-Those are the words of
the giant Philistine, Goliath,
75
00:06:16,677 --> 00:06:19,013
taunting the armies of Israel,
76
00:06:19,046 --> 00:06:22,917
and no one would come out
and fight him, no one but David.

A stone, it says right here
in verse 41st Samuel.
81
00:06:33,794 --> 00:06:35,763
And so David stopped by a brook
82
00:06:35,796 --> 00:06:39,767
and chose him
five smooth stones.
83
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,638
Well, why didn't David
gather the largest stone,
84
00:06:43,671 --> 00:06:45,706
or the most jagged stone?
85
00:06:45,740 --> 00:06:47,942

what shapes a stone?
91
00:07:03,724 --> 00:07:06,827
God's water shapes a stone.
92
00:07:06,861 --> 00:07:10,598
And we, as Christians,
as children of God,
93
00:07:10,631 --> 00:07:12,533
we are being constantly shaped.
94
00:07:12,566 --> 00:07:15,836
And after we're baptized,
we are sent out into the world
95
00:07:15,870 --> 00:07:19,941
as His messengers,
and we fly straight and true
96
00:07:19,974 --> 00:07:24,845
-to the very snout of Satan,
so that we...
-[can rattles]
97

...can fight our own Goliath,
and--
98

You know, I myself
have been afraid to say this,
99
00:07:38,292 --> 00:07:39,894

[Ray] You hit this rock?

Sorry, Mister.
I'll get a job to pay for it.
178
00:12:46,100 --> 00:12:49,136
Now, hold up. You tellin' me...
179
00:12:49,169 --> 00:12:52,306
that you hit this rock
over them trees
180
00:12:52,339 --> 00:12:55,843
and into my windshield
with that lousy stick?
181
00:12:55,876 --> 00:12:58,045
That's a couple hundred feet,
easy.
182
00:12:58,078 --> 00:12:59,813
And you done it
wearing them things?
183
00:12:59,847 --> 00:13:01,782
Imagine that.
184
00:13:03,551 --> 00:13:05,152
You know what a prodigy is?
185
00:13:06,453 --> 00:13:09,423
-No, sir.
-Well, look it up.

them legs healed up,

at the gate to buy a ticket.

-But I owe you.
-Forget the windshield.

in a lifetime.

[James] We receive your bounty,
Lord,

to better fortify our bodies and
minds so that we may serve you.

of your son, Jesus.

-Amen.
-[all] Amen.

Y'all see Daddy peg down

None of the Apostles

That's enough.
Do you hear me? Enough.

You can shut me down.

How you gonna quiet the voice
in your head,

that boy down to nothing
and put him in a wheelchair?

you don't see the misery you're
putting your family through!
219

I am not going to apologize
for my devotion to God.

That's your daughter.

He ain't gonna get no better
without new ones.

I don't approve of this.

No. They-- they sell gum.

Yes-- yes, sir.

Robert, you are
your younger brother's keeper.

swinging that stick.

But you can't play baseball.

You can't even run.
265
00:17:36,858 --> 00:17:39,393
And if you try,
you're gonna get ridiculed,
266

And I wanna protect that.

such selfless devotion?

