice-cold six-pack
of RC Cola
1371
01:45:49,348 --> 01:45:51,088
waitin' for you
in the clubhouse.
1372
01:45:51,088 --> 01:45:53,047
I'll see what I can do for ya.
1373
01:45:53,047 --> 01:45:54,527
All right.
1374
01:45:54,527 --> 01:45:56,398
The starting pitcher
for the red team,
1375
01:45:56,398 --> 01:45:59,836
four-time college
All-American Jake Wilford.
1376
01:46:08,932 --> 01:46:11,326
It's your time, Rickey!
1377
01:46:11,326 --> 01:46:14,329
Tonight, we are in
for a special treat, folks.
1378
01:46:14,329 --> 01:46:17,941
A local high school baseball
star by the name of Rickey Hill.
1379
01:46:17,941 --> 01:46:19,595
Now, this kid has
quite a story.
1380
01:46:19,595 --> 01:46:22,076
He's battled degenerative
spinal disease
1381
01:46:22,076 --> 01:46:25,427
since he was a little boy,
and recently suffered
a real bad setback
1382
01:46:25,427 --> 01:46:28,604
where he fractured his ankle,
resulting in surgery.
1383
01:46:28,604 --> 01:46:31,825
You know, he's overcome a lot,
and he's on a mission.
1384
01:46:34,480 --> 01:46:36,786
Red Murff is gonna give him
a shot of a lifetime
1385
01:46:36,786 --> 01:46:41,443
by being the DH on both teams
to prove to him if he can hit
1386
01:46:41,443 --> 01:46:44,011
and really get
to the big leagues.
1387
01:46:44,011 --> 01:46:46,100
Don't take it easy on him, Jake.
1388
01:46:46,100 --> 01:46:48,102
He calls himself a hitter.
1389
01:46:52,628 --> 01:46:56,153
- Play ball!
- Can you imagine what's
going through Hill's mind,
1390
01:46:56,153 --> 01:46:58,504
all that he had to do,
just to get to this point
1391
01:46:58,504 --> 01:47:00,723
to prove he belongs as a
hitter?
1392
01:47:03,944 --> 01:47:06,947
Digs into the batter's box.
1393
01:47:06,947 --> 01:47:11,473
We're about to see if
Hill is ready for the task.
1394
01:47:11,473 --> 01:47:14,563
Wilford on the mound, getting
ready to throw the first pitch.
1395
01:47:18,001 --> 01:47:20,177
Rocks back
and delivers a fastball.
1396
01:47:20,177 --> 01:47:22,049
- Strike one!
- Right by Hill.
1397
01:47:22,049 --> 01:47:24,747
Looked like he was on his
front foot. Probably anxious,
1398
01:47:24,747 --> 01:47:27,446
just seeing that velocity
for the first time.
1399
01:47:34,931 --> 01:47:37,586
- Strike two!
- Curveball, and a beauty.
1400
01:47:37,586 --> 01:47:40,502
Drops off the table.
That had a lot of break on it.
1401
01:47:40,502 --> 01:47:43,810
And really quickly,
Hill is 0-2 in the count.
1402
01:47:46,421 --> 01:47:48,641
Two strikes on Hill.
1403
01:47:48,641 --> 01:47:50,338
Wilford delivers.
1404
01:47:50,338 --> 01:47:52,688
- That's a line drive base hit.
1405
01:47:52,688 --> 01:47:55,169
That's gotta feel good for Hill.
1406
01:47:55,169 --> 01:47:58,477
Good hit, Rickey!
That'll shake the cobwebs off.
1407
01:47:58,477 --> 01:48:01,044
- What, his or yours?
1408
01:48:01,044 --> 01:48:05,179
That's gotta
take a lot of pressure off
of him to start the day.
1409
01:48:09,444 --> 01:48:12,273
And a pinch runner
steps in for Hill.
1410
01:48:14,057 --> 01:48:15,929
I have been selfish.
1411
01:48:18,018 --> 01:48:20,499
I have been arrogant.
1412
01:48:21,717 --> 01:48:23,414
I, uh--
1413
01:48:24,894 --> 01:48:26,896
Even cruel.
1414
01:48:26,896 --> 01:48:31,161
I thought that
1415
01:48:31,161 --> 01:48:34,687
I knew God's plan for my son.
1416
01:48:34,687 --> 01:48:39,213
And I raised him in obedience
to that plan.
1417
01:48:41,476 --> 01:48:43,522
But it wasn't God's plan.
1418
01:48:45,915 --> 01:48:47,874
It was my plan.
1419
01:48:52,661 --> 01:48:55,098
Rickey had to w--
1420
01:48:55,098 --> 01:48:58,885
wear braces on his legs
just to walk.
