1
00:01:44,871 --> 00:01:47,571
[Boy] Roger, do you believe in heaven?
2
00:01:47,641 --> 00:01:51,101
I guess. That’s where
they say my mom went.
3
00:01:51,176 --> 00:01:55,336
—Maybe that's where my dad went.
—Probably.
4
00:01:55,414 --> 00:01:59,754
Hey, maybe your mom
and my dad are friends up there.
5
00:01:59,818 --> 00:02:04,448
—That could be.
—‘Cause you're my best friend down here.
6
00:02:04,523 --> 00:02:08,463
You're my best friend
too, J.P..
7
00:02:22,841 --> 00:02:27,211
Roger, how come Maggie's house
is called a foster home?
8
00:02:27,279 --> 00:02:29,769
I don't know. Maybe the first people who let
9
00:02:29,848 --> 00:02:32,208
other people's kids live with them were named “Foster.“
10
00:02:32,284 --> 00:02:37,524
Oh. So if we stay there a long time,
do we gotta change our name to Foster?
11
00:02:37,590 --> 00:02:40,020
— No way.
— Good.
12
00:02:40,091 --> 00:02:42,621
Besides, we're not gonna
be there a long time.
13
00:02:42,694 --> 00:02:47,034
— Really? — Yeah, somethin' good's gonna happen.
14
00:02:47,098 --> 00:02:52,228
[J.P..] Yeah, somethin' good. Maybe today, even. It could happen.
15
00:03:06,951 --> 00:03:09,351
[Sportscaster] The Angels, trying to
break a 14—game losing streak,
16
00:03:09,420 --> 00:03:13,380
face the Toronto Blue Jays here this
afternoon at Anaheim Stadium.
17
00:03:13,458 --> 00:03:15,618
Maggie, we're back.
18
00:03:17,662 --> 00:03:19,602
So, where ya been?
19
00:03:19,664 --> 00:03:23,734
Just ridin' around.
You said be back by 5:00.
20
00:03:27,105 --> 00:03:30,505
I can't tell time yet.
Are we back by 5:00?
21
00:03:30,575 --> 00:03:34,835
Close. Come on, J.P..,
get your bike in. Roger?
22
00:03:34,912 --> 00:03:38,682
—Yeah?
—You have a visitor. He's waiting inside for you.
23
00:03:38,750 --> 00:03:40,950
Is it——
24
00:03:48,126 --> 00:03:50,716
- Dad?
- Hey
25
00:03:50,794 --> 00:03:54,564
—Dad!
—Surprised to see me?
26
00:03:56,767 --> 00:03:59,257
Yeah.
27
00:03:59,336 --> 00:04:04,866
You look kinda scrawny. Don't they feed you enough in this place?
28
00:04:04,941 --> 00:04:06,881
Yeah.
29
00:04:06,943 --> 00:04:12,443
—Where you been? I was waitin'.
—Just ridin' around the stadium.
30
00:04:12,516 --> 00:04:15,106
—Angels still your team?
—Yeah.
31
00:04:15,184 --> 00:04:17,714
They're in last place.
32
00:04:19,455 --> 00:04:21,385
Yeah.
33
00:04:21,457 --> 00:04:24,087
Runs in the blood.
34
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,250
Family that likes losers.
35
00:04:31,500 --> 00:04:34,770
So...
I came to say...
36
00:04:34,837 --> 00:04:37,397
that I'm goin' up north.
37
00:04:37,473 --> 00:04:41,573
I know I said when I came it'd be to get you, but...
38
00:04:41,644 --> 00:04:45,384
[Sighs] things ain't workin' out that way.
39
00:04:51,921 --> 00:04:56,421
I did what I could with ya. Maybe if your mom was alive it'd be different.
40
00:04:58,059 --> 00:05:00,689
I, uh...They had me sign
this thing, this paper.
41
00:05:00,762 --> 00:05:05,672
Some kind of release thing. Uh, just gotta go to court to make it final.
42
00:05:07,335 --> 00:05:11,355
You understand
what I'm sayin', don't ya?
43
00:05:13,006 --> 00:05:14,936
Y—Yeah.
44
00:05:15,008 --> 00:05:18,028
Okay, I'm glad we got
that outta the way.
45
00:05:24,951 --> 00:05:26,891
Where's the pickup?
46
00:05:26,953 --> 00:05:31,123
I traded it in.
The bike's better for travelin'.
47
00:05:32,692 --> 00:05:36,032
Dad, when we gonna be
a family again?
48
00:05:38,698 --> 00:05:40,858
From where I'm sittin',
49
00:05:43,136 --> 00:05:46,536
I'd say when the Angels
win the pennant.
50
00:05:46,606 --> 00:05:48,866
You stay outta
trouble, son.
51
00:05:48,941 --> 00:05:50,971
[Motorcycle Starts, Revs]
52
00:06:03,355 --> 00:06:05,515
[Faint Crowd Cheering]
53
00:06:05,657 --> 00:06:09,317
[Stadium Announcer] Number 27, shortstop, Steve Acker.
54
00:06:09,394 --> 00:06:12,834
[Sportscaster] So with the Angels down by seven, it's now one ball, two strikes to Acker,
55
00:06:12,898 --> 00:06:16,228
—the fourth batter to face Gates here in the eighth.
—Come on, strike him out!
56
00:06:16,301 --> 00:06:18,431
Yeah! Strike him out!
57
00:06:18,503 --> 00:06:21,403
[Sportscaster]...And got Godchaux on a pop—up to Mitchell at third
58
00:06:21,473 --> 00:06:23,873
Burn it in there.
59
00:06:23,942 --> 00:06:26,342
[Man] Come on, Angels, let 's stay in this.
60
00:06:26,411 --> 00:06:29,001
[Sportscaster]
Gates takes the sign,
61
00:06:29,079 --> 00:06:33,379
checks the runner at first
and delivers.
62
00:06:33,450 --> 00:06:36,390
—[Crowd Groaning]
—Acker lobs the ball high into left field
63
00:06:36,453 --> 00:06:38,893
[Man]
Gates, you stink!
64
00:06:38,955 --> 00:06:42,445
Norton and Williams
both going for the catch.
65
00:06:42,525 --> 00:06:44,955
— I—I got it. I got it.
— And this will be Ben Williams’ call
66
00:06:47,329 --> 00:06:51,699
And Williams and Norton collide
and the catch is blown!
67
00:06:51,767 --> 00:06:54,567
—[Crowd Booing]
—Where's the ball? Uuh!
—Ooh!
68
00:06:54,636 --> 00:06:59,196
Boy, they're bad!
69
00:06:59,274 --> 00:07:02,074
—Ohh!
—[Sportscaster] And with another example...
70
00:07:02,144 --> 00:07:04,914
of his infamous temper, manager George Knox calls time out.
71
00:07:04,980 --> 00:07:07,710
He will have a word
with his pitcher, Frank Gates.
72
00:07:07,782 --> 00:07:10,082
I don't think it's gonna be
a happy word.
73
00:07:10,150 --> 00:07:13,310
[Sportscaster] And it looks like Knox is going to take Gates out.
74
00:07:13,386 --> 00:07:17,046
Gates doesn't look
too pleased about this.
75
00:07:17,123 --> 00:07:20,823
—Gimme the ball.
—It ain't my fault. You need a new outfield.
76
00:07:20,894 --> 00:07:22,664
You're outta here!
Give me the ball!
77
00:07:22,729 --> 00:07:26,219
You want the ball?
Here you go. Go get it!
78
00:07:26,299 --> 00:07:28,769
—Gates has thrown his ball and glove into the stands.
—My glove? Go get it!
79
00:07:28,835 --> 00:07:31,735
Go on, get outta here!
You're finished, Gates!
80
00:07:31,805 --> 00:07:33,995
—And Knox has attacked his own pitcher!
—Uh oh!
81
00:07:34,074 --> 00:07:36,344
Skip, Skip. Let ‘em go, Skip.
82
00:07:36,409 --> 00:07:40,679
—You're washed up! You'll never pitch again!
—You're crazy, Knox!
83
00:07:40,747 --> 00:07:44,077
They're clearing the benches! Now both teams are on the field.
84
00:07:44,150 --> 00:07:46,080
Hey! It's not our fight!
85
00:07:46,152 --> 00:07:49,142
—George Knox has created total chaos!
—[Bluejays] Huh? What?
86
00:07:49,222 --> 00:07:51,952
— Hit him one for me, Gates!
—I can't find him!
87
00:07:52,024 --> 00:07:55,124
— You're crazy!
— You can't manage a team!
88
00:07:55,194 --> 00:08:00,534
This is outrageous! George Knox fighting off his own players,
89
00:08:00,599 --> 00:08:03,589
[Sighs] Surprise, surprise.
90
00:08:03,669 --> 00:08:06,429
And they're trying to keep
Knox and Gates apart
91
00:08:06,505 --> 00:08:08,195
You stink, Knox!
92
00:08:08,274 --> 00:08:10,834
Knox, you're outta here!
93
00:08:10,910 --> 00:08:13,470
Come on, ump, leave him in!
94
00:08:13,545 --> 00:08:16,035
Yeah!
Don't throw him out!
95
00:08:16,115 --> 00:08:18,945
— Hey! What are you kids doin' up there?
—[Gasps] Uh—oh!
96
00:08:19,018 --> 00:08:20,808
You better have tickets
for that tree!
97
00:08:20,885 --> 00:08:23,175
Game's over for us, J.P...
We gotta go!
98
00:08:23,253 --> 00:08:25,553
That's right, clear offl
Go on, get outta here!
99
00:08:25,621 --> 00:08:28,891
You heard me! Don't let me catch you twerps around here again!
100
00:08:28,958 --> 00:08:31,088
— You kickin' me out? That's good!
—Yes, I'm kicking you out!
101
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,020
—‘Cause you been stinkin' up the calls all day!
—You're gone!
102
00:08:33,094 --> 00:08:36,364
[Knox] You can't kick me out 'cause I'm leaivin’. You get that? I’m outta here!
103
00:08:36,431 --> 00:08:41,331
[Sportscaster] And Knox will watch the rest of the game...in the locker room.
104
00:08:41,403 --> 00:08:45,813
Murphy's out of his mind
to put up with this nonsense.
105
00:08:45,874 --> 00:08:49,244
— You think you can do any better? — [ Scoffs] Blindfolded.
106
00:08:49,311 --> 00:08:52,211
Well, when you were managing, boy,
you had a lot of trouble. I remember——
107
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,840
—[Sizzling]
—Zip it, pal. You have to ask yourself, what is goin' on...
108
00:08:55,917 --> 00:08:58,977
with this team, and how long will owner Hank Murphy put up...
109
00:08:59,054 --> 00:09:00,924
with this kind of behavior
from his manager.
110
00:09:00,988 --> 00:09:05,478
I thought I'd seen it all, ladies and gentlemen,
but with George Knox calling the shots,
111
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:06,889
you never know
what will happen.
112
00:09:06,961 --> 00:09:09,191
Careful, J.P..
Let's go!
113
00:09:16,270 --> 00:09:20,000
—Why do you idiots do that after we've lost?
—It's for good luck, man.
114
00:09:20,074 --> 00:09:22,914
After 15 straight losses, I say we find somethin' else to rub.
115
00:09:22,977 --> 00:09:25,407
— Like Triscuit's head.
—Don't even think about touchin' me... anywhere.
116
00:09:25,478 --> 00:09:28,568
—Fatty pants.
—Maybe we should do this before we lose.
117
00:09:28,648 --> 00:09:33,378
Aw, not again! They got
the wrong kind of salami!
118
00:09:33,453 --> 00:09:36,513
— Itwas nice of Knox to letyou play. — Hey, I can hit it. You gotta,
119
00:09:36,589 --> 00:09:39,919
you gotta chol 00:09:44,361
— Hey, how's the arm?
— It's feelin' strong.
121
00:09:44,430 --> 00:09:47,060
You'll be pitchin' no—hitters
any day now.
122
00:09:47,133 --> 00:09:50,763
,* We are the boys ofsummer
and it's a big bummer,‘
123
00:09:50,837 --> 00:09:53,597
J No matter who we play
we give the game away;
124
00:09:53,673 --> 00:09:57,203
4‘ ‘Cause we can't win
that would be a sin 4‘
125
00:09:57,276 --> 00:10:01,796
— ;We even lose the games before they begin J; — Save it, Mapel!
126
00:10:14,961 --> 00:10:16,951
— Bummer.
— One more loss!
127
00:10:17,030 --> 00:10:20,300
One more loss
which could have been a win!
128
00:10:20,366 --> 00:10:22,796
You call yourselves professionals.
129
00:10:22,868 --> 00:10:27,598
I have never seen a worse group of 25 players!
130
00:10:27,672 --> 00:10:33,272
You don't think as a team, you don't play as a team,
you don't even lose as a team!
131
00:10:33,345 --> 00:10:36,335
You all got your heads so far up your butts...
132
00:10:36,415 --> 00:10:39,675
you can't even see the light of day!
133
00:10:39,751 --> 00:10:45,251
One more loss and I'll, and I'll do this!
Aah! To each and every one of you!
134
00:10:46,324 --> 00:10:48,264
Ho—ho—ho!
135
00:10:48,326 --> 00:10:52,056
I want you here, in uniform,
at 9:00 tomorrow.
136
00:10:52,130 --> 00:10:54,760
We're going back to work
on fundamentals!
137
00:10:54,833 --> 00:10:56,963
Fundamentals?
In the middle of the season?
138
00:10:57,035 --> 00:11:00,125
I thought the game started at 1:00.
139
00:11:00,205 --> 00:11:04,335
It does start at 1:00. And you're a jackass!
140
00:11:04,409 --> 00:11:06,379
— No, I'm a pitcher.
—[Groaning]
141
00:11:06,445 --> 00:11:09,465
—I think you're a pitcher and jackass.
—Si It's very common.
142
00:11:09,547 --> 00:11:11,607
Oh.
143
00:11:18,521 --> 00:11:21,511
Tough loss, George.
144
00:11:21,591 --> 00:11:24,621
I can't take it anymore.
You have to start trading ‘em.
145
00:11:24,693 --> 00:11:27,063
All of them, now.
146
00:11:27,129 --> 00:11:32,289
—I can't trade 25 players.
—I can't win with these guys. Nobody can.
147
00:11:32,367 --> 00:11:35,997
There's a thing called talent.
They don't have it.
148
00:11:36,071 --> 00:11:38,661
This isn't Cincinnati, George.
149
00:11:38,739 --> 00:11:41,969
No one expects you
to win big with these boys.
150
00:11:42,043 --> 00:11:46,343
I came here to manage a winning baseball team.
151
00:11:46,414 --> 00:11:50,714
You just hang on, partner. You'll ride through the dark days.
152
00:11:50,785 --> 00:11:53,405
[Man On Bullhorn] Mr. Knox, we‘re waiting on the field.
153
00:11:53,488 --> 00:11:55,418
We're waiting.
154
00:11:57,758 --> 00:11:59,418
What's that?
155
00:11:59,493 --> 00:12:01,983
David Montagne, administrative assistant for media relations.
156
00:12:02,062 --> 00:12:06,002
You're scheduled to do Ranch Wilder's
postgame show here, and he's been waiting.
157
00:12:06,066 --> 00:12:08,586
The press are all scum. They're meant to be kept waiting.
158
00:12:08,668 --> 00:12:12,098
—Ranch Wilder's worse than scum.
—Who's fault is that? That is not my fault.
159
00:12:12,172 --> 00:12:15,072
What ever happened to Barney or Bailey,
or whatever the jerk's name is?
160
00:12:15,142 --> 00:12:18,042
You fired him and they hired me on Monday.
161
00:12:18,111 --> 00:12:22,381
Then I can't officially fire you until Friday. Make a note.
162
00:12:24,584 --> 00:12:26,524
Uh, where, where, where?
163
00:12:26,586 --> 00:12:28,516
All right, all right.
164
00:12:28,588 --> 00:12:30,518
Microphone?
165
00:12:30,590 --> 00:12:34,490
Thrown out of the game. I imagine the commissioner's finally happy.
166
00:12:34,561 --> 00:12:36,501
We're on in three, two, one.
167
00:12:36,563 --> 00:12:41,433
And we're back with Angels‘ manager George Knox.
This was a tough loss today.
168
00:12:41,501 --> 00:12:45,031
—Any loss is hard.
—But this one really got to you.
169
00:12:45,105 --> 00:12:48,625
You leave Cincinnati after ten years of winning ball clubs,
although the really big one...
170
00:12:48,708 --> 00:12:52,168
always seemed to be just out of reach,
and you come out here to manage our Angels.
171
00:12:52,244 --> 00:12:55,274
Now, expectations were high that you could turn this team around,
172
00:12:55,346 --> 00:12:58,606
but that just doesn't seem to be happening.
173
00:12:58,683 --> 00:13:02,523
—Season's only half over, Ranch.
—And your club's in last place.
174
00:13:02,586 --> 00:13:05,776
You oughta know how one incident
can change the course of events.
175
00:13:05,856 --> 00:13:07,946
Well, you know, you play the game, you take your chances.
176
00:13:08,025 --> 00:13:11,715
—Sometimes you're just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
—Yeah, you're an expert at that.
177