One Blast-Off Burger,
one order of fries,
and one Coke.
696
00:45:16,518 --> 00:45:19,320
Cost: 75 cents,
and that's what I got.
697
00:45:20,921 --> 00:45:24,358
[waitress chuckles]
One Blast-Off Burger,
698
00:45:24,391 --> 00:45:27,061
one order of fries,
and one Coke?
699
00:45:27,094 --> 00:45:29,763
That ain't nearly enough
to feed all three of you kids.
700
00:45:29,797 --> 00:45:31,365
[Rickey] We just
need the one order.
701
00:45:31,398 --> 00:45:32,900
I tried to tell him,
702
00:45:32,933 --> 00:45:35,769
but he just came in here
like a crazy man.
703
00:45:35,803 --> 00:45:39,006
Well... he counted too quick.
704
00:45:39,039 --> 00:45:41,208
We're just a quarter short,
actually.
705
00:45:42,276 --> 00:45:45,112
Well, I ain't so hot at numbers.
706
00:45:45,145 --> 00:45:47,114
I'll come back
when I get the rest.
707
00:45:47,147 --> 00:45:51,785
Wait. It just so happens...
I have a quarter.
708
00:45:51,819 --> 00:45:54,989
-[James] Okay,
I've got 'em closed.
-[Robert] Keep 'em closed.
709
00:45:55,022 --> 00:45:58,492
I will, I will. I've never
been more in the dark.
710
00:45:58,526 --> 00:46:01,195
[softly] Here,
bring him this way.
711
00:46:01,228 --> 00:46:02,863
-[thud]
-Oh!
712
00:46:02,896 --> 00:46:05,799
Well, I guess I'm going to
sit down, is that right?
713
00:46:05,833 --> 00:46:07,801
[chuckling]
714
00:46:10,037 --> 00:46:12,873
We all know turkey's
your favorite, but...
715
00:46:12,906 --> 00:46:15,876
but we wanted to get
something special instead.
716
00:46:15,909 --> 00:46:17,545
Can I open my eyes?
717
00:46:17,579 --> 00:46:19,079
Yep.
718
00:46:22,483 --> 00:46:25,986
Why, it's my second favorite.
719
00:46:26,987 --> 00:46:29,123
And a more thoughtful gift, I--
720
00:46:31,191 --> 00:46:32,594
I can't remember.
721
00:46:32,627 --> 00:46:35,996
You take care of us
all year, so, uh...
722
00:46:37,064 --> 00:46:38,566
today we wanna take care of you.
723
00:46:39,500 --> 00:46:43,270
The most beautiful gift
I have ever been blessed with
724
00:46:44,371 --> 00:46:46,807
is not this delicious burger.
725
00:46:48,342 --> 00:46:53,447
It's the joy of sharing it
with all of you.
726
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,116
You're my beautiful family.
727
00:46:56,150 --> 00:46:58,252
We ain't hungry.
728
00:46:58,285 --> 00:47:00,054
Stuffed.
729
00:47:00,087 --> 00:47:01,155
Slimming.
730
00:47:02,557 --> 00:47:04,358
All us girls are.
731
00:47:07,361 --> 00:47:08,996
Well, I'm starvin'.
732
00:47:14,468 --> 00:47:15,537
Mmm!
733
00:47:15,570 --> 00:47:18,005
[chuckling]
734
00:47:18,038 --> 00:47:21,375
[crickets chirping]
735
00:47:21,408 --> 00:47:25,946
[Gracie] "Me and my mama areheading to Oklahoma Cityto live with my grandfolks.
736
00:47:25,979 --> 00:47:28,550
Hey, has anyone inyour new town figured out
737
00:47:28,583 --> 00:47:30,351
how you're cheatin'at batting yet?
738
00:47:30,384 --> 00:47:33,921
Heh. Truly,I hope you're still swingin'
739
00:47:33,954 --> 00:47:35,623
no matter how your legs are.
740
00:47:35,657 --> 00:47:38,158
Knowing you, I bet youa Buffalo nickel
741
00:47:38,192 --> 00:47:40,227
you're still dreamin'of the majors.
742
00:47:40,260 --> 00:47:42,630
Me,I've run clean out of dreams.
743
00:47:42,664 --> 00:47:46,967
I guess it's up to you to makeone come true for both of us.
744
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,403
If anyone can, it's you.
745
00:47:49,436 --> 00:47:52,106
PS: you're still my boyfriend!"
746
00:48:00,548 --> 00:48:02,249
Since when ain't you tryin' out?
747
00:48:02,282 --> 00:48:04,519
Since my daddy refused to sign.
748
00:48:05,953 --> 00:48:10,023
Check out Coach Don.
He look like he's up all night
verifying signatures?
749
00:48:10,057 --> 00:48:13,394
Hold up. You're sayin'...
750
00:48:13,427 --> 00:48:15,262
Fake Daddy's signature?
751
00:48:15,295 --> 00:48:18,932
Yep. Seems like the real sin
is stopping you from playin'.
752
00:48:18,966 --> 00:48:20,267
Jason's right.
753
00:48:21,402 --> 00:48:23,103
Plus...
754
00:48:23,137 --> 00:48:26,273
I don't know a soul who's
owed this shot more than you.
755
00:48:28,710 --> 00:48:30,144
Give it to me.
756
00:48:33,180 --> 00:48:35,282
Hope the good Lord
sees it that way.
757
00:48:38,318 --> 00:48:40,020
[knocking on door]
758
00:48:45,392 --> 00:48:47,227
Oh. Evening, ma'am.
759
00:48:47,261 --> 00:48:50,030
Uh, Don Fisher,
youth baseball coach.
760
00:48:50,063 --> 00:48:54,268
Oh. I'm sorry, our boys
aren't allowed to play.
761
00:48:55,169 --> 00:48:58,005
Uh, better iron that out
with your husband, ma'am.
762
00:48:58,038 --> 00:49:00,307
He-- he signed
Rickey's permission slip.
763
00:49:00,340 --> 00:49:04,211
-Oh, um, come in.
-[Coach Don] Oh, uh... ah!
764
00:49:04,244 --> 00:49:06,246
-[crinkling papers]
-Who, by the way,
765
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:09,216
is knocking the tar out
of anything we throw at him.
766
00:49:09,249 --> 00:49:12,186
What is this?
I didn't sign nothin'.
767
00:49:16,724 --> 00:49:19,460
That's not my handwriting.
That's forgery.
768
00:49:19,493 --> 00:49:21,261
[Coach Don] Well...
769
00:49:21,295 --> 00:49:22,564
you know boys.
