The Perfect Game – Movie
Posted on April 5th, 2010 No comments
Watch for the premiere of The Perfect Game. There will be a screening April 12th at 7:00 PM at the Century Rio theatres. Please listen to your favorite radio station for times and locations for ticket give aways. The movie opens April 16th.
Living amidst the gritty poverty of 1957 Monterrey, Mexico, a rag–tag group of boys from the wrong side of the tracks discovers the joy of sandlot baseball under the guidance of Cesar, an aspiring Major League Coach thwarted by discrimination.
Armed with the dream of playing a real Little League game, the young players defy a total lack of resources, disapproving parents, and widespread prejudice to score their first Little League victory on U.S. soil and find themselves at the beginning of a once-in-a-lifetime journey.
Relying on their faith, a warm-hearted priest and their love of the game, the nine players and their coach embark on an incredible, record-breaking winning streak that leads them across the border to America, and all the way to the 1957 Little League World Series where a miracle will cement their place in history and change their lives forever.
Based upon an extraordinary true story THE PERFECT GAME is a heartwarming tale of faith and the resiliency of human spirit in the overwhelming odds.
