Hang on, Coach. I don't have Jarius
Evans on this roster anywhere.
Oh, you know what?
There he is. He's okay.
The other day...
we played a really important game
against a good team.
And, two outs
in the last inning...
I had no choice
but to let Jarius bat.
You can swing if you want,
but you don't have to.
Okay? If you go down looking,
none of us care.
But if you want to swing,
swing.
Get back in there.
Do what you feel.
He was fearless
as he stepped to the plate.
I was terrified for him.
With two strikes
And our hopes dwindling...
he hit a shot
down the first baseline...
and won the game.
And watching him...
raise his arms in triumph...
as he ran to first base...
I swear...
I was lifted in that moment
to a better place.
I swear he--
he lifted the world
in that moment.
He made me...
a better person...
even if just
for that moment.
lam...
forever grateful to Jarius
for that.
That was nice...
what you said.
His mother was very moved.
Thank you.
Wait.
There's some people who want to talk
to you about the baseball team.
The team is done.
That's what they want
to talk to you about.
They're in the auditorium.
We know the league wants to cancel
the championship game.
Mom said it was all up to us
'cause of G-Baby.
Yeah. It's over.
You guys don't have to play.
You guys had a great year.
You can keep the uniforms.
Wait. You're quitting again?
What do you mean?
We wanna play, b*tch.
- You guys wanna play?
- Hell, yeah!
For G-Baby.
I'll see you tomorrow
at 1 1 :
00.I came to make sure
you guys win.
I even made a bet
with your friend, Ticky.
improves our chances.
Did you really fill out an
application to work at the school?
Good luck today.
Thank you.
- Andre, Ray Ray.
- What's up, Coach?
Why don't you bring
everybody in?
- Hey, y'all, bring it in!
- Let's go!
I want you guys to take a good look
at yourselves today and feel proud.
We made it here.
We're here.
What I've learned from you
is that...
really, one of the most
important things in life...
is showing up.
I'm blown away
by your ability to show up...
through everything
that's gone on.
to play this game...
but you showed up.
But we only have
eight players, so--
- God.
- We can't play.
He was my brother.
We gonna play today.
Here you go, Kofi.
- Okay, this is for G-Baby.
- G-Baby.
Play ball!