770
00:49:23,430 --> 00:49:27,201
Anyhoo, he-- he is
one heck of a hitter.
771
00:49:27,234 --> 00:49:31,506
The only way I can figure
how your boy can
possibly hit the ball
772
00:49:31,539 --> 00:49:34,542
as far and as hard as he can...
773
00:49:35,510 --> 00:49:37,712
the Lord give him a gift.
774
00:49:37,745 --> 00:49:39,413
Well, he's not gonna be playing.
775
00:49:39,446 --> 00:49:42,550
-You ain't gonna let him play?
-Nope.
776
00:49:42,584 --> 00:49:46,320
Look, I've pastored 13 years
up in the Panhandle,
777
00:49:46,353 --> 00:49:49,958
and I know good and well
what a miracle looks like.
778
00:49:50,658 --> 00:49:52,392
And Rickey is one.
779
00:49:53,761 --> 00:49:56,163
So my counsel to you, Pastor,
780
00:49:56,196 --> 00:49:59,132
is figure out why
you're so hellbent on
781
00:49:59,166 --> 00:50:02,236
crushing the boy's soul
and squandering his blessing.
782
00:50:03,170 --> 00:50:05,339
God bless you. Amen, good night.
783
00:50:15,583 --> 00:50:17,017
Rickey?
784
00:50:17,685 --> 00:50:19,119
Rickey!
785
00:50:26,661 --> 00:50:27,762
I done it.
786
00:50:27,795 --> 00:50:30,030
[Robert] He's covering for me.
787
00:50:31,231 --> 00:50:33,300
I-- I said for him to play,
788
00:50:34,468 --> 00:50:36,136
and doctored the slip.
789
00:50:36,169 --> 00:50:39,273
He was just trying to help me
do the one thing I love.
790
00:50:39,306 --> 00:50:41,174
The one thing you love?
791
00:50:41,876 --> 00:50:43,443
That's the truth.
792
00:50:43,477 --> 00:50:47,549
It ain't about me
swinging a stick to hit a stone.
793
00:50:47,582 --> 00:50:50,818
When I swing that bat,
I ain't crippled no more.
794
00:50:50,852 --> 00:50:53,387
I am David taking down Goliath.
795
00:50:53,420 --> 00:50:56,423
Everybody can see how much
this means to me but you, Daddy.
796
00:50:56,456 --> 00:51:00,795
-Don't you backtalk me, boy.
-Don't you dare
run that child down!
797
00:51:00,828 --> 00:51:02,630
Give him his say.
He's earned it.
798
00:51:02,664 --> 00:51:05,600
You stay out of this.
This ain't none of
your business.
799
00:51:05,633 --> 00:51:08,201
My business is the family
800
00:51:08,235 --> 00:51:10,103
that you've turned into sheep.
801
00:51:10,137 --> 00:51:12,172
Helen and the kids,
they love you so much,
802
00:51:12,205 --> 00:51:16,176
they let you just suck
all the joy out of their lives.
803
00:51:16,209 --> 00:51:18,813
I'm too old and mean
to stand by another minute
804
00:51:18,846 --> 00:51:20,848
while you make
your misery theirs.
805
00:51:20,882 --> 00:51:25,620
"To seek out the one true
calling God has placed us
on Earth to answer
806
00:51:25,653 --> 00:51:29,724
is no less than our duty to
fulfill it with pure devotion,
807
00:51:29,757 --> 00:51:31,491
no less than
our divine destiny."
808
00:51:31,526 --> 00:51:33,327
Yeah, see right there?
809
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:37,197
Even a blind man could tell
you're born to be a preacher.
810
00:51:37,230 --> 00:51:39,767
You said those words.
That's your sermon.
811
00:51:39,801 --> 00:51:42,436
Are those words the truth?
812
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,576
You think baseball is your duty?
813
00:51:48,610 --> 00:51:50,344
Ever since I can remember.
814
00:51:50,377 --> 00:51:53,180
So much you'd lie about it?
815
00:51:53,213 --> 00:51:56,584
See that? That's a lie.
816
00:51:57,785 --> 00:51:59,654
Now,
I'm gonna give you a choice.
817
00:52:01,556 --> 00:52:03,357
God's will...
818
00:52:04,659 --> 00:52:05,693
or your will.
819
00:52:13,968 --> 00:52:16,504
-Robert...
-[Robert sobs]
820
00:52:16,537 --> 00:52:18,539
[James] ...you lied.
821
00:52:18,573 --> 00:52:20,642
You deceived.
822
00:52:20,675 --> 00:52:22,242
You misguided your brother.
823
00:52:22,275 --> 00:52:24,277
Now, we got rules in this house.
824
00:52:25,546 --> 00:52:28,181
And you know there's
consequences to those rules.
825
00:52:28,215 --> 00:52:29,717
[sobs] Yes, sir.
826
00:52:29,751 --> 00:52:31,552
Get out back.
827
00:52:32,553 --> 00:52:34,589
And I mean now.
828
00:52:34,622 --> 00:52:36,691
Daddy, it should be me!
829
00:52:40,928 --> 00:52:42,295
Robert.
830
00:52:46,233 --> 00:52:47,835
You deceived me.
831
00:52:47,869 --> 00:52:50,237
I can't tell you how that hurts.
832
00:52:51,839 --> 00:52:53,941
And you know I love you.
833
00:52:53,975 --> 00:52:56,678
This is about saving your soul.
834
00:52:56,711 --> 00:52:58,579
You ain't gonna save me.
835
00:53:00,682 --> 00:53:02,416
You can beat me all night.
836
00:53:04,852 --> 00:53:06,587
It ain't gonna change Rickey.
837
00:53:08,022 --> 00:53:10,424
Rickey's confused.
838
00:53:10,457 --> 00:53:12,426
He's lost.
839
00:53:12,459 --> 00:53:14,595
He ain't the one who's lost.
840
00:53:15,730 --> 00:53:17,230
What's he doin'?
841
00:53:22,904 --> 00:53:24,304
Growing up.
842
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:26,774
You turn around.
843
00:53:30,645 --> 00:53:37,350
[morose music playing]
844
00:53:52,299 --> 00:53:53,500
Go inside.
845
00:53:55,903 --> 00:53:57,839
-I said go inside.
-Daddy?
846
00:53:57,872 --> 00:53:59,574
Just leave me be. Go inside.
847
00:53:59,607 --> 00:54:06,647
[♪]

