The Perfect Game Page #4

Synopsis: Based on a true story. In 1957 a rag-tag, shoeless, poor group of kids from Monterrey, Mexico shocked the world by winning 13 games in a row and the Little League World Series in the only perfect game ever pitched in the Championship. These kids, led by their priest and a down-and-out former major leaguer embark on a journey through the southern US and up into Williamsport, PA for the Championship game. They encountered many adversities including nearly being deported and the bigotry that wouldn't allow them into certain restaurants or travel on certain buses. They never lost their faith and eventually captured the hearts of both nations. This is a heart-warming inspirational story in the tradition of "Rudy", "Hoosiers", "Coach Carter" or "Friday Night Lights".

honor and glory.

Father. Son.

Holy Ghost. Amen.

Does anybody know the

Holy Trinity of baseball?

The Father, The

Son, and The Holy Ghost.

Close. Home runs, RBI's,

and batting averages.

And they all revolve

around this.

Looking good, Pepe.

Who are you?

I'm Pepe Maiz Garcia.

I play left field.

But coach hasn't

made positions yet.

Well we'll see.

Boys, meet your

new left fielder.

You think your Dad

can buy your way onto the team?

Money isn't everything.

Yeah, well, you don't have

any. And you never will.

At least I'll always be

able to kick your butt.

All right everybody!

Heads up! Runner on first.

One out, play to second. Ready? Fidel.

What runner Mr. Faz?

There's no one on the base.

Pretend.

Yogi Berra said

Well I must be

to think that I could teach

you kids baseball in four weeks.

Baltazar!

What happened?

You said Baltazar.

The unexpected play

at the unexpected time.

That's what we're

training for!

Nice play, girl.

Come on, you kids.

Keep it together.

Ugh.

Hey! Hey!

There's two

kinds of players.

Those who can play as a team and

those who won't be on this team!

You got

that! Alright.

Everybody, five laps.

It was their fight, we shouldn't

all have to run five laps!

Norberto's right.

Everybody, ten laps! Move it!

You all rise

and fall together!

What am I doing?

Again!

Again! Make sure you get it!

Grounder!

What are you doing?

Mr. Faz,

you have a date!

Get back to your

position! Go!

Again!

Again!

Again!

Anyone jogging's

going to make the whole team

run an extra

five laps,

and I know you

don't want that.

You want to be a champ,

you got to run like a champ.

Come on,

keep up, Ricardo.

Way to go, Norberto.

I don't know what men

do in America, but in Mexico,

they treat a woman

with more respect.

Sorry.

Practice ran late,

and running the boys...

Perhaps you

just forgot.

Mr. Faz, here are the flowers

you got for the lady yesterday.

Flowers?

You got this for me?

I... I know you told

me to put them in water,

they're

a little wilted.

They're beautiful.

Um, Mario.

Your laps.

Oh! Because I didn't put the

flowers in the water, right!!

It's okay.

#Take me out

To the Ballgame #

#Take me out to the crowd #

#Buy me some peanuts #

#And cracker jack #

#I don't care

If I never get back #

#Let me root, root, root

For the home team #

#And if they don't win

it's a shame #

#For it's one #

#Two #

#Three strikes, you're out #

#At the old ball game #

#Yeah #

#Let me root, root, root

For the home team #

#And if they don't win #

#It's a shame #

#For it's one #

#Two #

#Three strikes, you're out #

#At the old ball game #

Now I have some

announcements to make,