1421
01:48:58,885 --> 01:49:03,846
And no matter how he does
in that game tonight,
1422
01:49:03,846 --> 01:49:09,765
he has overcome that
terrible burden that he has
had to carry his whole life.
1423
01:49:12,638 --> 01:49:15,336
I've been the one
that's been the cripple.
1424
01:49:15,336 --> 01:49:20,297
I just couldn't see past
what I thought my son should be
1425
01:49:20,297 --> 01:49:25,433
and just see who he really is
1426
01:49:25,433 --> 01:49:27,827
in the eyes of God.
1427
01:49:33,963 --> 01:49:38,359
I'm supposed to be your pastor,
your spiritual leader.
1428
01:49:39,926 --> 01:49:41,014
But...
1429
01:49:42,450 --> 01:49:44,800
right now I just feel...
1430
01:49:44,800 --> 01:49:46,976
so ignorant.
1431
01:49:46,976 --> 01:49:48,717
And shamed.
1432
01:49:53,417 --> 01:49:55,724
I can't even ask
your forgiveness.
1433
01:49:58,161 --> 01:50:02,209
I guess I gotta
go to God for that.
1434
01:50:02,209 --> 01:50:06,300
Now batting,
this time for the red team,
designated hitter Rickey Hill.
1435
01:50:06,300 --> 01:50:08,563
- Rickey!
- As he gets in the box,
1436
01:50:08,563 --> 01:50:11,131
Red goes out to the mound
to talk to his pitcher.
1437
01:50:11,131 --> 01:50:13,829
Take him down. Let's end this.
1438
01:50:18,834 --> 01:50:21,315
The pitcher gets back
on the rubber, looks back,
1439
01:50:21,315 --> 01:50:23,447
and says to himself, I'm sure,
1440
01:50:23,447 --> 01:50:26,494
"I never pitched a ball with
a guy standing right behind
me."
1441
01:50:26,494 --> 01:50:31,194
Red Murff, a legend in this
game, is planted right
by the pitcher.
1442
01:50:37,200 --> 01:50:40,203
Wind-up... and the pitch.
1443
01:50:40,203 --> 01:50:43,163
Blazed straight up the middle!
Red had to get out of the way.
1444
01:50:43,163 --> 01:50:45,774
Another base hit
in his second at-bat.
1445
01:50:45,774 --> 01:50:49,082
I haven't seen Red
move like that in 20 years.
1446
01:50:49,082 --> 01:50:53,303
Kind of gives a head of
acknowledgment to,
"Okay, that's two."
1447
01:51:43,484 --> 01:51:47,880
Hill has been ten for ten.
He gets another hit.
1448
01:51:52,275 --> 01:51:56,410
Who would've thought that Hill
could've done this after
all that he's been through?
1449
01:51:56,410 --> 01:51:58,891
The surgeries, the comeback.
1450
01:51:58,891 --> 01:52:02,982
Pretty amazing story,
as he steps in now
for his 11th at-bat.
1451
01:52:02,982 --> 01:52:06,420
Red goes to the mound.
Looks like he's gonna
make a change, and he is.
1452
01:52:06,420 --> 01:52:08,161
Making a change to the bullpen.
1453
01:52:09,989 --> 01:52:11,686
What am I missing?
1454
01:52:11,686 --> 01:52:15,298
Red.
Playin' his last stink card.
1455
01:52:15,298 --> 01:52:19,781
- Oh, ladies and gentlemen, this
is gonna be a treat right here.
1456
01:52:19,781 --> 01:52:22,088
This is big-league pitcher
Jimmy Hammer.
1457
01:52:23,350 --> 01:52:25,744
Hammer. The all-star.
1458
01:52:25,744 --> 01:52:29,443
Makes major leaguers
look like Cinderella.
1459
01:52:29,443 --> 01:52:34,448
He's just here for rehab.
Now Red's bringing him in
to ruin Rickey's night.
1460
01:52:34,448 --> 01:52:36,102
Well, Rickey can hit anyone.
1461
01:52:37,190 --> 01:52:38,452
Right?
1462
01:52:41,194 --> 01:52:43,022
Go ahead and warm up.
1463
01:52:44,719 --> 01:52:47,417
Don't need it.
I'm gonna sit him down.
1464
01:52:47,417 --> 01:52:51,682
This is a guy
who's used to putting out
the game with heat,
1465
01:52:51,682 --> 01:52:54,729
comes in and silences
all the at-bats.
1466
01:52:54,729 --> 01:52:58,211
Hill digs in.
You would think 11 for 11
1467
01:52:58,211 --> 01:53:02,955
is a very daunting task
against the big right-hander.
1468
01:53:02,955 --> 01:53:07,916
As he toes the mound and
gets ready for his first pitch,
here it comes.
1469
01:53:07,916 --> 01:53:12,007
- Strike one!
- Fastball, right by him.
Little bit of a flinch.