[train whistle blows]
849
00:54:33,941 --> 00:54:35,643
It ain't fair.
850
00:54:35,676 --> 00:54:38,913
I can't go this entire summer
without playing baseball.
851
00:54:38,946 --> 00:54:43,618
Well, till you can find
a way to preach and play
at the same time...
852
00:54:45,086 --> 00:54:46,521
you're benched.
853
00:54:57,064 --> 00:54:58,298
[James] Son.
854
00:54:59,801 --> 00:55:03,403
You know you're not
supposed to interrupt me
when I'm writing my sermon.
855
00:55:04,939 --> 00:55:06,406
Yes, sir.
856
00:55:07,842 --> 00:55:12,580
I came here to ask you
what to do when I need to
tell you something.
857
00:55:14,715 --> 00:55:15,950
Now.
858
00:55:15,983 --> 00:55:17,384
[scoffs]
859
00:55:21,088 --> 00:55:22,824
All right.
860
00:55:23,791 --> 00:55:25,392
Say your piece.
861
00:55:29,730 --> 00:55:32,834
Last night,
you gave me a choice.
862
00:55:33,601 --> 00:55:36,604
And I've been thinking
real hard on it.
863
00:55:37,872 --> 00:55:40,608
You're right. God is number one.
864
00:55:40,641 --> 00:55:44,011
He has, is, and always will be.
865
00:55:44,045 --> 00:55:46,614
And like you've preached
so many times,
866
00:55:47,414 --> 00:55:48,983
God don't make mistakes.
867
00:55:49,016 --> 00:55:50,417
Amen.
868
00:55:52,720 --> 00:55:56,891
I feel His perfection guiding me
when I swing that bat.
869
00:55:58,025 --> 00:56:03,130
I bear witness to His power
when the ball sails over
the backfield fence.
870
00:56:03,164 --> 00:56:07,001
I'm not following your logic.
What?
871
00:56:07,034 --> 00:56:08,501
'Cause I ain't done.
872
00:56:10,905 --> 00:56:12,472
I choose both.
873
00:56:12,506 --> 00:56:17,678
You choose God and baseball?
874
00:56:17,712 --> 00:56:19,446
Only answer.
875
00:56:20,781 --> 00:56:24,518
In His perfection,
He handed me two gifts:
876
00:56:24,552 --> 00:56:28,656
preaching with fire, and playing
by the power of His hand.
877
00:56:28,689 --> 00:56:31,826
[sighs]
"Each blessing to His glory.
878
00:56:33,761 --> 00:56:38,165
I can do all things through
Christ who strengthens me."
879
00:56:38,199 --> 00:56:41,401
Philippians 4:13.
880
00:56:52,179 --> 00:56:53,748
What is that?
881
00:57:15,169 --> 00:57:17,972
Thank you for
all you taught me, Daddy.
882
00:57:29,016 --> 00:57:31,085
[dramatic music playing]
883
00:57:31,118 --> 00:57:34,021

