[Jacqueline] Sister Bertrille
has always claimed

that the most important part
of our orphanage curriculum

is baseball.
She says it builds character.

But until now
she has never made it clear

what kind of character
she was talking about.

♪♪

[kids yelling indistinctly]

She's safe. She's safe.

Yeah.
No, she isn't.

You can't do that.
[Fernando] It's illegal.

[Armando] No, it isn't.
No.

You're out.
Look at the rule book.

I bet you won't find it
in the rule book.

[Ricardo] Reverend Mother.
Yes, Ricardo.

It's illegal to steal
like that, isn't it?

It is illegal to steal
at any time.

No, the rule book doesn't say
you can't.

This rule book does.
Oh, no,

we're not talking about--
You're out.

[Jacqueline] And that is one way, I suppose,

that character is built.

♪♪

♪♪

[Bertrille] All right. Now, we've been here
for about an hour and half,

and all you've done
is argue and complain.

Sister Bertrille,
I wasn't complaining.

I was just kind of wishing
my mitt was big enough

for my hand to fit into it.
Well, what's more important?

That glove
you can catch a ball with

or that good old
do-or-die spirit?

The old do-or-die spirit.

Right. And a second ago,

Ricardo was beefing
about the bat.

I just happened to mention
it's cracked.

Well, it's cracked
for all of us, isn't it?

We didn't let a little crack
get us down, huh?

No, Sister.
No.

So get
a little practicing in?

Gee,
all we ever do is practice.

Can't we have a game
with somebody?

Yeah.
Yeah.

Yeah.

What are you talking about?

You're too small
to even play.

Yeah?

Armando may be small,

but he's-- He's tricky.

Yeah. Sister Bertrille said
when we play the game,

I'm gonna be the official
pinch hitter.

Right. So why don't you tie
your shoelace.

Listen, why don't we get
pitching practice in?

[all speaking indistinctly]

BOY 1: Yeah, come on.
BOY 2: Let's go.

BOY 3:
Hurry up now.

Boy, I hope I get to play
pinch hitter

before I'm adopted.

Fernando.

One bed pillow is missing
from the linen closet.

A bed pillow?
A bed pillow.

Okay. Play ball.

Come on, right now.

Oh.

[Jacqueline] Sister Bertrille knew exactly
how to handle the problem

of discontented children.
She gave in

and arranged a game
with a strong La Mar team

in nearby San Juan.

As always,
with Sister Bertrille,

one complication
led to another.

Hi.

Hi!

Ah. Hi.

How's everything going?

[sighs]

Fine. And yourself?

Fine.

What do you want?

Well, I just wanted to know

if you knew whether or not
it was illegal.

What's illegal?

To use a baseball
in this condition

in the major leagues.

Let me see that.

Who says this is a baseball?

Okay. I got the idea.

I'll get you a new one.

Oh. Thank you, Carlos.

And, uh...

here's the whole list.

The list of what?
Of the stuff we're gonna need

to play
the La Mar School Indians

on Saturday.
[chuckles]

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

I want you to know
even if the Indians torpedo us,

we'll still pray
for your soul.

Sister Bertrille,
bribery will get you nowhere.

[mouthing words]

Sister, I don't want you
to pray for me.

Would you--? Sister.

Will you please stop that?

Too late. Amen.

[sighs]

Okay. Give me that.

Now, I wanna point out
one thing.

I didn't mention it here,
and I didn't have time

to get it into the prayer,

but the team also needs
uniforms.

Uniforms?

Here. Goodbye.

No.

♪♪

Armando.

[camera shutter clicks]

Did you get my picture too?

Yup.
And I'm going to send it

to the nice people
who are adopting you.

And will you tell them
I'm the official pinch hitter?

Yes.
If you tie your shoelace.

Hi, Reverend Mother.

Good morning, boys.

Reverend Mother,
say hello to our big leaguers.

Well, Señor Ramirez
really is a kind

and wonderful friend, isn't he?

♪♪

Oh, dear.

Oh, my.

Reverend Mother,
all the sponsors are entitled

to some advertising.

I see.

Well, the opening commercial
may stay.

The closing commercial
must go.

Okay, team,
now listen to me.

We need some signals.

Now, say Julio here
gets a two-backer, right--

Sister Bertrille, excuse me,
but is it true

the La Mar Indians
have a girl on their team?

A girl?

I heard
they have one.

You got me.

Well, anyway,
Julio is safe on second,

I'm coaching on third.

Now,
I want him to steal.

So I do this.

Which doesn't mean
anything.

Then I do this.

[sighs]

Which doesn't mean
anything either.

Why are doing it?

To confuse the other team.

By now they're going crazy.

Then all of a sudden,
I do this.

That means take a good lead

and start for third
on the next pitch.

But then if I do this,

that means
forget the whole thing.

Now--
Sister Bertrille.

When do I get in
some pinch hitting practice?

Oh. Later.

But first,
tie your shoe. Now...

[Jacqueline] By the final afternoon
before the big game,

thanks to Sister Bertrille's
great spirit

and undaunted pertinacity,

the San Tanco
Orphanage Team,

even though
a very definite underdog,

was steamed up to win.