00:13:11,795 --> 00:13:16,055
—I could say the same about you.
—Well, actions speak louder than words.
178
00:13:16,133 --> 00:13:17,963
—Well, that'll wrap things up here in the field…
hey, I'm still on the air here.
179
00:13:18,035 --> 00:13:20,085
––Oh, yeah? Ooh!
180
00:13:21,705 --> 00:13:25,465
—We're speaking with Angels‘ manager George Knox. George?
—Oh!
181
00:13:25,542 --> 00:13:27,482
And, uh, we'll be right back.
182
00:13:27,611 --> 00:13:30,841
[Maggie] Oh, Roger, you haven ‘t eaten a thing.
183
00:13:30,914 --> 00:13:33,614
I‘m not hungry.
184
00:13:33,684 --> 00:13:37,094
Miguel, you have to miss the baseball game tomorrow
185
00:13:37,154 --> 00:13:40,654
I’m sorry, your social worker called and you have an interview.
186
00:13:40,724 --> 00:13:42,854
She'll be here at 11:00.
187
00:13:42,926 --> 00:13:46,786
Good, I don't want to go to the game anyway. Angels never win.
188
00:13:46,863 --> 00:13:51,773
— [ Scoffs ] I want to go to the game. They could win. It could happen.
189
00:13:51,835 --> 00:13:55,025
Yeah, and you could drop dead after dinner with food poisoning.
190
00:13:55,105 --> 00:14:00,125
—Leave him alone!
—Boys! Hey, look what we've got for dessert jell—O.
191
00:14:00,209 --> 00:14:03,009
— Yea!
— It's not really jell—O.
192
00:14:03,079 --> 00:14:06,139
It's cat brains with food coloring. She kills ‘em at night...
193
00:14:06,215 --> 00:14:08,545
—and feeds ‘em to us to save money.
—Shut up, Miguel!
194
00:14:08,618 --> 00:14:12,708
Roger, you know we do not use
those words in this house.
195
00:14:12,788 --> 00:14:15,148
Meow!
196
00:14:15,224 --> 00:14:19,824
And you know I would never use
food coloring on my cat brains.
197
00:14:27,302 --> 00:14:31,142
–Okay, did we wash our faces? Yeah?
198
00:14:31,205 --> 00:14:35,265
Brush our teeth? Been to the bathroom?
199
00:14:35,342 --> 00:14:39,442
–Did you pick the lint from between your toes? Yeah?
200
00:14:39,513 --> 00:14:42,483
—Did you say your prayers?
—Yeah. — Yeah.
201
00:14:42,549 --> 00:14:44,879
Oh, yeah? Night.
202
00:14:44,952 --> 00:14:46,922
— Night, Maggie.
— Goodnight, Maggie.
203
00:14:48,922 --> 00:14:51,652
—I didn't say my prayers.
—I didn't wash my face.
204
00:14:51,724 --> 00:14:54,394
—What's lint, again?
—Shut up, butthead!
205
00:14:54,460 --> 00:14:59,520
Why do we gotta sleep in these sleeping bags?
I haven't peed the bed in a longtime.
206
00:14:59,599 --> 00:15:01,529
[Sighs] You peed the bed last week.
207
00:15:01,601 --> 00:15:05,231
She makes us sleep in sleeping bags 'cause
she too old to bend over and tuck in sheets.
208
00:15:05,305 --> 00:15:09,705
—She isn't too old. She's got a lot to do.
—Did you guys pray?
209
00:15:09,776 --> 00:15:14,076
I pray every night you go to bed without
buggin' us with a thousand stupid questions.
210
00:15:14,147 --> 00:15:17,667
Maybe tomorrow you'll meet a nice family, Miguel.
211
00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:21,810
[J.P.] I‘ll pray for that. It could happen.
212
00:15:39,972 --> 00:15:42,842
[Whispering]
God——
213
00:15:42,909 --> 00:15:45,639
If there is a god——
214
00:15:45,711 --> 00:15:50,771
If you're a man or a woman,
if you're listenin',
215
00:15:52,784 --> 00:15:55,954
I'd really, really like...
216
00:15:56,021 --> 00:15:59,351
a family.
217
00:15:59,424 --> 00:16:04,864
My dad says that'll only happen
if the Angels win the pennant.
218
00:16:04,930 --> 00:16:07,960
The baseball team, I mean.
219
00:16:08,032 --> 00:16:11,062
So, maybe you could help ‘em win a little.
220
00:16:13,937 --> 00:16:15,867
Amen.
221
00:16:20,777 --> 00:16:23,107
Uh, and a woman too.
222
00:16:31,354 --> 00:16:33,484
— [Knocking]
— Come in.
223
00:16:33,556 --> 00:16:36,456
You wanted to see me?
224
00:16:36,526 --> 00:16:40,656
— You feelin' any better today, George?
— Why would I be feelin' better?
225
00:16:40,730 --> 00:16:44,460
Commissioner fined you $5,000 for jumpin' Gates.
226
00:16:44,534 --> 00:16:48,494
And word has it Ranch is pressin'
civil charges for you poppin' him.
227
00:16:48,571 --> 00:16:51,511
Come to think of it, I have felt better since I slugged Wilder.
228
00:16:51,574 --> 00:16:54,514
— Your pistol's smokin', pal.
— I hadn't made the connection.
229
00:16:54,577 --> 00:16:58,307
I know you and Wilder have been at each
other's throats since you were players.
230
00:16:58,381 --> 00:17:02,081
Yeah, we've been at each other's throats
since he spiked my knee and ruined my career.
231
00:17:02,152 --> 00:17:06,592
— Accidents happen, George.
— It wasn't an accident.
232
00:17:06,656 --> 00:17:10,106
When you slide into a catcher
with your nails up, it's on purpose.
233
00:17:10,192 --> 00:17:12,632
I was comin' into my best years.
234
00:17:12,693 --> 00:17:15,893
Now, don't go makin' more cow—pies to step in, George.
235
00:17:15,963 --> 00:17:19,333
You got enough manure on your boots now
236
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,390
Control yourself today.
237
00:17:21,536 --> 00:17:23,896
[Chattering]
238
00:17:26,441 --> 00:17:30,431
[Announcer] Ladies and gentlemen, a reminder
that every Wednesday is kid's day
239
00:17:30,511 --> 00:17:34,381
Whoa! I see better seats! Much better seats! Come on, J.P..
240
00:17:34,449 --> 00:17:38,439
241
00:17:38,519 --> 00:17:41,919
— Tickets are available the day of the game at the stadium box office.
— All right!
242
00:17:41,989 --> 00:17:44,549
— Thankyou.
— Great seats. — Yeah.
243
00:17:44,625 --> 00:17:47,885
— This is much better than the tree.
— I'll say.
244
00:17:53,401 --> 00:17:58,301
Hey, Skip. Trainer says I'm ready to pitch.
When am I gettin' off the injured list?
245
00:17:58,372 --> 00:18:03,212
How's never sound? You're here 'cause you
got a contract that pays you to be here.
246
00:18:03,277 --> 00:18:06,577
You blew your arm out. Played on too many pain pills.
247
00:18:06,647 --> 00:18:10,907
Pain pills? You were the one stuffin' ‘em down
my throat five years ago in Cincinnati.
248
00:18:10,985 --> 00:18:14,645
Hey, it was your decision to swallow ‘em. I had a brain.
249
00:18:14,722 --> 00:18:18,592
When you were finished, I traded you.
I never thought I'd get stuck with you again.
250
00:18:18,659 --> 00:18:21,289
Why, you rotten——
[Coughing]
251
00:18:21,362 --> 00:18:24,962
That's not contagious, is it? Outta my way. I got a ball club to manage.
252
00:18:25,032 --> 00:18:27,472
[Crowd]–🎶And the rocket's red glare🎶
253
00:18:27,534 --> 00:18:32,374
🎶The bombs bursting in air🎶
254
00:18:32,439 --> 00:18:35,969
🎶Gave proof through the night🎶
255
00:18:36,042 --> 00:18:39,742
🎶That our fiag was still there🎶
256
00:18:39,813 --> 00:18:43,983
🎶Oh, say does that Star—Spangled🎶
257
00:18:44,050 --> 00:18:48,420
🎶Banner yet wave🎶
258
00:18:48,488 --> 00:18:53,118
🎶O'er the land of the free🎶
259
00:18:53,193 --> 00:18:59,263
🎶And the home of the brave🎶
260
00:18:59,332 --> 00:19:01,392
— Whoo—oo!
— [Crowd Cheering]
261
00:19:03,736 --> 00:19:06,226
I guess no matter how many times
you hear that song played...
262
00:19:06,305 --> 00:19:09,495
in a major league stadium on a warm afternoon,
263
00:19:09,575 --> 00:19:12,235
it's still emotionally evocative.
264
00:19:12,311 --> 00:19:16,681
Drop dead. I got sunscreen in my eyes.
265
00:19:16,749 --> 00:19:20,339
Will we win, will we win,
will we win, win, win?
266
00:19:20,419 --> 00:19:22,409
Aw!
267
00:19:23,722 --> 00:19:27,282
— Yeah!
— 🎶Jose, can you see?🎶
268
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,689
— Wait a second. The first word is “Jose”? I thought it was——
– It's Jose. We know.
269
00:19:31,764 --> 00:19:36,764
Wow! It's about a Spanish guy! 🎶Jose, can you see🎶
270
00:19:36,835 --> 00:19:38,765
— I don't believe him.
— It's so easy.
271
00:19:40,305 --> 00:19:43,295
[Wilder] Whit Bass takes the mound with his trademark slide.
272
00:19:43,374 --> 00:19:47,004
His oddball antics are by now well known to the fans.
273
00:19:47,078 --> 00:19:49,878
[Color Man] That's right, Ranch. This season alone we've seen him lick dirt,
274
00:19:49,948 --> 00:19:54,818
eat bugs and floss his
catcher's teeth in the dugout.
275
00:19:54,886 --> 00:19:58,186
None of that, may I add, seems to have helped his pitching.
276
00:19:58,256 --> 00:20:01,156
He‘s two and eleven.
277
00:20:01,225 --> 00:20:05,025
—[Grunts]
—[Announcer] Leading off for the Blue Jays, number 22,
278
00:20:05,096 --> 00:20:08,686
third baseman, Owen Farley
279
00:20:08,766 --> 00:20:13,136
[ Wilder] And after hardly any warm —up, Bass signals he‘s ready
280
00:20:13,204 --> 00:20:15,044
[Crowd Muttering]
281
00:20:17,075 --> 00:20:20,505
[Sniffing]
Mm! Hmm, hmm!
282
00:20:20,578 --> 00:20:22,738
[Yawning]
283
00:20:22,814 --> 00:20:24,754
—[Grunts] Huh?
— [Bat Cracks]
284
00:20:24,816 --> 00:20:26,746
[Grunts]
285
00:20:26,818 --> 00:20:32,688
[Wilder] First pitch of the game and the Angels have an error and a man on base.
286
00:20:32,757 --> 00:20:36,187
So the fifth inning goes into the books with the score nothing to nothing
287
00:20:36,260 --> 00:20:39,820
The Angels thus far have been able to keep the hard—hitting Bluejays silent.
288
00:20:39,897 --> 00:20:43,527
But as we head into the sixth, the Jays have the middle of the order coming up...
289
00:20:43,601 --> 00:20:46,831
with the ever—dangerous Asher Lazzato leading off.
290
00:20:46,904 --> 00:20:51,534
[Announcer] Number 31, left fielder, Asher Lazzato.
291
00:20:53,911 --> 00:20:58,251
[Wilder] Bass sets...
and sets... and sets again.
292
00:20:58,316 --> 00:21:01,006
Please, just throw the ball.
293
00:21:02,854 --> 00:21:04,914
Here‘s the pitch.
294
00:21:04,989 --> 00:21:08,189
And Lazzato smashes one to deep center!
295
00:21:08,259 --> 00:21:11,129
I don't think Williams will get to this one.
—[Panting]
296
00:21:33,785 --> 00:21:35,305
Oh!
297
00:21:35,386 --> 00:21:37,786
[Screaming]
298
00:21:37,855 --> 00:21:40,785
[Wilder] And Ben Williams makes a miraculous catch.
299
00:21:40,858 --> 00:21:44,388
— Holy cow!
— How'd he do that?
300
00:21:44,462 --> 00:21:46,232
Yeah, holy cow!
301
00:21:46,297 --> 00:21:48,927
How'd he do that?
How did he do that?
302
00:21:52,070 --> 00:21:55,900
That, sports fans, is a play
you‘re going to see run
303
00:21:55,972 --> 00:21:59,842
in baseball highlights for years to come.
304
00:21:59,910 --> 00:22:02,540
— Get me something here! Come on, come on!
— We got it.
305
00:22:02,612 --> 00:22:06,672
Get me something! I'm hangin', I'm hangin'! This is dead airtime!
306
00:22:06,750 --> 00:22:10,850
— Did you see that?
— Yeah, awesome.
307
00:22:10,921 --> 00:22:14,691
— They were just sucked down right from the sky.
— Who?
308
00:22:14,758 --> 00:22:17,988
Those guys. Those guys in sparkling pajamas.
309
00:22:18,061 --> 00:22:23,621
What are you talking about, Roger? What guys in sparkling pajamas?
310
00:22:23,700 --> 00:22:26,670
You didn't see ‘em? Those guys carrying Williams?
311
00:22:26,737 --> 00:22:31,107
—I don't know.
—Hey, mister, did you see that?
312
00:22:31,174 --> 00:22:34,874
— Lucky catch.
— No, did you see what happened with the clouds?
313
00:22:34,945 --> 00:22:37,305
Did you see the people with Williams when he caught the ball?
314
00:22:37,380 --> 00:22:39,370
Huh?
315
00:22:39,449 --> 00:22:43,009
There were shiny people out there. Flying, shiny people.
316
00:22:43,086 --> 00:22:47,176
[Slurping] Yeah, well, tell your parents about it.
317
00:22:47,257 --> 00:22:52,717
— But the——
— [Announcer] Number 58, “the Irvinator”, Irving Nator.
318
00:22:52,796 --> 00:22:54,726
[Belching]
319
00:22:57,968 --> 00:23:00,398
You didn't see ‘em?
320
00:23:00,469 --> 00:23:04,199
It was a real good play, Roger. I saw that.
321
00:23:04,273 --> 00:23:06,403
Yes! Yes!
322
00:23:06,475 --> 00:23:11,235
Amazing play! I love it when they come from above like that.
323
00:23:11,313 --> 00:23:14,113
From—From above?
324
00:23:14,183 --> 00:23:16,673
The sky deal. It's a good entrance for ‘em.
325
00:23:16,752 --> 00:23:18,982
— You mean you saw ‘em?
— The angels?
326
00:23:20,556 --> 00:23:24,886
— Angels?
— ‘Course I saw ‘em. They're with me.
327
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,990
The little one's a rookie. Just got off his training wings.
328
00:23:28,062 --> 00:23:31,902
You mean tho—those are...real... angels?
329
00:23:31,965 --> 00:23:34,525
Accept no substitutes.
330
00:23:34,601 --> 00:23:37,331
Who are you?
331
00:23:37,403 --> 00:23:42,003
Just call me Al. No one can see me or hear me but you.
332
00:23:42,073 --> 00:23:43,673
W–Why me?
333
00:23:43,742 --> 00:23:46,042
You asked for help and we're here.
334
00:23:46,110 --> 00:23:49,080
We come and go. It's an “as—needed" situation.
335
00:23:49,146 --> 00:23:52,546
Who you talkin' to, Rog?
336
00:23:52,616 --> 00:23:55,586
— What are you talkin' about?
— Tubby's back.
337
00:23:55,653 --> 00:24:01,293
I'm vapor. Keep your nose clean and your heart open.
338
00:24:01,358 --> 00:24:04,988
You got angels around, sonny. We'll be in touch.
339
00:24:05,062 --> 00:24:07,192
[Grunting]
340
00:24:07,264 --> 00:24:09,794
AL! What--
341
00:24:09,867 --> 00:24:11,797
[Belching]
342
00:24:15,773 --> 00:24:19,903
— Who's Al?
— He's the——
343
00:24:21,378 --> 00:24:23,398
What‘s your problem ?
344
00:24:26,015 --> 00:24:27,945
Are you sick or somethin'?
345
00:24:28,017 --> 00:24:30,917
Yeah, maybe.
346
00:24:30,987 --> 00:24:32,917
Get your pizza, hot pizza.
347
00:24:32,989 --> 00:24:35,479
[Wilder] With two outs, this is the Angels' last chance...
348
00:24:35,558 --> 00:24:38,148
to put away the Jays before extra innings.
349
00:24:38,227 --> 00:24:41,627
Next up is Messmer who, unfortunately, has been hitless...
350
00:24:41,697 --> 00:24:44,497
in his last 26 at bats.
351
00:24:44,566 --> 00:24:48,086
—[Announcer] Number 14, catcher Triscuit Messmer.
— Time.
352
00:24:57,179 --> 00:24:59,909
Here we go again.
353
00:25:20,968 --> 00:25:24,838
[Wilder] And that one, ladies and gents, is headin' downtown...
354
00:25:24,906 --> 00:25:28,026
— and Messmer breaks a bat and the Angels' losing streak...
— [Cheering]
355
00:25:28,109 --> 00:25:31,599
As he crashes a home run in the ninth to win the game.
356
00:25:31,679 --> 00:25:33,269
[Chuckling]
357
00:25:37,618 --> 00:25:39,778
[Grunts]

