This film is based
on the real-life events of 1957 when a Little League Baseball team came from
Monterrey, Mexico to play against American teams. Cesar Faz was a 1950’s baseball player who was never given a
chance because he was from Mexico.
He went back to his own country and even though it wasn’t his choice, he
became the coach of a Mexican baseball team.
He worked in the steel mill with the father’s of the players to make a
living.
This
was the period when certain groups of people had their own bathrooms and people sat
by themselves with their own race. Unfortunately,
there was a lot of unfairness and prejudice during this time in life and in
sports. Cheech Marin plays a
priest! 3 ½* (I liked this movie)