885
00:57:45,266 --> 00:57:47,535
[announcer]
Now batting for the Buffaloes,
886
00:57:47,568 --> 00:57:51,238

889
00:58:04,085 --> 00:58:07,888
-[crowd cheering]
-And gone!
890
00:58:09,156 --> 00:58:13,928
-[cheering]
-Ladies and gentlemen,the 1973 season opener ends
891
00:58:13,961 --> 00:58:16,063

from Buffaloes seniorsensation,Rickey Hill!
893
00:58:19,900 --> 00:58:23,137
-That's our brother!
-Oh, man, you're flyin'!
894
00:58:23,170 --> 00:58:25,106
-There you go, Rickey!
-Rickey!
895
00:58:25,139 --> 00:58:26,841
-[Connie cheers]
-[Robert] Come on!
896
00:58:30,177 --> 00:58:32,613
[Ray] You set him up so good.
897
00:58:32,646 --> 00:58:34,749
Laid off the slider
the whole game...
898
00:58:34,782 --> 00:58:37,018
I almost got caught
with my foot in the bucket.
899
00:58:37,051 --> 00:58:39,954
[Ray laughs] Oh, man.
900
00:58:39,987 --> 00:58:41,756
All right, I'm gonna git.
901
00:58:41,789 --> 00:58:44,191
Um, see you Monday
after practice.
902
00:58:44,225 --> 00:58:46,961
-Yeah.
-All right. We got some
work to do on that old car.
903
00:58:46,994 --> 00:58:48,863
-I'll be there.
-Well, have fun tonight.
904
00:58:48,896 --> 00:58:50,865
-All right. Night.
-Good to see you, buddy.
905
00:58:50,898 --> 00:58:54,168
Four for four. Again.
Officially battin' above 400.
906
00:58:54,201 --> 00:58:55,936
[Gracie] Sure he ain't cheatin'?
907
00:58:57,338 --> 00:59:00,041
Girls don't know spit
about baseball.
908
00:59:00,074 --> 00:59:01,742
No, I see it.
909
00:59:01,776 --> 00:59:04,945
Finally got full body rotation.
910
00:59:04,979 --> 00:59:06,113
Found your power.
911
00:59:06,147 --> 00:59:07,748
Well?
912
00:59:09,250 --> 00:59:10,651
Did you miss me?
913
00:59:10,684 --> 00:59:12,987
Now, I only want the truth.
914
00:59:13,020 --> 00:59:16,223
[tender music playing]
915
00:59:16,257 --> 00:59:17,825
Gracie?
916
00:59:19,026 --> 00:59:22,063
-Last I heard, you--
-Well, I came back.
917
00:59:22,096 --> 00:59:24,065
To see an old friend.
918
00:59:25,099 --> 00:59:26,700
Me?
919
00:59:26,734 --> 00:59:29,070
Still know how to charm a girl.
920
00:59:29,103 --> 00:59:30,805
I been tracking your career.
921
00:59:31,639 --> 00:59:34,341
We've gotta go... fix something.
922
00:59:34,375 --> 00:59:36,210
Fix somethin'!
923
00:59:36,243 --> 00:59:39,947
Oh! Yeah, we-- Okay. We can go.
924
00:59:39,980 --> 00:59:41,849
You sure showed me.
925
00:59:43,717 --> 00:59:46,887
-I talk big.
-[Gracie] You believe big.
926
00:59:46,921 --> 00:59:50,091
Me? I couldn't see past
getting out of that house.
927
00:59:52,126 --> 00:59:54,728
How long you gonna be in town?
928
00:59:55,362 --> 00:59:57,064
I don't know.
929
00:59:57,098 --> 00:59:58,699
A few days.
930
00:59:58,732 --> 01:00:00,668
Baby, is it always this hot?
931
01:00:00,701 --> 01:00:02,236
-Uh...
-I need a drink.
932
01:00:02,269 --> 01:00:04,972
Ned, this is my friend, Rickey.
933
01:00:05,005 --> 01:00:08,843
The Rickey? The Rickey Hill,
the batting phenom? [chuckles]
934
01:00:08,876 --> 01:00:11,645
You know what?
I actually owe you a thank-you.
935
01:00:11,679 --> 01:00:13,414
For what, exactly?
936
01:00:13,447 --> 01:00:16,317
I backed him.
Fifty bucks, running 5:1.
937
01:00:16,350 --> 01:00:19,086
You paid out like a Vegas slot,
my friend. [chuckles]
938
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:22,189
[Gracie] Well,
when he's not being crude,
Ned's a sports writer.
939
01:00:22,223 --> 01:00:24,358
Eastern Chronicle. I edit him.
940
01:00:24,391 --> 01:00:26,393
Thought you two should meet.
941
01:00:26,427 --> 01:00:28,195
Your mom invited us to supper.
942
01:00:28,229 --> 01:00:30,664
Cool.
943
01:00:30,698 --> 01:00:34,802
Well, he'd just hit four homers
in this one game.
944
01:00:34,835 --> 01:00:37,438
You a good, clean sports writer,
are ya?
945
01:00:37,471 --> 01:00:41,108
Oh. Uh, well,
I'd like to think so.
946
01:00:41,142 --> 01:00:43,277
Punchy. Not windy,
947
01:00:43,310 --> 01:00:47,314
in the way that
McCormack blowhard goes on.
You know him?
948
01:00:47,348 --> 01:00:51,285
I am that McCormack... blowhard.
949
01:00:51,318 --> 01:00:53,954
-[laughing]
-[Gram] Well, then,
950
01:00:53,988 --> 01:00:57,391
you have something more to chew
on than gamblin' and drinkin'.
951
01:00:57,424 --> 01:00:59,193
[forced chuckle]
952
01:00:59,226 --> 01:01:02,163
Is that that little seedlin'
that got planted so long ago?
953
01:01:02,196 --> 01:01:06,133
Gracie, you done bloomed
into a beautiful rose, girl.
954
01:01:06,167 --> 01:01:09,170
Come here and hug my neck.
Oh, oh!
955
01:01:09,203 --> 01:01:12,439
[chuckles]
956
01:01:12,473 --> 01:01:16,177
Are you gonna come
celebrate Sunday services
with us tomorrow?
957
01:01:16,210 --> 01:01:18,479
-I'd love to.
-It would make me so happy.
958
01:01:18,513 --> 01:01:21,215
Well, hon, I mean,
slugger's got his game tomorrow.
959
01:01:21,248 --> 01:01:25,386
Ned McCormack, by the way.
So nice to meet you.
Thanks for having us over.
960
01:01:25,419 --> 01:01:29,056
I love everything you've done
with the... everything.
961
01:01:29,089 --> 01:01:31,358
Don't tell me you people
don't play on Sundays.
962
01:01:31,392 --> 01:01:36,197
Well, his father failed