00:25:41,187 --> 00:25:43,517
[Players Hooting & Cheering]
359
00:25:45,959 --> 00:25:47,889
Oh yeah!
360
00:25:49,829 --> 00:25:52,129
We won?
361
00:25:54,599 --> 00:25:57,799
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
362
00:25:57,869 --> 00:26:01,669
How did that happen?
363
00:26:01,739 --> 00:26:04,939
Yeah, ha!
364
00:26:05,009 --> 00:26:08,739
— But... you didn't see the angel with him?
— We won.
365
00:26:08,813 --> 00:26:13,013
But there were angels in the outfield and in the infield.
366
00:26:13,084 --> 00:26:16,024
—Yeah, nine of 'em.
— [Groaning]
367
00:26:16,087 --> 00:26:19,647
[Announcer] Ladies and gentlemen, our final drawing this afternoon...
368
00:26:19,724 --> 00:26:22,524
will give three lucky winners a chance to be photographed on the field..
369
00:26:22,593 --> 00:26:26,593
— with manager George Knox
— That's a prize? Mm—mm.
370
00:26:26,664 --> 00:26:31,664
The first winning ticket is number 4—7—7—3—8—0.
371
00:26:31,736 --> 00:26:34,066
— I won.
— What?
372
00:26:36,140 --> 00:26:39,540
J.P.: You do it. I don't wanna have my picture taken.
373
00:26:39,610 --> 00:26:42,700
I don't like strangers.
374
00:26:42,780 --> 00:26:46,240
Geez. What's goin' on around here?
375
00:26:46,316 --> 00:26:49,046
— [Announcer] The series against the Oakland A‘s... — [ Chuckling]
376
00:26:49,118 --> 00:26:52,748
— Opening Friday here at the Anaheim Stadium.
— Who's he?
377
00:26:52,822 --> 00:26:57,122
I can see you kids don't know your baseball. That's Mel Clark.
378
00:26:57,193 --> 00:27:02,693
Mel Clark? Whoa, he pitched three shutouts in a row for Cincinnati in 1986.
379
00:27:02,765 --> 00:27:05,695
— Well, that's right.
— My dad used to talk about him.
380
00:27:05,768 --> 00:27:09,028
You used to be Mel Clark?
381
00:27:09,105 --> 00:27:12,035
Yeah, I used to be.
382
00:27:12,108 --> 00:27:15,868
— Come on, son. Let's go.
— That's it. That's all, folks.
383
00:27:15,945 --> 00:27:17,905
Okay, we have three photo ops. It'll be quick.
384
00:27:17,980 --> 00:27:19,910
Give ‘em publicity stills. It'll be quicker.
385
00:27:19,982 --> 00:27:22,852
— They want a picture with you. They're all kids.
— I hate kids.
386
00:27:22,918 --> 00:27:25,348
Yeah, I guessed that.
387
00:27:28,223 --> 00:27:30,663
[Whistles] First kid!
388
00:27:31,992 --> 00:27:34,832
J.P.., wait! Well—— He——
389
00:27:46,974 --> 00:27:50,214
Looks like
a prison photo.
390
00:27:50,277 --> 00:27:54,437
Uh, would either of you mind smiling? The team did just win.
391
00:27:54,515 --> 00:27:57,705
It was a mistake. This team can't win.
392
00:27:57,785 --> 00:28:01,805
— They won 'cause there were angels out there.
— Huh?
393
00:28:01,889 --> 00:28:03,979
Real ones. I saw ‘em.
394
00:28:04,058 --> 00:28:06,788
Two angels came out of the sky
and they picked up Ben Williams.
395
00:28:06,859 --> 00:28:10,959
And another angel hit Messmer's home run. That's why the bat broke.
396
00:28:11,030 --> 00:28:15,760
Great, a psycho kid. David, you think they'd screen these people.
397
00:28:17,503 --> 00:28:22,203
It's true! Ask Williams about it. Or Messmer.
398
00:28:22,275 --> 00:28:25,205
They'll tell you somethin's goin' on. You'll see.
399
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,350
[sewing machine clicking & whirring]
400
00:28:50,469 --> 00:28:54,409
— Honey, why aren't you asleep?
— I gotta ask you somethin'.
401
00:28:54,473 --> 00:28:57,203
Do you believe in angels?
402
00:28:57,274 --> 00:29:01,514
What do angels gotta do with
you bein' out of your bed?
403
00:29:01,579 --> 00:29:05,069
No, I really wanna know.
Do you think they're real?
404
00:29:07,418 --> 00:29:12,688
Well, there area lot of amazing things in life that just can't be explained.
405
00:29:12,756 --> 00:29:14,686
Uh—-
406
00:29:14,758 --> 00:29:16,778
I believe in, uh...
407
00:29:16,860 --> 00:29:20,390
the possibility of miraculous things happening.
408
00:29:20,463 --> 00:29:23,263
That's what makes every day of
our lives worth getting up for.
409
00:29:23,333 --> 00:29:26,863
So, umm——
410
00:29:26,936 --> 00:29:30,736
Yeah. I guess I do believe in angels.
411
00:29:30,807 --> 00:29:32,737
Yeah.
412
00:29:34,409 --> 00:29:37,279
Me too. Good night, Maggie.
413
00:29:37,346 --> 00:29:39,276
Night.
414
00:29:43,152 --> 00:29:46,182
— Huh!
— [whirring, clicking Resumes]
415
00:30:01,369 --> 00:30:03,299
Nice catch yesterday, Ben.
416
00:30:03,371 --> 00:30:07,741
How did it feel? Or did it all happen so fast you don't even remember?
417
00:30:07,808 --> 00:30:11,538
[Williams] I felt weightless, like somebody had me by the arms, Skip.
418
00:30:11,612 --> 00:30:14,052
How'd I do that?
419
00:30:22,255 --> 00:30:26,115
It wasn't like a regular homer, you know?
It felt like someone was swingin' with me.
420
00:30:26,193 --> 00:30:28,923
Very strange. I could feel some added power comin' from somewhere.
421
00:30:28,994 --> 00:30:31,264
It must've been those chili dogs I ate before the game.
422
00:30:31,330 --> 00:30:33,820
You know, that third one tasted kinda funny.
423
00:30:35,167 --> 00:30:37,097
Chili dogs.
424
00:30:37,169 --> 00:30:39,099
[Knocking]
425
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,730
I'm looking for Roger Bowman.
Does he live here?
426
00:30:44,809 --> 00:30:48,839
— Yeah.
— I‘m George Knox from the California Angels.
427
00:30:48,913 --> 00:30:51,403
Roger won a photograph at last Friday's game.
428
00:30:51,482 --> 00:30:53,612
- Oh.
_ Uh__
429
00:30:53,685 --> 00:30:56,585
I'd really like to give it to him myself.
430
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,030
[Clears Throat] You're Roger's mom?
431
00:31:11,101 --> 00:31:12,931
Nope.
432
00:31:13,003 --> 00:31:15,903
Aunt? Grandma?
433
00:31:15,973 --> 00:31:18,573
No, no. We're not related.
434
00:31:18,641 --> 00:31:23,201
This is a short—term foster care facility. I run it.
435
00:31:23,279 --> 00:31:25,769
Roger is a ward of the state.
436
00:31:25,848 --> 00:31:27,778
Oh.
437
00:31:30,052 --> 00:31:35,792
Uh, so Roger—— he's got a wild imagination? Always making up stories?
438
00:31:35,858 --> 00:31:39,018
No, actually. He's very grounded.
439
00:31:39,095 --> 00:31:41,025
The fact is,
440
00:31:41,097 --> 00:31:46,327
most kids who are taken from their parents
by the court have a good handle on reality.
441
00:31:46,402 --> 00:31:50,132
— I bet.
— [Bell Rings]
442
00:31:50,206 --> 00:31:53,296
[Roger] Mel Clark strikes him out. Cincinnati wins.
443
00:31:53,376 --> 00:31:56,706
What do you want from him?
Why are you really here?
444
00:31:56,779 --> 00:31:59,709
Uh, young fans. League needs more of 'em.
445
00:32:02,318 --> 00:32:03,838
Roger?
446
00:32:05,488 --> 00:32:07,548
— I got your pictures.
— Thanks.
447
00:32:07,623 --> 00:32:10,353
—Yeah.
—I didn't know you were bringing ‘em.
448
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:13,560
Hmm.
449
00:32:13,627 --> 00:32:16,027
— Looks like a prison photo.
— Yeah.
450
00:32:16,096 --> 00:32:19,216
You said you thought you saw something at the game.
451
00:32:19,300 --> 00:32:21,530
Yeah, angels. Real ones.
452
00:32:21,602 --> 00:32:24,372
Why—Why do you think there would be...
453
00:32:24,438 --> 00:32:27,268
real angels...at the ball game?
454
00:32:27,341 --> 00:32:30,371
Maybe 'cause I prayed for ‘em?
455
00:32:30,443 --> 00:32:33,243
Nothing you were doing was helping. I figured it couldn't hurt.
456
00:32:33,313 --> 00:32:35,583
[Clears Throat] Does he talk?
457
00:32:37,016 --> 00:32:40,536
Of course he talks. He just doesn't like strangers.
458
00:32:40,620 --> 00:32:43,350
Me either. I don't even like my friends.
459
00:32:43,422 --> 00:32:47,922
These angels you think you seen,
do you suppose they're coming back?
460
00:32:47,993 --> 00:32:51,693
— If they feel like it, I guess.
— Oh, this is crazy.
461
00:32:51,763 --> 00:32:54,133
I must be losing it.
What I meant to say is...
462
00:32:54,199 --> 00:32:58,259
uh, uh, do you wanna come to the game tomorrow?
463
00:32:58,337 --> 00:33:01,307
I have an open seat next to the dugout and you can...
464
00:33:01,373 --> 00:33:04,373
get your Aunt Maggie or whoever she is to come along.
465
00:33:04,443 --> 00:33:06,643
— I don't go to baseball games.
— Oh!
466
00:33:06,712 --> 00:33:09,742
— You can go, Roger.
— Can J.P.. come too?
467
00:33:12,149 --> 00:33:14,279
okay-
468
00:33:17,221 --> 00:33:19,651
[Wilder] After their victory over the Jays,
469
00:33:19,723 --> 00:33:22,923
the Angels open a three—game series against the visiting Athletics.
470
00:33:22,992 --> 00:33:27,662
Winning the last game may have given
these Angels a boost. Sizing up the team,
471
00:33:27,731 --> 00:33:30,721
I‘d say they look bouncier today, wouldn‘t you, Wally?
472
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,290
— Absolutely, Ranch. As we saw in last game——
— Keep it minimal, Wally.
473
00:33:34,371 --> 00:33:37,501
They'll like you better.
474
00:33:37,574 --> 00:33:42,274
We‘re 20 minutes from game time and there
are already more people in the seats...
475
00:33:42,345 --> 00:33:45,905
then there were for the last five games combined.
476
00:33:51,821 --> 00:33:54,451
— Here. Here you go. Take that. Okay.
— Thanks.
477
00:33:54,524 --> 00:33:58,964
— Do you want anything else?
— Yeah, peanuts maybe, and nachos if you could.
478
00:33:59,028 --> 00:34:00,428
Yeah.
479
00:34:09,839 --> 00:34:12,859
— Sorry.
— My linen suit!
480
00:34:12,941 --> 00:34:16,641
What do I do? Mustard stains. That's... hot water——
481
00:34:16,712 --> 00:34:18,982
Cold water—— Club soda! That's club soda.
482
00:34:19,047 --> 00:34:22,497
— I got soda.
— No!
483
00:34:24,519 --> 00:34:26,379
I'm all wet.
484
00:34:28,255 --> 00:34:31,875
Get up in front of me, now! We're gonna dry off. Leave your popcorn there.
485
00:34:35,796 --> 00:34:39,656
— Hey, what happened to you?
— Those kids, they're evil.
486
00:34:39,733 --> 00:34:42,293
The big one might be lucky, so keep him happy.
487
00:34:42,369 --> 00:34:45,529
—J.P.., let's go!
— We gonna win today, kid?
488
00:34:45,605 --> 00:34:47,795
— Maybe.
— Maybe?
489
00:34:47,874 --> 00:34:50,934
I don't know. It's your team.
490
00:34:54,181 --> 00:34:56,311
Don't remind me.
491
00:34:58,385 --> 00:35:00,475
Sit down!
492
00:35:03,690 --> 00:35:07,090
— [Slurping]
— Oh, please, don't drink me.
493
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:11,430
— No, no, no, don't, don't! [Screaming]
— [ Gasping]
494
00:35:11,498 --> 00:35:13,758
— [Mumbling]
—Shh. Shh—shh.
495
00:35:13,834 --> 00:35:18,104
This is between you and me, little guy. No one can see me but you.
496
00:35:18,171 --> 00:35:20,601
— Remember?
— Oh... hi.
497
00:35:22,908 --> 00:35:24,968
[A/I
Sit down, already
498
00:35:25,044 --> 00:35:28,844
I left in a hurry yesterday.
I forgot a few of the rules.
499
00:35:28,914 --> 00:35:32,784
Numero uno: don't tell anyone about us.
500
00:35:32,852 --> 00:35:36,342
Now, I heard you already told a little kid and El Capitan.
501
00:35:36,422 --> 00:35:39,592
But nobody else. We hate recognition.
502
00:35:39,658 --> 00:35:41,788
We're a very sensitive group.
503
00:35:41,861 --> 00:35:43,801
If people know we're around,
504
00:35:43,863 --> 00:35:46,023
I wouldn't be able to get an angel within a mile of this team.
505
00:35:46,098 --> 00:35:50,128
— Okay. Are you guys gonna help out today?
— We'll see.
506
00:35:50,202 --> 00:35:52,762
We never make commitments.
507
00:35:52,838 --> 00:35:57,238
We go and come and come and go. We're a capricious crowd.
508
00:35:57,309 --> 00:36:00,369
— What's capri—— What's capricious?
— [J.P.. And David Talking]
509
00:36:00,446 --> 00:36:05,276