1470
01:53:23,323 --> 01:53:26,630
- Strike two!
- Swing and a miss.
1471
01:53:26,630 --> 01:53:28,894
Hill looks around in amazement,
1472
01:53:28,894 --> 01:53:32,245
as Red knew probably this is
what he needed to see
1473
01:53:32,245 --> 01:53:37,772
to make his challenge against
Hill about as big as it gets.
1474
01:53:43,691 --> 01:53:45,562
- Foul ball!
1475
01:53:45,562 --> 01:53:47,651
Foul ball
down the right field line.
1476
01:53:47,651 --> 01:53:49,088
He got a piece of that.
1477
01:53:52,482 --> 01:53:56,878
Hill processing everything
right now, and Hammer knows
he's got one task,
1478
01:53:56,878 --> 01:54:00,969
and that's to strike out Hill
and show him what he's made of.
1479
01:54:00,969 --> 01:54:04,277
Hammer delivering
a two-strike pitch.
Here it comes.
1480
01:54:04,277 --> 01:54:07,323
- Oh, no, high and tight.
Dusted him.
1481
01:54:07,323 --> 01:54:11,110
It hit Hill right in
the rib area, and he is down.
1482
01:54:11,110 --> 01:54:15,723
In obvious pain.
Here comes Red to the
batter's box to check on him.
1483
01:54:18,073 --> 01:54:20,249
Come on, Rickey.
1484
01:54:20,249 --> 01:54:22,686
Get up!
1485
01:54:22,686 --> 01:54:25,080
What next?
He-- he takes a base, right?
1486
01:54:25,080 --> 01:54:28,518
- He goes to first.
- With everything that
Hill has been through,
1487
01:54:28,518 --> 01:54:30,738
you just wonder if
this is one of those things
1488
01:54:30,738 --> 01:54:33,001
that might not
allow him to continue.
1489
01:54:33,001 --> 01:54:35,264
It looks like
he's in a lot of pain.
1490
01:54:35,264 --> 01:54:37,179
You done, kid?
1491
01:54:37,179 --> 01:54:40,095
Walk it off. Take your base.
1492
01:54:42,184 --> 01:54:44,491
No.
1493
01:54:44,491 --> 01:54:47,059
What do you mean, no?
1494
01:54:47,059 --> 01:54:49,017
Take your damn base.
1495
01:54:50,845 --> 01:54:53,630
I don't have to take my base.
1496
01:54:56,198 --> 01:54:57,721
It's not a real game.
1497
01:54:58,984 --> 01:55:00,289
It's a tryout.
1498
01:55:02,465 --> 01:55:04,250
You're ten for ten.
1499
01:55:05,294 --> 01:55:07,818
You got nothing left to prove.
1500
01:55:09,995 --> 01:55:11,953
He's gonna stay in and hit.
1501
01:55:11,953 --> 01:55:14,390
We're watching
an incredible moment, folks.
1502
01:55:14,390 --> 01:55:16,740
This is something
that normally doesn't happen.
1503
01:55:16,740 --> 01:55:18,917
Hey, what's he doing?
1504
01:55:18,917 --> 01:55:21,310
Well, take a base, Rickey!
1505
01:55:28,143 --> 01:55:31,407
Again, ten for ten
and then getting hit.
1506
01:55:31,407 --> 01:55:34,367
He wants to stay in the box
and try to go 11 for 11.
1507
01:55:34,367 --> 01:55:37,979
- Imagine everything
going through his mind
1508
01:55:37,979 --> 01:55:40,851
as he processes
this whole day of events.
1509
01:55:40,851 --> 01:55:44,290
You do that again, you're done.
1510
01:56:10,185 --> 01:56:11,404
Play ball!
1511
01:56:21,196 --> 01:56:23,546
This battle's gonna continue.
1512
01:56:23,546 --> 01:56:26,332
Hill could've taken his base,
but he's standing at home plate,
1513
01:56:26,332 --> 01:56:28,638
staring the bully in the face.
1514
01:56:28,638 --> 01:56:32,468
Hammer on the mound with
an 0-2 pitch ready to be
delivered. Here it comes.
1515
01:56:32,468 --> 01:56:36,472
Swung on. Hill smokes
this ball to left center.
1516
01:56:38,344 --> 01:56:42,565
This ball is far,
and it is gone over the wall!
1517
01:56:42,565 --> 01:56:45,786
Can you believe it?
In the 11th at-bat,
after getting hit,
1518
01:56:45,786 --> 01:56:48,006
Hill has hit a home run.
1519
01:56:48,006 --> 01:56:50,486
What a moment
this must be for him!
1520
01:58:18,922 --> 01:58:21,229
I guess I'll have to
get used to this.
1521
01:58:24,319 --> 01:58:27,105
God's not through
working on both of us.
1522