Hold it. Hold it now.

Fernando. Look at you.

You're choking up on the bat
so much.

You gotta hold it down
like this, see?

Spread your feet apart, wide.
Okay.

Put your weight on this foot.
Just like-- Gotta--

Okay, now--
Here, let me show you.

Get over here.
I'll show you.

I'll show you what I mean.

Okay, let's have your fastball,
Marcello.

Come on.
Here, batter, batter, batter.

See? Now, do it right.

Well, hello.

I came to see
my team,

my great coach,
my great pitcher.

Fernando,
show me where she start you.

[boys cheering]

No, wait a minute.

We can't afford
to lose that ball.

♪♪

You know, Sister, if you ever
get out of your batting slump,

you can be
a great ballplayer.

Hmm.

Okay. Batter up out there.

DELGADO:Hey!

Ramirez.

Oh. Excuse me, Sister.

Okay, let's get a little hustle
in this game.

All right, keep going.
Come on.

[Carlos] Hello, Delgado.

What brings you here?

Curiosity.

So this is the team
you're sponsoring, huh?

Uh-huh.
[laughs]

They're cute.
I don't like the way you laugh.

[Bertrille whoops]

How about a little bet?
Just for laughs.

Why not? How much?
Ten dollars.

Oh, come now.
Fifty dollars?

You don't have much belief
in your team.

A hundred dollars.
You got a deal.

When do I get in a little
pinch-hitting practice?

You're next, honey.

That peanut
is your pinch-hitter?

[laughs]

Mickey Mantle
was also a peanut.

To show you I'm not afraid
of your Mickey Mantle,

how about
doubling the bet?

You are on.

[chuckles]

Sister Bertrille.

I'm afraid that I have
a disappointment

for your official
pinch hitter.

The couple who are adopting him
just called me,

and they're here
in San Juan,

and they're coming to take him
tomorrow, in the morning.

Oh, no, Reverend Mother.

He's just gotta play
in that game.

It'll break his heart.
I know,

but I don't know what I can do
about it, Sister Bertrille.

Armando.

I would like to see you
in my office please.

Okay, Reverend Mother.

Just as soon
as I get my third strike.

[Carlos] Hey, Marcello. Oop.

Thanks.

I don't want
to rub it in, Carlos,

but we have a girl
on our team who can--

Excuse me. The Indians
have a girl on their team?

That's right.

So what?

Show Mr. Delgado
your fastball.

Vroom!

He's so fast,
you can't see it.

Come on, show him.

Do they let her bat?

In the cleanup spot.

Her average is 360.

So what?

Show him your fastball,
come on.

That's a fastball?

It looks more like
a bowling ball to me.

[laughs]
[sarcastically] Ha-ha-ha.

I'll see you
at the game tomorrow.

Fine.

Marcello, loosen up.

Just a little tight,
that's all. Loosen up.

Carlos, he's really got
great stuff.

He's just a little wild
right now.

I can't help it.
She makes me nervous.

Who? Who makes you
nervous?

The girl on their team.

Well, she's not
up to bat now.

But she will be.

♪♪

Marcello.
Are you still awake?

Listen, will you take my word
for it?

Pitching to a girl
is just the same

as pitching to a boy.

But supposing
I accidentally hit her

with one of my fastballs?

Well, then she walks to first,
just like anyone else.

But supposing she cries?

If she cries,
she's no ballplayer.

Now go to sleep.

♪♪

Armando,
why aren't you in bed?

I'm not sleepy.

Sister Bertrille,

why can't I stay
for the game tomorrow?

Because you
and your new mother and father

have to be in Miami
by tomorrow night.

He's a very important man
at the university,

and they're presenting him
with an honorary degree.

But what are you gonna do
without a pinch hitter?

Well, it'll weaken the bench,
all right,

but I guess
those are the breaks.

I don't wanna weaken
the bench.

The team needs me.

Yeah. They do, all right.

But so do
your new mother and father.

But...

Boy.

Just as I get a uniform.

I never had a uniform before
in all my life.

You never had a home before
either.

But a uniform is different.

Well, I'll explain that
to you,

but first will you button
your pajamas?

[Jacqueline] And so the big day arrived.

Sister Bertrille had given
the team the old pep talk.

Now, team,
what are we gonna do?

[all] We're gonna win!

Right! Let's get going!

Bye, Armando.

wonderful friends.

Sure. Lucky.

Umpire,

What a time

You'll love your
new school, Armando.

The children learn
so much.

I've been learning
a lot too.

Did you know
that Sister Bertrille

puts her left hand
on her right shoulder.

It doesn't mean anything,
but if she puts her right hand

on her other shoulder,

that doesn't mean anything
either.

But if she scratches her arm,
it means steal third.

But if she does this,
just forget everything.

It confuses them. See?

Isn't that interesting?

Yeah.

What good is it
gonna do me now?

What are you looking at me
like that for?

What do you

when on to the field

with his shoelace flying
came...

Sister Bertrille, I'm back.

Oh, honey, how--?
What happened?

My parents couldn't stand it.
They said they felt like ogres.

I'm not questioning his call.