[Muffied] Just keep your chin up and your eyes open and enjoy the game.
510
00:36:05,351 --> 00:36:08,721
[Gasps] You popped Al!
511
00:36:08,787 --> 00:36:12,047
— Who's Al?
— Al's the boss angel.
512
00:36:12,124 --> 00:36:15,964
— He was just here, but he's gone now.
— Next time will you tell me sooner?
513
00:36:16,027 --> 00:36:19,117
I'd like to try and see one.
514
00:36:19,197 --> 00:36:21,827
[Roger] Mr. Knox, over here!
515
00:36:21,900 --> 00:36:23,990
Mr. Knox, over here!
516
00:36:24,068 --> 00:36:26,158
Mr. Knox, come on, come on! Mr. Knox!
517
00:36:26,237 --> 00:36:28,757
I just saw an angel!
518
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,570
— You saw an angel?
— Yeah. In my Coke cup.
519
00:36:34,311 --> 00:36:36,841
— In your...Coke cup?
— Yeah.
520
00:36:38,482 --> 00:36:40,422
okay-
521
00:36:40,484 --> 00:36:43,084
[Sighs] I gotta get back to the dugout.
522
00:36:43,152 --> 00:36:46,252
What should I do if I see another one?
523
00:36:46,322 --> 00:36:50,052
Kid, I was thinking of you as a sort of good luck charm.
524
00:36:50,126 --> 00:36:52,646
Not as someone who spiritually hallucinates.
525
00:36:52,728 --> 00:36:56,098
— What's that?
— It means, if you see anything weird,
526
00:36:56,165 --> 00:36:58,425
keep it to yourself.
527
00:36:58,501 --> 00:37:02,441
But, wait! You should know. You're the manager and the angels are here to help.
528
00:37:02,505 --> 00:37:06,595
— And if I don't tell you, you're not gonna know——
— Okay. just calm down.
529
00:37:06,676 --> 00:37:08,966
In baseball, we got... signals.
530
00:37:09,044 --> 00:37:13,544
Make some kind of signal. Okay? I can't come over here every couple of seconds.
531
00:37:13,615 --> 00:37:16,405
Um... I'll go like that, okay?
532
00:37:17,953 --> 00:37:20,053
You do that. That's fine.
533
00:37:20,121 --> 00:37:24,991
— And we can't let David know.
— Yeah, right. Absolutely.
534
00:37:25,060 --> 00:37:29,050
We can't tell David. Can't tell anyone.
535
00:37:34,135 --> 00:37:36,065
[Roger] Thank you.
536
00:37:37,539 --> 00:37:39,669
— Here.
— Yeah.
537
00:37:39,741 --> 00:37:41,001
Thanks.
538
00:37:42,477 --> 00:37:46,967
Thanks. Oh, and excuse me, David, where are the nachos?
539
00:37:49,451 --> 00:37:51,821
— [Laughing]
— [Chuckles]
540
00:37:51,886 --> 00:37:55,076
I'm saving them for later.
541
00:37:55,156 --> 00:37:58,056
[Both Laughing] Sorry!
542
00:37:58,126 --> 00:38:00,356
[chips cracking]
543
00:38:00,428 --> 00:38:03,858
[laughter continues]
544
00:38:03,932 --> 00:38:07,132
[Announcer] Number 17, first baseman, Tom Brewer.
545
00:38:07,202 --> 00:38:10,192
[Wilder] Bass takes the sign. Here‘s the pitch.
546
00:38:10,271 --> 00:38:14,571
— [Bat Cracks]
— And it's lined to left for another base hit.
547
00:38:14,643 --> 00:38:17,843
— [Screaming]
— So it's more bad news for manager Knox...
548
00:38:17,912 --> 00:38:20,542
as he does his dance in the dugout
549
00:38:20,615 --> 00:38:23,205
Mapel waits for the pitch.
550
00:38:24,784 --> 00:38:28,354
— Strike!
— Strike? Aw, come on! Now that's no strike!
551
00:38:28,421 --> 00:38:33,481
— If that was a strike, then you blind as a horse's ass!
— [Gasps]
552
00:38:33,559 --> 00:38:36,719
[Knox Shouting]
553
00:38:36,796 --> 00:38:40,196
Come on. Let me have some—— gimme this.
554
00:38:40,266 --> 00:38:41,926
Mr. Knox.
555
00:38:47,039 --> 00:38:50,599
— Yeah?
— It's nacho butt.
556
00:38:50,676 --> 00:38:53,696
Go buy the kids nachos.
557
00:38:53,778 --> 00:38:56,408
Anything...but nachos.
558
00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:00,280
— Buy them Angel's jackets.
— It's 90 degrees outside.
559
00:39:00,351 --> 00:39:03,251
Get your butt up there now!
560
00:39:06,257 --> 00:39:10,987
—[Sighs]
—You know, it's been four innings and no real angels yet.
561
00:39:11,062 --> 00:39:15,732
I was just thinking, maybe you shouldn't swear so much.
I bet the angels don't like it.
562
00:39:22,273 --> 00:39:25,443
Shhhoot.
563
00:39:26,976 --> 00:39:30,636
You stupid sons of——a kid!
564
00:39:30,714 --> 00:39:35,654
[Speaking Spanish] Man, he is a deadbeat.
565
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:39,049
Let's keep the profanity down!
566
00:39:39,122 --> 00:39:42,462
—[Everybody] Huh?
—I mean it, no swearin'!
567
00:39:42,525 --> 00:39:45,085
That eliminates all speech for most of the team.
568
00:39:45,161 --> 00:39:48,431
[Wilder] So here in the ninth, the Athletics have opted to bring in reliever...
569
00:39:48,498 --> 00:39:53,028
Tom Ruddy to pitch to Angels heavy hitter, Ray Mitchell
570
00:39:55,939 --> 00:39:57,999
[Gasps]
571
00:40:05,014 --> 00:40:08,214
— Oh—ho, wow!
— What happened?
572
00:40:08,284 --> 00:40:12,694
There's an angel right next to Hemmerling. Uh, David, I—I need a drink.
573
00:40:12,756 --> 00:40:15,346
— You have drinks.
— I don't want these. I want somethin' else.
574
00:40:15,424 --> 00:40:17,424
What else?
575
00:40:17,493 --> 00:40:19,483
Uh... coffee.
576
00:40:20,728 --> 00:40:22,818
You drink coffee?
577
00:40:24,799 --> 00:40:27,499
Yeah. Of course. All the time.
578
00:40:27,568 --> 00:40:33,008
All the time. What do you think we are, little kids?
Now, get me a cup or I'll scream.
579
00:40:33,074 --> 00:40:36,104
— How do you take it?
— [Sighs]
580
00:40:37,144 --> 00:40:39,084
In cups.
581
00:40:45,852 --> 00:40:48,882
Mr. Knox! Mr. Knox! Come over here. We got one!
582
00:40:54,894 --> 00:40:57,124
Hey-
583
00:40:57,196 --> 00:40:59,126
What's goin' on?
584
00:40:59,198 --> 00:41:01,758
— There's an angel with Hemmerling.
— What?
585
00:41:01,834 --> 00:41:04,234
There's an angel massaging Hemmerling's shoulders.
586
00:41:13,479 --> 00:41:16,849
[Sighs] This is ridiculous.
587
00:41:16,916 --> 00:41:20,036
I don't know what you see, but there's no one with Hemmerling.
588
00:41:20,119 --> 00:41:22,379
[Roger]She‘s rubbing his shoulders.
589
00:41:23,789 --> 00:41:26,879
— Huh?
— And what should I do about it?
590
00:41:26,959 --> 00:41:28,929
Put him in. Pinch-hit.
591
00:41:28,994 --> 00:41:32,404
I got Mitchell coming up. He's my best hitter.
592
00:41:32,464 --> 00:41:34,864
Hemmerling can't hit the broadside of a barn.
593
00:41:34,934 --> 00:41:38,894
I can't substitute my worst hitter for my best hitter.
594
00:41:38,971 --> 00:41:42,631
— If you want a hit, you'll put in Hemmerling.
— It's crazy! Wacko.
595
00:41:42,708 --> 00:41:44,968
You forget about it.
596
00:41:45,044 --> 00:41:47,544
— But he's got an angel.
— Ah!
597
00:41:49,481 --> 00:41:52,071
What's the worst thing that could happen?
598
00:41:52,150 --> 00:41:55,550
Are we gonna fall out of last place? [Chuckles]
599
00:41:55,620 --> 00:41:57,750
[Inhaling]
600
00:42:02,794 --> 00:42:05,994
Sit down, Mitchell! You're up, Hemmerling.
601
00:42:06,064 --> 00:42:08,404
[Everybody]
Huh?
602
00:42:08,466 --> 00:42:10,826
— What are you talkin' about?
— Yeah?
603
00:42:10,902 --> 00:42:15,002
You heard what I said.
You're out and you're in.
604
00:42:15,073 --> 00:42:17,173
You gotta be stupid!
605
00:42:17,242 --> 00:42:20,912
Hey, get your stuf! [Mock Laughing]
606
00:42:20,979 --> 00:42:23,109
[Screams]
607
00:42:23,181 --> 00:42:28,711
As Mitchell was getting ready to lead off, Knox has suddenly decided to pinch hit.
608
00:42:28,786 --> 00:42:32,976
And he's bringing in Danny Hemmerling, the utility infielder,
609
00:42:33,057 --> 00:42:38,317
who is known, sports fans, for his glove, but definitely, not for his bat.
610
00:42:40,665 --> 00:42:44,855
Hemmerling for Mitchell? Go back to Cincinnati!
611
00:42:49,941 --> 00:42:51,931
— Strike!
— [Crowd Moans]
612
00:42:52,010 --> 00:42:54,540
[Crowd Booing]
613
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,210
Where'd they go?
614
00:43:00,183 --> 00:43:03,353
— [Umpire] Strike!
— [Grunts] See the pitch?
615
00:43:20,737 --> 00:43:22,027
What the——
616
00:43:23,572 --> 00:43:26,562
For goodness sake
617
00:43:26,642 --> 00:43:30,242
I got the hippy—hippy shakes,‘
618
00:43:30,313 --> 00:43:33,343
Yeah, Igot the shakes.
619
00:43:33,415 --> 00:43:36,475
I got the hippy—hippy shakes.‘
620
00:43:36,551 --> 00:43:39,921
— Ah, I can‘t stand still!
— Go, go, come on!
621
00:43:39,988 --> 00:43:42,978
—With the hippy—hippy shakes
—Hey, uh —-
622
00:43:43,058 --> 00:43:46,428
— Yeah, the way I feel now.
— [Screams]
623
00:43:46,494 --> 00:43:49,834
Well the hippy—hippy shakes.
624
00:43:49,898 --> 00:43:53,028
Yeah, real bad.
625
00:43:53,101 --> 00:43:56,371
Oooh the hippy—hippy shakes,‘
626
00:43:56,438 --> 00:43:59,238
— [Groans]
— Well, now you shake it to the left.
627
00:43:59,307 --> 00:44:01,567
— Go, go, go!
— You shake it to the right.
628
00:44:01,643 --> 00:44:04,583
— Throw it!
— Safe!
629
00:44:04,646 --> 00:44:06,706
— Yeah!
— Yeah!
630
00:44:06,781 --> 00:44:11,581
[Wilder] Hemmerling scores for the first time this season and the Angels win the game.
631
00:44:11,653 --> 00:44:16,683
This will go down in the record books. Ladies and gentlemen, this is unbelievable!
632
00:44:16,757 --> 00:44:19,657
This is insanity!
633
00:44:19,727 --> 00:44:24,527
I‘ve never seen anything like this. And obviously, neither have these umps.
634
00:44:24,598 --> 00:44:27,028
I don't know.
[Whistles]
635
00:44:27,100 --> 00:44:30,930
[Roger Cheering]
Yeah! All right!
636
00:44:31,003 --> 00:44:34,773
Something's going on with this kid.
637
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,810
Ladies and gentlemen, can we now say the Angels are on a winning streak?
638
00:44:37,876 --> 00:44:43,366
Or were these last few games just a small blip on the screen of a terminally ill patient?
639
00:44:43,448 --> 00:44:45,968
— [Chuckles]
— Only time will tell.
640
00:44:46,051 --> 00:44:49,611
What is going on? Where are my stats? I'm on the air!
641
00:44:49,688 --> 00:44:54,178
My ass is hanging on the air, and there are no stats. How many errors?
642
00:44:54,259 --> 00:44:57,189
— There were a lot of errors.
— Not as many as in this booth.
643
00:44:57,262 --> 00:45:01,532
Let me tell you, this is not baseball.
644
00:45:01,666 --> 00:45:03,826
— Ow!
— David.
645
00:45:03,902 --> 00:45:09,032
Whatever your duties before, forget ‘em. From now on, these boys will be at all our games.
646
00:45:09,107 --> 00:45:11,267
— [Together] All right!
— That's your job.
647
00:45:11,343 --> 00:45:15,043
I want to remind you, you are gonna fire me on Friday, aren't you?
648
00:45:15,113 --> 00:45:17,213
— You've bonded with the boys.
— Bonded?
649
00:45:17,282 --> 00:45:19,772
— You're gonna stick around, David.
— Yeah, stick around.
650
00:45:19,851 --> 00:45:24,251
— You got job security.
— Job security? Who knew?
651
00:45:24,322 --> 00:45:27,262
So, you're right. Hemmerling came through.
652
00:45:27,325 --> 00:45:29,755
— Yeah, 'cause the angel.
— Ah, whatever.
653
00:45:29,827 --> 00:45:34,587
—We got angels helping the team.
—Ah, well, that may be, but we're winning.
654
00:45:34,665 --> 00:45:38,325
Yeah. All the games, man! Can you believe it?
655
00:45:38,402 --> 00:45:41,702
When we ‘re on the road, you should watch the games on TV.
656
00:45:41,772 --> 00:45:44,212
We'll figure out a way for us to talk on the phone.
657
00:45:44,274 --> 00:45:46,874
You mean, the phone in the dugout you're always yellin' into...
658
00:45:46,942 --> 00:45:49,932
— and banging against the wall and spitting at?
— Yeah.
659
00:45:50,012 --> 00:45:51,952
Yeah.
Cool!
660
00:45:53,782 --> 00:45:57,952
What a game. First time Hemmerling got a hit, let alone a home run.
661
00:45:58,020 --> 00:46:02,480
— It’s ‘cause of the angels; they helped him.
— Get in.
662
00:46:02,558 --> 00:46:05,618