to lead him to a higher path.
963
01:01:36,230 --> 01:01:38,866
[laughing] Higher path.
964
01:01:39,534 --> 01:01:41,835
I'm sorry,
I don't mean any disrespect,
965
01:01:41,869 --> 01:01:43,904
but, I mean,
certainly you can see,
966
01:01:43,938 --> 01:01:46,740
whenever he plays,
he's a-- he's a phenom.
967
01:01:47,775 --> 01:01:49,777
I've never seen him play.
968
01:01:50,978 --> 01:01:52,713
You never seen him play?
969
01:01:54,348 --> 01:01:55,749
No.
970
01:01:57,117 --> 01:02:00,788
Well... uh,
I'm gonna get washed up.
971
01:02:01,989 --> 01:02:04,693
Be right back.
Good to see you, Gracie.
972
01:02:06,493 --> 01:02:08,062
I'll be there.
973
01:02:09,930 --> 01:02:14,101
[peaceful music playing]
974
01:02:16,270 --> 01:02:17,805
[Gracie] Great game today.
975
01:02:19,006 --> 01:02:22,076
Did your... guy leave?
976
01:02:23,344 --> 01:02:25,079
Ned is not my guy.
977
01:02:25,112 --> 01:02:27,915
I realized that at dinner
last night and broke it off.
978
01:02:27,948 --> 01:02:30,784
He took it like a gentleman,
then fired me.
979
01:02:30,818 --> 01:02:33,787
[surprised laugh] Oh! Well...
980
01:02:33,821 --> 01:02:35,155
you're smart.
981
01:02:36,390 --> 01:02:38,025
I bet something finds you.
982
01:02:38,058 --> 01:02:40,828
If that optimism
comes in bottles,
983
01:02:40,861 --> 01:02:42,830
I'll take a whole case.
984
01:02:44,832 --> 01:02:46,500
You wanna know what a dork I am?
985
01:02:46,534 --> 01:02:47,968
It's not apparent.
986
01:02:48,002 --> 01:02:49,870
-[Rickey chuckles]
-Fill me in.
987
01:02:49,903 --> 01:02:53,874
Every stinkin' letter you wrote
since you were nine,
988
01:02:53,907 --> 01:02:57,344
-I kept.
-[laughs] Lord!
989
01:02:57,378 --> 01:02:59,046
Did they fill a whole tub?
990
01:03:00,515 --> 01:03:01,915
No.
991
01:03:03,250 --> 01:03:04,385
We're both dorks, then.
992
01:03:05,853 --> 01:03:07,187
You kept mine?
993
01:03:07,221 --> 01:03:09,290
Both of 'em.
994
01:03:09,323 --> 01:03:12,326
I'm not much of a writer.
995
01:03:13,894 --> 01:03:15,896
Was that why you stopped?
996
01:03:16,531 --> 01:03:17,931
No.
997
01:03:20,434 --> 01:03:23,937
Your career was taking off and
I figured you forgot about me.
998
01:03:25,306 --> 01:03:27,007
Not for one day.
999
01:03:31,211 --> 01:03:32,580
[Rickey grunts]
1000
01:03:32,614 --> 01:03:36,283
Rickey, that's twice now!
What is going on?
1001
01:03:36,317 --> 01:03:38,218
[Rickey] I just...
1002
01:03:38,252 --> 01:03:40,454
I get sore from hittin'.
1003
01:03:40,487 --> 01:03:42,590
That ain't sore. That's agony.
1004
01:03:42,624 --> 01:03:44,024
How long?
1005
01:03:44,892 --> 01:03:46,260
My whole life.
1006
01:03:46,293 --> 01:03:49,296
-What do your doctors say?
-Nothin'.
1007
01:03:49,330 --> 01:03:52,833
I see a doctor, they're just
gonna tell me to stop.
1008
01:03:56,303 --> 01:03:59,206
[Ray] I'm sick of it.
I'm sick and tired
1009
01:03:59,239 --> 01:04:01,175
of all these other
high school players
1010
01:04:01,208 --> 01:04:04,478
who got scouts out
watchin' 'em, and...
1011
01:04:04,512 --> 01:04:08,148
and here you are, the hardest
damn hitter I ever seen,
1012
01:04:08,182 --> 01:04:09,350
and nothin'.
1013
01:04:09,383 --> 01:04:11,151
And the clock is tickin'.
1014
01:04:11,185 --> 01:04:13,954
In four months,
you're graduatin' high school,
1015
01:04:13,987 --> 01:04:17,592
and right now is when all
the scouts are snatching up
all the good ones,
1016
01:04:17,625 --> 01:04:20,494
and, son,
you're better than good.
1017
01:04:20,528 --> 01:04:22,496
Do you wanna play in the majors?
1018
01:04:22,530 --> 01:04:24,131
That's all I want.
1019
01:04:25,533 --> 01:04:28,035
-But Ray...
-But jack squat.
1020
01:04:30,638 --> 01:04:33,073
After all the hell
you been through,
1021
01:04:33,107 --> 01:04:36,009
I'm not about to
let you lose hope now.
1022
01:04:36,043 --> 01:04:37,645
We're going straight to the top.
1023
01:04:37,679 --> 01:04:40,080
I'm not talkin' about
just anybody.
1024
01:04:40,981 --> 01:04:45,018
-I'm callin' Mike Toliver.
-Who's Mike Toliver?
1025
01:04:45,052 --> 01:04:47,421
Mike Toliver's one of the
best scouts in the business.
1026
01:04:47,454 --> 01:04:50,658
And I'm gonna get him to come to
one of your high school games.
1027
01:04:50,692 --> 01:04:55,996
[crowd cheering]
1028
01:04:56,029 --> 01:04:58,999
-Hey. Good to see you.
-Good to see you.
1029
01:04:59,032 --> 01:05:02,002
-Who's he talking to?
-It's one of them scouts.
1030
01:05:02,035 --> 01:05:04,004
-Really?
-That wasn't bad at all.
1031
01:05:04,037 --> 01:05:07,274
-[Ray] Good.
-Gonna be worth it. I'm looking
forward to seeing Rickey.
1032
01:05:07,307 --> 01:05:09,443
He's something else.
Thank you, Mr. Toliver.
1033
01:05:11,044 --> 01:05:14,682
Robot boy.
Looks like we're gonna
finally finish what we started.
1034
01:05:14,716 --> 01:05:16,618
Don't worry. I'll make it quick.
1035
01:05:16,651 --> 01:05:19,554
Wouldn't wanna see you suffer
in front of all of these folks.
1036
01:05:19,587 --> 01:05:22,956
[announcer] Well,there they are, folks,the Bowie City Buffaloes.
1037
01:05:22,990 --> 01:05:25,959
This should be someregional matchup tonight,
1038
01:05:25,993 --> 01:05:29,664

