The Perfect Game Page #9

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".

win the game out there,

you win it right

in here.

That's not the only

game played there.

You take care, Cesar.

Excuse me.

Mr. Faz.

I believe I got

something to say to you.

I feel the same way.

You do?

At first, I was angry,

but then, my father

got your telegram,

and he said,

we were going

to Williamsport

Telegram.

Yeah.

The unexpected play.

At the unexpected time!

Telegram, yeah! Okay.

Finally, Mr. Faz,

I'm honored to meet you.

It's an honor

to meet you.

Monterrey's Angel Macias

pitched his team to victory

setting down 18 batters in a row.

A perfect game.

The little tykes from Mexico

are the first foreign team ever to

win Little League's highest honor.

Four weeks ago these kids

walked across the desert,

but now that they're champions,

they're not going to have to walk home.

First stop, Ebbets Field, as the

guests of the Brooklyn Dodgers,

where they rubbed shoulders with the

real Roy Campanella, and Duke Snider.

Even Stan the Man Musial takes

a pitching type from Angel Macias.

If meeting the Brooklyn

Dodgers wasn't enough,

the boys

were invited to the home

of the biggest baseball fan

in the free world,

Mr. President Eisenhower.

Even Ike wanted to pose for a

photo in front of that huge trophy.

Just wait 'till they tell their

friends back home about this.

What was the best

part for you guys?

All those beautiful

girls in New York City.

Going to the White House and

meeting President Eisenhower.

I took one of

his pens.

I think Mr. Faz

has finally got his siesta.

Papa, I'm sorry for

missing my chores for so long.

Chores can wait

for a champion.

For Pedro's shrine.

No, my son.

It's for you.

Come, Monterrey wants

to see its heroes.