Come on. We don't have all day.
663
00:46:05,694 --> 00:46:09,264
— J.P.. doesn't ride in cars.
— What's the problem? He gets carsick?
664
00:46:09,331 --> 00:46:12,701
Sort of. He used to live in a car with his mom.
665
00:46:12,768 --> 00:46:17,868
He slept in the front curled up like a cat.
When he gets in, his stomachache comes back.
666
00:46:21,276 --> 00:46:23,736
[Horn Honking loudly]
667
00:46:39,061 --> 00:46:41,291
— I'll call you tomorrow
— All right.
668
00:46:41,363 --> 00:46:43,593
Thank you for the ride home.
669
00:46:43,665 --> 00:46:46,155
He speaks?
670
00:46:47,803 --> 00:46:50,803
— Hi You guys have a good time?
— Hi.
671
00:46:50,873 --> 00:46:52,813
— A blast!
— We won!
672
00:46:52,875 --> 00:46:55,535
— Great.
— Where's Miguel?
673
00:46:55,611 --> 00:47:00,741
— I bought him all sorts of stuff
— Miguel got placed in a foster home this afternoon.
674
00:47:00,816 --> 00:47:04,266
– He got placed?
– Miguel’s gone?
675
00:47:04,352 --> 00:47:05,782
Mm—hmm.
676
00:47:05,852 --> 00:47:08,382
Where? With who?
677
00:47:08,455 --> 00:47:10,785
A real nice family from Northridge.
678
00:47:10,857 --> 00:47:14,617
[Crying] I'm gonna miss him. I really liked Miguel.
679
00:47:17,296 --> 00:47:20,156
I only have a license for short—term care.
680
00:47:20,232 --> 00:47:23,432
— You know, Miguel's been here for six months.
— Seven.
681
00:47:23,502 --> 00:47:25,732
Seven months! Right.
682
00:47:25,804 --> 00:47:29,804
That's what happens, you know? I mean... you understand that, Roger?
683
00:47:29,875 --> 00:47:33,105
Oh, don't feel bad, Maggie.
684
00:47:33,179 --> 00:47:37,509
I bet we'll see him again. Maybe in court or something.
685
00:47:37,583 --> 00:47:40,453
Oh, Roger.
[Sighs]
686
00:47:40,519 --> 00:47:43,079
God forbid.
687
00:47:45,191 --> 00:47:47,961
Roger?
688
00:47:48,027 --> 00:47:52,157
— What?
— Are you asleep?
689
00:47:52,231 --> 00:47:55,631
If I was asleep, how would I be talkin' to you?
690
00:47:55,701 --> 00:47:58,471
You could be “sleep-talking."
691
00:48:00,906 --> 00:48:04,736
[Sighs] Look, I'll give a dime tomorrow if you don't say another word.
692
00:48:05,843 --> 00:48:07,943
okay-
693
00:48:11,481 --> 00:48:13,971
– Roger?
– [Groans]
694
00:48:14,051 --> 00:48:17,251
You can forget that dime.
695
00:48:18,655 --> 00:48:21,945
Do you think your parents
are gonna ever come get you?
696
00:48:22,025 --> 00:48:24,285
I don't know.
697
00:48:24,361 --> 00:48:28,631
Mom's not alive, but...my dad's gonna come get me.
698
00:48:28,699 --> 00:48:31,069
I‘m sure of it.
699
00:48:31,134 --> 00:48:33,934
You think my mom's
gonna ever come get me?
700
00:48:35,104 --> 00:48:37,274
Maybe, you know.
701
00:48:37,340 --> 00:48:39,500
It could happen.
702
00:48:40,909 --> 00:48:44,369
Yeah...it could happen.
703
00:48:48,249 --> 00:48:50,809
— Roger?
— What?
704
00:48:50,884 --> 00:48:53,824
I'm happy you see the angels.
705
00:48:56,991 --> 00:48:59,021
Me too.
706
00:49:01,394 --> 00:49:03,494
Good night
707
00:49:08,034 --> 00:49:10,974
[Wilder] It's a beautiful day here in Anaheim...
708
00:49:11,037 --> 00:49:16,237
as the resurgent Angels prepare to meet their longtime nemesis, the Detroit Tigers...
709
00:49:16,309 --> 00:49:19,509
who have won the first five games of their western road trip.
710
00:49:19,579 --> 00:49:23,909
[Wally] They've been the hottest team in the league for the last few weeks, Ranch.
711
00:49:26,119 --> 00:49:28,679
[Announcer] Coming up next week, “Cap Night. “
712
00:49:28,755 --> 00:49:33,885
This will feature a totally white cap with red pinstripes and the Angels‘ logo.
713
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:38,520
It's free for the first 50,000 fans entering Anaheim Stadium.
714
00:49:47,273 --> 00:49:50,213
— I see an angel.
— Already?
715
00:49:52,078 --> 00:49:56,518
I gotta go bathroom. I can't go alone. Bad guys might get me.
716
00:49:56,582 --> 00:49:59,112
You just came back from the bathroom.
717
00:49:59,185 --> 00:50:01,945
— I've gotta go now. Sorry.
— Gimme your Coke.
718
00:50:03,356 --> 00:50:05,976
Gimme the Crackerjacks. Stand up.
719
00:50:06,059 --> 00:50:08,029
Go.
720
00:50:16,069 --> 00:50:19,269
— What's up?
— We got an angel.
721
00:50:20,173 --> 00:50:22,273
But the game hasn't started.
722
00:50:23,442 --> 00:50:25,972
She was with Mel Clark.
723
00:50:35,987 --> 00:50:37,917
Ah, impossible.
724
00:50:37,989 --> 00:50:40,579
She was there. That means Mel should start the game today.
725
00:50:40,658 --> 00:50:43,558
— Mel's arm is gone.
— I don't care. He should start the game.
726
00:50:43,627 --> 00:50:46,647
No way! Besides, he's not even on the active roster.
727
00:50:46,730 --> 00:50:49,790
If the angel pitches with him, he'll be awesome.
728
00:51:02,145 --> 00:51:04,975
You really do see something, don't you?
729
00:51:06,982 --> 00:51:09,422
Yeah...I do.
730
00:51:26,834 --> 00:51:29,134
Good. All right.
731
00:51:42,249 --> 00:51:44,879
[Sighs]
732
00:51:46,353 --> 00:51:49,813
You're off injured reserve and you're starting today.
733
00:51:49,889 --> 00:51:52,219
You talkin' to me?
734
00:51:52,291 --> 00:51:56,851
Yeah. So get your stuff together.
735
00:52:02,234 --> 00:52:05,674
[Wilder] The starting pitcher announced for this game was Dan Prince.
736
00:52:05,738 --> 00:52:09,038
But just moments ago, the Angels made a dramatic change...
737
00:52:09,108 --> 00:52:11,738
and activated the long—injured Mel Clark.
738
00:52:11,811 --> 00:52:15,981
League rules speciy that up until the first pitch is thrown, the roster can be altered,
739
00:52:16,048 --> 00:52:19,918
although I can‘t ever remember this happening so near game time.
740
00:52:19,985 --> 00:52:21,915
— [Flips Switch On]
— Me either, Ranch.
741
00:52:21,987 --> 00:52:24,887
Easy, Wally. Less is more.
742
00:52:26,559 --> 00:52:29,649
— These warm—ups should be interesting
— [Grunts]
743
00:52:29,728 --> 00:52:32,218
Over the plate, man!
744
00:52:32,298 --> 00:52:36,258
[ Wally]
Clark looks a little rusty
745
00:52:36,335 --> 00:52:38,565
Too much time in the whirlpool, Wally.
746
00:52:38,637 --> 00:52:41,727
— [Spits]
— I‘m checking to see...
747
00:52:41,807 --> 00:52:44,967
if Dan Prince pulled a muscle during his warm—up.
748
00:52:45,044 --> 00:52:50,514
There must be some logical explanation as to why Knox would make such a bizarre change.
749
00:52:50,583 --> 00:52:53,923
I have personally checked the stats, sports fans,
750
00:52:53,986 --> 00:52:59,186
and Mel Clark hasn't started a game...in this decade.
751
00:52:59,258 --> 00:53:03,388
[Wally] He looks mighty nervous out there.
752
00:53:03,462 --> 00:53:05,862
Not as nervous as George Knox
753
00:53:24,517 --> 00:53:26,987
Clark takes the sign.
754
00:53:30,922 --> 00:53:33,622
— Talk about heat! Messmer felt that one.
— Ow!
755
00:53:33,691 --> 00:53:36,791
— [Crowd Cheering]
— Wow!
756
00:53:36,861 --> 00:53:41,231
— What an amazing pitch!
— You damn—— darn right.
757
00:53:43,501 --> 00:53:45,931
[Wilder] Well, commit that to memory, Wally,
758
00:53:46,003 --> 00:53:48,943
‘cause he doesn‘t have any more of those in him.
759
00:53:49,006 --> 00:53:52,096
— An angel helped out on that one.
— Good.
760
00:53:53,210 --> 00:53:56,110
— Strike!
— [Crowd Cheers]
761
00:53:56,179 --> 00:53:58,769
— [Ball Pops into Glove]
— Strike!
762
00:53:58,848 --> 00:54:00,708
Mel!
763
00:54:00,782 --> 00:54:03,312
— Way to go!
— All right, Mel!
764
00:54:03,385 --> 00:54:07,145
[Grunting]
765
00:54:10,392 --> 00:54:14,162
It's now the top of the ninth. There are two outs. We've got a full count.
766
00:54:14,229 --> 00:54:17,759
— This could be the Tigers‘ last chance to get back in this game.
— One more.
767
00:54:17,832 --> 00:54:20,602
[Crowd Cheering]
768
00:54:20,669 --> 00:54:22,599
[Grunts]
769
00:54:29,411 --> 00:54:31,381
I told you! I told you!
770
00:54:33,848 --> 00:54:38,838
[Wilder] That's the game! The Angels win one—nothing in a miracle shutout...
771
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:41,290
pitched by the veteran, Mel Clark.
772
00:54:43,692 --> 00:54:47,292
[All Cheering]
773
00:54:49,898 --> 00:54:54,128
How in the world did old noodle—arm pull that off?
774
00:54:54,202 --> 00:54:56,502
And who gets the credit?
775
00:54:56,570 --> 00:54:59,630
George Knox.
George Knox.
776
00:54:59,890 --> 00:55:03,420
We're down in the Angels‘ clubhouse for a talk with manager George Knox.
777
00:55:03,527 --> 00:55:06,017
What inspired you to start Mel?
778
00:55:06,096 --> 00:55:08,956
A feeling. An instinct. A kind of faith.
779
00:55:09,033 --> 00:55:12,303
A faith in what? Has Mel shown this kind of power in practice?
780
00:55:12,369 --> 00:55:15,859
Mel Clark has always shown himself to be an extraordinary athlete.
781
00:55:15,939 --> 00:55:19,099
The rest is about believing
in something or someone.
782
00:55:19,176 --> 00:55:21,106
Now, when did you suddenly
start believing in Clark?
783
00:55:21,178 --> 00:55:23,108
He‘s been sitting on the bench all season.
784
00:55:23,180 --> 00:55:26,780
— [Sighs] I look for signs.
— [Player] It's good to win.
785
00:55:26,850 --> 00:55:29,380
[Knox] Sometimes they come from unexpected places.
786
00:55:29,453 --> 00:55:31,393
— Look, that's enough out of me for today.
— Uh—huh.
787
00:55:31,455 --> 00:55:34,415
Talk to the star of the game. Excuse me.
788
00:55:34,491 --> 00:55:37,551
[Crowd Murmuring]
789
00:55:37,628 --> 00:55:41,028
Something's going on.
790
00:55:41,098 --> 00:55:43,458
Mel? You talk to us about the game?
791
00:55:43,534 --> 00:55:46,444
Well, it—— it feels great to be a winner again.
792
00:55:46,570 --> 00:55:49,230
— We won!
— Yeah. Three in a row.
793
00:55:49,306 --> 00:55:51,566
Oh, I feel good!
794
00:55:51,642 --> 00:55:55,582
— Yeah, me too!
— Me three!
795
00:55:55,646 --> 00:55:57,976
[Sighs]
I owe you guys.
796
00:55:58,048 --> 00:56:01,038
Okay, anything you want.
797
00:56:01,118 --> 00:56:04,948
You name it.
You got it.
798
00:56:06,022 --> 00:56:07,962
All right. Let's play ball!
799
00:56:08,024 --> 00:56:09,964
[Boys]
Yeah!
800
00:56:10,026 --> 00:56:12,356
[Boys Chattering]
801
00:56:12,428 --> 00:56:15,918
— Come on, let's go.
— Come on, let's go.
802
00:56:15,998 --> 00:56:18,868
Slow and easy.
803
00:56:18,935 --> 00:56:21,265
Keep your elbows up.
804
00:56:21,337 --> 00:56:22,927
Here it comes.
805
00:56:23,005 --> 00:56:24,435
Swing hard!
[Groans]
806
00:56:24,506 --> 00:56:27,236
— Great hit, J.P..!
— [Crowd Cheering]
807
00:56:27,308 --> 00:56:29,568
[Boy] Get it, Roger, get it! Get it!
808
00:56:29,643 --> 00:56:32,083
— Yeah! All right!
— [Boy#2] Roger, come on.
809
00:56:32,145 --> 00:56:33,765
— You missed on purpose.
— All right, J.P..!
810
00:56:33,847 --> 00:56:36,907
— All right, who's next?
— [Boys Chanting “Me"]
811
00:56:36,983 --> 00:56:41,043
[Knox] Let's give the kid over on the car a shot.
812
00:56:41,121 --> 00:56:44,561
[Boys Groaning]
813
00:56:44,624 --> 00:56:48,394
— What's your name?
— Marvin Vincent Archer.
814
00:56:48,461 --> 00:56:51,901
— You play any ball before, Marvin?
— No, never played any ball.
815
00:56:51,965 --> 00:56:56,365
Well, this is the perfect time to learn. Come on.
816
00:56:56,436 --> 00:57:00,566
— [Knox] Watch the ball and when I say, “now“, you swing.
— [Boy] Stay sharp, Zack.
817
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:02,570
[Knox] Just do exactly what I say.
818
00:57:02,642 --> 00:57:05,042
Get ready to swing
819
00:57:05,111 --> 00:57:08,311
— Now! Oh! Oh!
— Go, Marvin! Run to first base!
820
00:57:08,381 --> 00:57:10,781
[Crowd]
Go, Marvin, go!
821
00:57:10,850 --> 00:57:13,790
[Boy]