01:31:32,793 --> 01:31:37,031

01:31:45,906 --> 01:31:49,276
no talking to the scouts
unless they talk to you.
1386
01:31:49,310 --> 01:31:52,013
Let your play
show 'em what you got.
1387
01:31:52,046 --> 01:31:53,948
And if they say you're done...
1388

1389
01:31:58,019 --> 01:32:00,287

Get your assignments.

They tried to tell me
Rickey Hill was finished.
1393
01:32:11,732 --> 01:32:15,102
I said, "Nah. Hill's got himself
another mountain to climb.
1394
01:32:15,136 --> 01:32:18,172
He's too hard-headed to quit
and too dumb to listen."

01:32:19,974 --> 01:32:22,176

Hey, Hill.
1414
01:33:54,168 --> 01:33:56,670
Don't seem to be making
much of a difference.
1415
01:33:56,704 --> 01:34:00,040
No, Coach, you ain't cuttin' me.
I'm still doing
my second round of hitting.

You can-- you can swing,

I don't think they're
giving him a contract to sign.

They can't cut him yet.
Red hasn't seen him hit.

All right,

A local high school baseball
star by the name of Rickey Hill.
1580
01:46:17,078 --> 01:46:18,779
Now, this kid hasquite a story.
1581
01:46:18,813 --> 01:46:21,115
He's battled degenerativespinal disease
1582
01:46:21,148 --> 01:46:24,619
since he was a little boy,and recently suffereda real bad setback
1583
01:46:24,652 --> 01:46:27,755
where he fractured his ankle,resulting in surgery.
1584
01:46:27,788 --> 01:46:30,992
You know, he's overcome a lot,and he's on a mission.
1585
01:46:33,694 --> 01:46:35,930
Red Murff is gonna give hima shot of a lifetime
1586
01:46:35,963 --> 01:46:40,668
by being the DH on both teamsto prove to him if he can hit
1587
01:46:40,701 --> 01:46:43,137
and really getto the big leagues.
1588
01:46:43,170 --> 01:46:45,206
Don't take it easy on him, Jake.
1589
01:46:45,239 --> 01:46:47,407
He calls himself a hitter.
1590
01:46:48,576 --> 01:46:51,779
[suspenseful music playing]
1591
01:46:51,812 --> 01:46:55,049
-[umpire] Play ball!
-Can you imagine what'sgoing through Hill's mind,
1592
01:46:55,082 --> 01:46:57,752
all that he had to do,just to get to this point
1593
01:46:57,785 --> 01:46:59,921

We're about to see ifHill is ready for the task.
1597
01:47:10,698 --> 01:47:13,801

1598

-[umpire] Strike one!
-Right by Hill.
1600
01:47:21,175 --> 01:47:23,911
Looked like he was on hisfront foot. Probably anxious,
1601
01:47:23,945 --> 01:47:26,714
just seeing that velocityfor the first time.
1602

01:47:36,791 --> 01:47:39,694
Drops off the table.That had a lot of break on it.
1605
01:47:39,727 --> 01:47:42,997
And really quickly,Hill is 0-2 in the count.
1606
01:47:45,666 --> 01:47:47,835
Two strikes on Hill.
1607
01:47:47,868 --> 01:47:49,570
Wilford delivers.