Roger, I'm sorry about today.
996
01:08:16,886 --> 01:08:21,316
Why? Because you lost your stupid baseball game?
997
01:08:21,390 --> 01:08:24,020
No, because you're hurt.
998
01:08:24,093 --> 01:08:27,093
[Sighs] You don't know anything about it.
999
01:08:31,901 --> 01:08:34,841
You know, Roger, when I was growing up,
1000
01:08:34,904 --> 01:08:38,004
I never saw very much of my dad.
1001
01:08:38,073 --> 01:08:40,673
He couldn‘t take care of himself…
1002
01:08:40,742 --> 01:08:43,342
so taking care of me and my brothers...
1003
01:08:43,410 --> 01:08:46,780
was out of the question.
1004
01:08:48,415 --> 01:08:53,505
I'm not sure the pain
that caused ever goes away.
1005
01:08:53,587 --> 01:08:57,677
But I am sure you can't go through life...

01:14:34,618 --> 01:14:38,208
Sometimes a player gets hot...

01:14:38,288 --> 01:14:41,448

1087
01:14:41,525 --> 01:14:45,385
Is it just adrenaline? I don‘t know.
1088
01:14:45,462 --> 01:14:49,302
But, I do believe there are times in life...
1089
01:14:49,365 --> 01:14:52,885
where something stronger, higher,

to my players this year.

You can call it angels.

1103
01:15:33,341 --> 01:15:35,831
on behalf of George Knox
1104
01:15:35,910 --> 01:15:38,000
Uh, what's your name?
What's your business here?
1105
01:15:38,079 --> 01:15:43,709
My name is Maggie Nelson.
I take care of foster kids.
1106
01:15:43,785 --> 01:15:47,145
One of these boys is, uh,
the child who can see angels.
1107
01:15:47,222 --> 01:15:52,132
He could stand up right now and tell you exactly what‘s happened..
1108
01:15:52,193 --> 01:15:54,183
and I know you'd just laugh at him.
1109
01:15:54,262 --> 01:15:57,362
But, when a professional football player...
1110
01:15:57,432 --> 01:16:02,202
drops to one knee to thank God after making
a touchdown, nobody laughs at that.
1111
01:16:02,270 --> 01:16:07,170
Or when a pitcher crosses himself before going to the mound, nobody laughs at that
1112
01:16:07,242 --> 01:16:12,812
Seems like you ‘re saying it's okay to believe
in God, but it's not okay to believe in angels.

01:16:12,881 --> 01:16:14,911
Now, I thought they were on the same team.

Every kid I have ever taken care of..

01:16:32,666 --> 01:16:36,626
has been looking for someone to love: an angel.
1120
01:16:36,703 --> 01:16:42,273
You've got to have faith.
You've got to believe.
1121
01:16:42,342 --> 01:16:44,742
You've got to look inside yourself.
1122
01:16:44,811 --> 01:16:47,781
The footprints of an angel are love.
1123
01:16:47,848 --> 01:16:51,378
And where there is love,
miraculous things can happen.
1124
01:16:52,252 --> 01:16:54,852
I've seen it.
1125
01:16:54,921 --> 01:16:57,551
I'd also like to say something.
1126
01:16:59,425 --> 01:17:02,215

Tonight, George Knox will send his Angels,

When I came here this season, I didn't believe in you guys.

But, when you stood up this morning, you gave me back my reason to believe.