-[crowd cheering]
-That's a line drive base hit.
1609

That's gotta feel good forHill.
1610
01:47:54,275 --> 01:47:57,712
Good hit, Rickey!
That'll shake the cobwebs off.
1611
01:47:57,745 --> 01:48:00,114
-What, his or yours?
-[scoffs]
1612
01:48:00,147 --> 01:48:04,484
[announcer] That's gottatake a lot of pressure offof him to start the day.
1613
01:48:08,756 --> 01:48:11,559
And a pinch runnersteps in for Hill.
1614
01:48:13,160 --> 01:48:15,096
I have been selfish.
1615
01:48:17,164 --> 01:48:19,767
I have been arrogant.
1616
01:48:20,901 --> 01:48:22,670
I, uh--
1617
01:48:24,038 --> 01:48:26,073
Even cruel.
1618
01:48:26,107 --> 01:48:30,244
I thought that
1619
01:48:30,277 --> 01:48:33,881
I knew God's plan for my son.
1620
01:48:33,914 --> 01:48:38,519
And I raised him in obedience
to that plan.
1621
01:48:40,688 --> 01:48:42,790
[tearful]
But it wasn't God's plan.
1622
01:48:45,092 --> 01:48:47,061
It was my plan.
1623
01:48:47,995 --> 01:48:49,096
[sighs]
1624
01:48:51,699 --> 01:48:54,201
Rickey had to w--
1625
01:48:54,235 --> 01:48:58,039
wear braces on his legs
just to walk.
1626
01:48:58,072 --> 01:49:02,977
And no matter how he does
in that game tonight,
1627
01:49:03,010 --> 01:49:08,983
he has overcome that
terrible burden that he has
had to carry his whole life.
1628
01:49:11,852 --> 01:49:14,255
I've been the one
that's been the cripple.
1629
01:49:14,288 --> 01:49:19,593
I just couldn't see past
what I thought my son should be
1630
01:49:19,627 --> 01:49:24,698
and just see who he really is
1631
01:49:24,732 --> 01:49:27,034
in the eyes of God.
1632
01:49:28,335 --> 01:49:31,972
[sniffles, sighs]
1633
01:49:33,140 --> 01:49:37,645
I'm supposed to be your pastor,
your spiritual leader.
1634
01:49:39,146 --> 01:49:40,181
But...
1635
01:49:41,715 --> 01:49:43,984
right now I just feel...
1636
01:49:44,018 --> 01:49:46,187
so ignorant.
1637
01:49:46,220 --> 01:49:47,955
And shamed.
1638
01:49:52,660 --> 01:49:54,962
I can't even ask
your forgiveness.
1639
01:49:57,264 --> 01:49:59,867
I guess I gotta
go to God for that.
1640
01:50:01,735 --> 01:50:05,372
[announcer] Now batting,this time for the red team,designated hitter Rickey Hill.

-[fan cheers] Rickey!
-As he gets in the box,
1642
01:50:07,842 --> 01:50:10,244
Red goes out to the moundto talk to his pitcher.
1643
01:50:10,277 --> 01:50:13,047
Take him down. Let's end this.
1644
01:50:15,449 --> 01:50:17,985
[tense music playing]
1645
01:50:18,018 --> 01:50:20,387
The pitcher gets backon the rubber, looks back,
1646
01:50:20,421 --> 01:50:22,723
and says to himself, I'm sure,
1647
01:50:22,756 --> 01:50:25,726
"I never pitched a ball witha guy standing right behindme."
1648
01:50:25,759 --> 01:50:30,331
Red Murff, a legend in thisgame, is planted rightby the pitcher.

Blazed straight up the middle!Red had to get out of the way.
1652
01:50:42,176 --> 01:50:44,945
Another base hitin his second at-bat.
1653
01:50:44,979 --> 01:50:48,215
I haven't seen Red
move like that in 20 years.
1654
01:50:48,249 --> 01:50:52,419
Kind of gives a head ofacknowledgment to,"Okay, that's two."

Who would've thought that Hillcould've done this afterall that he's been through?

The surgeries, the comeback.
1663
01:51:58,118 --> 01:52:02,156
Pretty amazing story,as he steps in nowfor his 11th at-bat.
1664
01:52:02,189 --> 01:52:05,492
Red goes to the mound.Looks like he's gonnamake a change, and he is.

He's just here for rehab.
Now Red's bringing him in
to ruin Rickey's night.
1673
01:52:33,588 --> 01:52:35,289
Well, Rickey can hit anyone.
1674
01:52:36,357 --> 01:52:37,758
Right?
1675
01:52:40,327 --> 01:52:42,229
Go ahead and warm up.

Don't need it.
I'm gonna sit him down.

Hill digs in.You would think 11 for 11
1680
01:52:57,344 --> 01:53:01,181
is a very daunting taskagainst the big right-hander.
1681

What next?
He-- he takes a base, right?
1700
01:54:24,264 --> 01:54:27,434
-He goes to first.
-With everything that
Hill has been through,
1701
01:54:27,468 --> 01:54:29,970
you just wonder if
this is one of those things
1702
01:54:30,003 --> 01:54:32,206
that might notallow him to continue.
1703
01:54:32,239 --> 01:54:34,408
It looks likehe's in a lot of pain.

[Red] You done, kid?
1705
01:54:36,410 --> 01:54:39,313
Walk it off. Take your base.

[grunts] No.

Take your damn base.
1709
01:54:50,090 --> 01:54:52,926
I don't have to take my base.
1710
01:54:55,362 --> 01:54:56,997
It's not a real game.
1711
01:54:58,232 --> 01:54:59,466
It's a tryout.
1712
01:55:01,569 --> 01:55:03,437
You're ten for ten.