—Yeah!
—All right!
1157
01:19:15,159 --> 01:19:19,789
He‘s been their big—game guy since he returned to the lineup in July.
1158
01:19:19,863 --> 01:19:22,533
So Clarks had a rocky start here in the first.
1159
01:19:22,599 --> 01:19:26,699
He’s got runners on second and third with two outs and Darren at bat.
1160
01:19:26,770 --> 01:19:29,800
[Crowd Chattering]
1161
01:19:29,872 --> 01:19:32,072
[Groans]
1162
01:19:32,141 --> 01:19:34,171
Darren drives the ball to left.
1163
01:19:34,242 --> 01:19:36,842
It‘s fair! One run will score and here comes Cooper!
1164
01:19:36,911 --> 01:19:40,181
Norton gets to it. It's gonna be close. Here comes the ball!
1165
01:19:40,247 --> 01:19:43,177
Cooper slides.
He‘s safe!
1166
01:19:43,250 --> 01:19:47,410
The fans don ‘t like the call, but the Sox
go up 2-0 and we ‘re still in the top of the first.
1167
01:19:47,488 --> 01:19:49,418
— You got 'im now! Go, go, yeah!
— [Sighs]
1168
01:19:49,490 --> 01:19:53,220
— [Wilder] Clark pitches to Young
— [Groans]
1169
01:19:53,294 --> 01:19:55,824
He loops one over second base
and here comes Garcia!
1170
01:19:55,896 --> 01:19:58,086
[Groans]
1171
01:19:58,165 --> 01:20:02,255
Whoa! Garcia makes a spectacular save to end the inning
1172
01:20:02,336 --> 01:20:05,526
With the Angels behind 2-0,
Clark‘s really struggling
1173
01:20:05,606 --> 01:20:08,036
And with one out in the top
of the fifth...
1174
01:20:08,108 --> 01:20:11,438
and a man on first and second,
Beasley comes to bat.
1175
01:20:11,511 --> 01:20:14,101
Anybody got any, uh... you know?
1176
01:20:16,181 --> 01:20:19,151
[Crowd Chattering]
1177
01:20:19,218 --> 01:20:24,418
— No question he's tiring, Wally, and Knox knows it.
— Ball one.
1178
01:20:24,490 --> 01:20:28,120
You had to expect this. They're getting Tiller up now in the bullpen.
1179
01:20:28,193 --> 01:20:32,793
[Sniffs, Coughs]
1180
01:20:32,864 --> 01:20:35,594
[Groans]
1181
01:20:35,665 --> 01:20:39,155
— [Wilder] Oh, Mitchell makes a great play..
— Yeah!
1182
01:20:39,236 --> 01:20:41,756
— and gets the force at third
— All right! All right!
1183
01:20:41,838 --> 01:20:44,708
— All right! All right!
— Go, baby, come on!
1184
01:20:44,774 --> 01:20:48,614
[ Wilder] Here in the sixth, Garcia's on first with a single as the Angels...
1185
01:20:48,677 --> 01:20:51,647
try to battle their way back
into the ball game.
1186
01:20:51,714 --> 01:20:54,114
That brings up Ray Mitchell
1187
01:20:54,183 --> 01:20:58,243
Ray's been hot as wildfire the second half of this miraculous season——
1188
01:20:58,320 --> 01:21:03,310
But, as many of you know, in the past Mitchell
has choked when it came to pressure situations.
1189
01:21:03,392 --> 01:21:07,352
You got this one, Ray! You hear me? You can do it!
1190
01:21:14,937 --> 01:21:17,497
[Wilder]
Mitchell connects!
1191
01:21:17,573 --> 01:21:21,273
— It‘s hit deep!
— Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
1192
01:21:21,343 --> 01:21:23,643
— [Wilder] And it's gone!
— [Crowd Cheers Hysterically]
1193
01:21:23,711 --> 01:21:27,011
— Ray Mitchell has just hit..
— All right! Yeah!
1194
01:21:27,081 --> 01:21:30,881
a monster home run with a man on to tie the game here in the sixth.
1195
01:21:30,952 --> 01:21:33,892
Hey! Whoo!
All right!
1196
01:21:37,091 --> 01:21:39,061
[Cheering Continues]
1197
01:21:41,462 --> 01:21:44,332
[Laughing, Cheering]
1198
01:21:44,399 --> 01:21:47,889
Don't you stop!
1199
01:21:47,969 --> 01:21:51,029
[Wilder] Clark has his back to the wall here in the seventh...
1200
01:21:51,105 --> 01:21:53,665
as the Sox are threatening again
with two men on base.
1201
01:21:53,741 --> 01:21:55,681
Okay, we're holding our own.
1202
01:21:55,743 --> 01:21:59,373
Holding our own. Holding our own. Go! Hang in there!
1203
01:21:59,447 --> 01:22:01,417
[Wilder] Clark definitely could use an angel now..
1204
01:22:01,482 --> 01:22:04,422
as he ‘s tiring
late in the game.
1205
01:22:06,988 --> 01:22:10,478
— [Crowd Cheering, Cheering Gets Louder]
— [ Groans ]
1206
01:22:10,558 --> 01:22:13,488
Yeah! Yeah.
1207
01:22:13,561 --> 01:22:16,501
[Wally] There seems to be some sort of magic..
1208
01:22:16,564 --> 01:22:19,234
in the way his team is supporting him, Ranch.
1209
01:22:19,300 --> 01:22:21,230
1210
01:22:21,302 --> 01:22:24,762
— Hey, kid. How you doin'?
— Fine. Al!
1211
01:22:24,838 --> 01:22:29,168
— Hey, kiddo, sharp outfit. I wish I had one.
— Thanks.
1212
01:22:29,243 --> 01:22:32,213
Gee, I am glad to see you. You know, I was afraid you guys...
1213
01:22:32,279 --> 01:22:36,109
wouldn't show up today since, you know, a lot of people know about the angels now.
1214
01:22:36,182 --> 01:22:38,122
No one's coming.
1215
01:22:38,184 --> 01:22:42,054
Championships have to be won on their own. It's a rule.
1216
01:22:42,121 --> 01:22:45,611
Oh. Well, then, what are you doing here?
1217
01:22:45,691 --> 01:22:47,751
I came here to check on Mel.
1218
01:22:47,827 --> 01:22:49,727
He‘s comin' up soon.
1219
01:22:49,795 --> 01:22:52,855
— He's gonna be one of us.
— Y—You mean he's——
1220
01:22:52,932 --> 01:22:56,462
Ah, he smoked for years. It's always a mistake.
1221
01:22:56,535 --> 01:22:59,595
He ‘s got six months left.
1222
01:22:59,672 --> 01:23:02,972
Doesn‘t know anything‘s wrong yet.
1223
01:23:03,042 --> 01:23:06,532
— No.
— Don't you worry.
1224
01:23:06,612 --> 01:23:11,382
He's well taken care of. You concentrate on your own life now.
1225
01:23:11,450 --> 01:23:13,940
We expect great things from you, kid.
1226
01:23:14,020 --> 01:23:17,250
We'll all be watching. You remember that.
1227
01:23:17,323 --> 01:23:21,383
Even though you can't see us, we're always watching.
1228
01:23:29,302 --> 01:23:33,472
[Crowd Cheering]
1229
01:23:36,075 --> 01:23:39,005
[Spectators]
Come on, Angels! Angels!
1230
01:23:39,078 --> 01:23:41,408
[Wilder] With a man on and one out in the eighth,
1231
01:23:41,480 --> 01:23:44,420
Clark is showing definite signs of fatigue. ..
1232
01:23:44,483 --> 01:23:47,983
— as he pitches to March.
— Come on, March. Put it here, man.
1233
01:23:48,054 --> 01:23:51,654
— [ Wilder] Ball three.
— [Crowd Groans]
1234
01:23:51,724 --> 01:23:56,094
— [Man] Take your time, Clark.
— [Man] Get ready to go, guys!
1235
01:23:56,162 --> 01:23:58,722
Easy, Mel.
1236
01:24:03,836 --> 01:24:05,996
[Wilder] Here‘s the pitch.
And March grounds to Martinez
1237
01:24:06,072 --> 01:24:09,602
They get Darren at second.
Garcia throws. Double play!
1238
01:24:09,675 --> 01:24:11,765
— Yeah!
— Yeah! Yeah!
1239
01:24:11,844 --> 01:24:16,844
[Wilder] And once again, solid defense bails Clark out of a jam!
1240
01:24:16,916 --> 01:24:18,846
— [Laughing]
— How'd you like that, Coach?
1241
01:24:18,918 --> 01:24:21,408
Oh, way to go!
Way to go! Hey!
1242
01:24:21,487 --> 01:24:24,747
[Wilder] It's still tied up here in the bottom of the eighth,
1243
01:24:24,824 --> 01:24:30,524
but the Angels have Garcia at bat and Martinez on third with the go—ahead run.
1244
01:24:30,595 --> 01:24:33,885
Martinez goes on the pitch.
Garcia bunts!
1245
01:24:33,965 --> 01:24:36,795
And it's a squeeze play!
Here ‘s the throw
1246
01:24:36,868 --> 01:24:41,858
— Martinez scores! And the Angels take the lead!
— [Cheering]
1247
01:24:41,940 --> 01:24:45,710
— Yeah!
— [Crowd Cheering]
1248
01:24:45,777 --> 01:24:48,367
Yeah!
1249
01:24:51,648 --> 01:24:54,208
Yeah!
All right!
1250
01:25:03,127 --> 01:25:05,057
[Grunts]
1251
01:25:05,129 --> 01:25:08,719
[Wilder] Messmer pops out to Gaboyan to end the inning.
1252
01:25:08,799 --> 01:25:13,459
So as we enter the ninth, the Angels are only three outs away from the pennant...
1253
01:25:13,537 --> 01:25:16,767
if they can just hold on to this 3-2 lead.
1254
01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:19,310
- Hey, Mel.
- [Boy] Hey, Mel, you‘re my dad's favorite player!
1255
01:25:19,376 --> 01:25:21,306
- Let's finish this.
- We got ‘em.
1256
01:25:21,378 --> 01:25:23,638
All right. All right. three outs, boys.
1257
01:25:23,714 --> 01:25:26,014
- Let's do it!
- [Wilder] So with the championship on the line,
1258
01:25:26,082 --> 01:25:28,812
manager George Knox elects to send a tired Mel Clark...
1259
01:25:28,884 --> 01:25:32,294
out to face the heart of the White Sox lineup.
1260
01:25:32,354 --> 01:25:36,654
- He's all alone.
- [Man] Let‘s go. Come on, Angels.
1261
01:25:36,725 --> 01:25:38,745
[Crowd Cheering]
1262
01:25:38,826 --> 01:25:42,846
Don't worry. He'll get an angel. Mel always gets an angel.
1263
01:25:48,736 --> 01:25:53,166
[ Wilder] Clark takes the sign for his first pitch to Gasper.
1264
01:25:53,240 --> 01:25:55,300
Let ‘s see if he has anything left.
1265
01:25:55,376 --> 01:25:58,866
Gasper gets a piece of it!
1266
01:26:00,380 --> 01:26:05,510
And it falls in for a single!
The tying run is now on first.
1267
01:26:10,557 --> 01:26:12,957
[Sighs]
1268
01:26:15,862 --> 01:26:19,392
-All right.
- [Phone Rings]
1269
01:26:19,466 --> 01:26:22,656
- We need Sanford. Get him ready.
- [ Sighs]
1270
01:26:26,206 --> 01:26:30,336
[Wilder] They're getting Sanford up in the bullpen.
1271
01:26:30,410 --> 01:26:34,070
[Coughing, Sniffs]
1272
01:26:37,717 --> 01:26:40,477
- [Grunts]
- [Wilder] He bunts!
1273
01:26:40,553 --> 01:26:43,653
Clark fields it cleanly and gets the runner at first,
1274
01:26:43,723 --> 01:26:48,093
- but Gasper advances to second on the sacrifice.
- All right! One down!
1275
01:26:48,161 --> 01:26:53,331
[Wilder] White Sox now have the tying run in scoring position with Darren at bat.
1276
01:26:56,735 --> 01:27:00,465
- [Cracking]
- It's in the hole! Garcia dives! He gets it!
1277
01:27:00,539 --> 01:27:03,269
The throw is off-balance.
Not in time!
1278
01:27:03,341 --> 01:27:05,871
- Safe! He's safe.
- Are you sure?
1279
01:27:05,943 --> 01:27:11,783
Gasper is held on second, but the go—ahead run is now on first with only one away.
1280
01:27:11,849 --> 01:27:14,909
[Crowd Booing]
1281
01:27:17,889 --> 01:27:21,519
[Man Yelling]
Hey, Knox, wake up!
1282
01:27:21,592 --> 01:27:25,462
[Wilder]
Clark looks very tired
1283
01:27:25,530 --> 01:27:30,130
- [Grunts]
- Gaboyan swings and smashes it deep to left center!
1284
01:27:30,200 --> 01:27:34,190
This is trouble! Williams got a good jump on the ball!
1285
01:27:36,205 --> 01:27:39,135
- Somebody better take charge!
- [Williams] I got it!
1286
01:27:41,377 --> 01:27:45,007
- [Crowd Cheering]
- And Ben Williams saves the game for now...
1287
01:27:45,080 --> 01:27:48,570
- with a spectacular catch!
- [Wally] And a great throw to hold the runner at third.
1288
01:27:48,651 --> 01:27:51,591
Twit!
1289
01:28:06,502 --> 01:28:12,032
[Wilder] Oh! And he hits Birch in the back on the first pitch.
1290
01:28:12,107 --> 01:28:14,537
That loads the bases.
1291
01:28:14,609 --> 01:28:19,439
And Kesey, the league R.B.I. leader, is up next.
1292
01:28:19,514 --> 01:28:25,284
[Announcer] Number 32, Kit “Hit or Die“ Kesey
1293
01:28:34,195 --> 01:28:37,285
[ Wilder] I can ‘t believe he ‘s leaving Clark in the game.
1294
01:28:37,365 --> 01:28:39,455
Any hit scores a run.
1295
01:28:39,534 --> 01:28:44,274
- There's an angel there now, right?
- No.
1296
01:28:48,443 --> 01:28:51,473
[Wilder]
The runners take their leads.
1297
01:28:56,550 --> 01:28:59,710
And Kesey got a good piece
of that one, but it's foul
1298
01:28:59,786 --> 01:29:04,486
- We've got one strike.
- [Sighs]
1299
01:29:07,828 --> 01:29:12,888
Sanford is ready in the bullpen.
1300
01:29:26,847 --> 01:29:29,937
- Ball one!
- [Wally] His arm has to be tired
1301
01:29:30,017 --> 01:29:32,917
He's thrown 156 pitches.
1302
01:29:32,986 --> 01:29:37,076
- [Crowd Cheering]
- [Exhales]
1303
01:29:45,732 --> 01:29:48,932
- Ball two!
- There's one coming, right, Roger?
1304
01:29:49,002 --> 01:29:53,412
I don't know, JP...
I-- I don't think so.
1305
01:29:55,876 --> 01:29:58,036
[Grunts]
1306
01:29:58,111 --> 01:30:02,911
And Clark just misses nicking Kesey and the count goes to 3 and 1.
1307
01:30:02,983 --> 01:30:06,253
- He's way behind the batter now
- [Sighing]
1308
01:30:06,319 --> 01:30:10,619
-Any angels?
- No.
1309
01:30:15,562 --> 01:30:19,162
— [Grunts]
— [Cracking]
1310
01:30:19,232 --> 01:30:23,072
[Wilder] And Kesey jumps on it! This could be the game!
1311
01:30:23,135 --> 01:30:25,065
It‘s deep!
It‘s down the line!
1312
01:30:25,137 --> 01:30:28,437
If it stays fair, it's outta here!
1313
01:30:28,507 --> 01:30:31,137
-[Wally] It's gonna be close.
-Foul, foul, foul!
1314
01:30:31,210 --> 01:30:33,840
[Wilder]
But it's foul
1315
01:30:33,913 --> 01:30:37,113
It comes down to a full count.
Two outs, the top of the ninth.
1316
01:30:37,183 --> 01:30:40,213
The Angels lead by one run, and for Mel Clark,
1317
01:30:40,351 --> 01:30:43,221
this is the pressure cooker!
1318
01:30:43,354 --> 01:30:48,884
- I gotta take him out.
-[Sighs] No. Please, just let him try.
1319
01:30:48,960 --> 01:30:51,790
He's all used up. He can't do it by himself.
1320
01:30:51,863 --> 01:30:53,803
Yes, he can.
1321
01:30:53,865 --> 01:30:57,795
All he has to do is believe.
1322
01:30:58,969 --> 01:31:01,439
[Sighs]
1323
01:31:12,916 --> 01:31:17,146
[Whispering]
1324
01:31:27,865 --> 01:31:30,525
[Wilder]
And Knox will pull Mel Clark.
1325
01:31:30,601 --> 01:31:35,771
All I can say is, it's about time.
1326
01:31:36,974 --> 01:31:41,384
- [Sighs]
- [Sniffies]
1327
01:31:47,316 --> 01:31:49,876
I got nothing left.
1328
01:31:49,952 --> 01:31:53,082
Yeah, you do. You got one strike left.
1329
01:31:53,156 --> 01:31:55,616
[Sighs]
1330
01:32:03,199 --> 01:32:05,899
You got an angel with you right now.
1331
01:32:05,968 --> 01:32:08,898
Just got here and he's gonna help.
1332
01:32:27,323 --> 01:32:32,323
- Kid sees an angel?
- Yeah, he must. That's the signal.
1333
01:33:12,468 --> 01:33:15,198
Could happen.
1334
01:33:44,499 --> 01:33:46,519
Okay-
1335
01:33:46,600 --> 01:33:48,590
[Chuckles]
1336
01:33:48,669 --> 01:33:50,689
Go get him for the championship.
1337
01:33:50,770 --> 01:33:53,530
- [Crowd Cheering]
- All right!
1338
01:33:53,606 --> 01:33:55,596
- Come on!
- Yes!
- Come on, Mel!
1339
01:33:55,675 --> 01:33:57,605
- Come on, Mel!
- He still has it!
1340
01:33:57,677 --> 01:33:59,607
[Wilder] Ladies and gentlemen, I don ‘t believe it,
1341
01:33:59,679 --> 01:34:03,049
Knox will let Clark stay in to pitch to Kesey.
1342
01:34:03,116 --> 01:34:07,346
This is not smart baseball
This is ridiculous--
1343
01:34:11,691 --> 01:34:14,591
[Cheering]
1344
01:34:14,661 --> 01:34:17,491
Let's go, my brother. Come on.

[Knox Screaming]
1347
01:35:12,552 --> 01:35:15,492
[Wilder] He's got it and it's over! He's got it!
1348
01:35:15,555 --> 01:35:19,915
- I can ‘t believe it!
- [Wally] The Angels win the pennant! We won!
1349
01:35:19,993 --> 01:35:23,953
-All right,JP…! We won, we won!
- Yea! Yeah!
1350
01:35:24,030 --> 01:35:26,520
[Roger Laughing, Screaming]
1351
01:35:26,599 --> 01:35:30,299
- There are angels!
- Not this time, Mel. You did it yourselfl
1352
01:35:30,370 --> 01:35:32,340
[Both Laughing]
1353
01:35:32,405 --> 01:35:35,335

Ranch.
1362
01:36:02,568 --> 01:36:05,588
- You're fired.
- You can't fire me!
1363
01:36:05,670 --> 01:36:07,760
I got a contract!
1364

I'm Ranch Wilder!
1365
01:36:09,975 --> 01:36:14,105
Easy, Ranch. Less is more.
1366
01:36:14,179 --> 01:36:16,579
And the Angels have won it!

1371
01:36:37,636 --> 01:36:41,936
[Maggie]
It's great! Well done!
1372
01:36:42,007 --> 01:36:46,637
- Oh, Roger, your social worker called
- She did?
1373
01:36:48,313 --> 01:36:51,843
- [JP...] What they want?
- Was it about my father?
1374
01:36:51,917 --> 01:36:55,367
- No, but it is about finding you a permanent home.
- [Crying]
1375
01:36:55,453 --> 01:36:57,823
Oh, JP…, come back.
1376

— JP…, come back!
- [Door Slams]
1377
01:37:05,496 --> 01:37:11,256
You know, nothing's probably ever as good as your real parents.
1378
01:37:11,335 --> 01:37:15,925
But there's some people who could care for you...
1379
01:37:16,005 --> 01:37:18,435
and love you and take care of you.
1380
01:37:18,507 --> 01:37:22,637
Yeah.
I guess so.
1381
01:37:22,711 --> 01:37:25,771
Yeah.
1382
01:37:27,683 --> 01:37:31,783
Roger, the person
who called social service,
1383
01:37:31,854 --> 01:37:33,954
that was me.
1384
01:37:34,022 --> 01:37:37,462
I want to try and be your dad.
1385
01:37:37,526 --> 01:37:40,286
I want you to come
and live at my house.
1386

You okay, honey?

No way.
I-I can't.
1389
01:37:55,375 --> 01:37:57,305
You know, I can't leave JP…
1390
01:37:58,812 --> 01:38:02,442
I can never leave JP…He's coming too.
1391
01:38:02,516 --> 01:38:04,746
- He is?

- Wait, what about Maggie?
- No.
1395
01:38:16,596 --> 01:38:19,926
My work is here. Don't worry.
1396
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:22,760
There are plenty of little angels looking for a home.
1397
01:38:22,836 --> 01:38:27,766
- So-- so we're gonna be a family.
- Yep.
1398
01:38:27,841 --> 01:38:31,711
- I'm gonna have a daddy.
- [Laughing]
1399
01:38:35,614 --> 01:38:38,524
