1
00:00:01,565 --> 00:00:05,311
There's a dream that's as old as natural grass,and nickel hot dogs...

2
00:00:05,311 --> 00:00:07,968
And being young.

3
00:00:19,778 --> 00:00:21,769
It's a dream every kid shares.

4
00:00:21,769 --> 00:00:25,902
The one big moment. Hero time.

5
00:00:25,902 --> 00:00:29,776
Of course, when you're five...
That dream doesn't seem out of reach.

6
00:00:29,776 --> 00:00:32,748
Everyone plays the game about the same.

7
00:00:32,748 --> 00:00:34,232
Bad.

8
00:00:34,922 --> 00:00:38,891
Still, for all your short-comings...
You've got the one thing that matters most.

9
00:00:38,891 --> 00:00:40,977
Potential.

10
00:00:43,148 --> 00:00:48,565
Then...As springtime rolls into fall, and Little League gives way to summer jobs...somehow...

11
00:00:48,565 --> 00:00:51,108
The dream gets left behind.

12
00:00:51,108 --> 00:00:52,772
For most of us, anyway.

13
00:00:52,772 --> 00:00:55,255
Hey, I might try out for the team this year!

14
00:00:55,255 --> 00:00:58,995
Of course, there was the occasional glaring exception.

15
00:00:58,995 --> 00:01:00,719
Paul, you're nuts.

16
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:02,706
You're gonna be up against ninth-graders.

17
00:01:02,706 --> 00:01:04,550
Only the best guys make the team!

18
00:01:04,550 --> 00:01:08,545
Come on - you love baseball.
Wouldn't you like to play on the team?

19
00:01:08,545 --> 00:01:10,702
I mean...You hit almost as good as I do.

20
00:01:10,702 --> 00:01:12,520
My mother hit better than Paul did.

21
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,557
This isn't Little League. Some of these guys can throw, like...a thousand mile an hour!

22
00:01:16,557 --> 00:01:18,125
No duh!

23
00:01:18,125 --> 00:01:20,719
Still, the great thing about my best friend was...

24
00:01:20,719 --> 00:01:22,463
He never gave in to reality.

25
00:01:22,463 --> 00:01:24,437
Come on, Kev - think about it!

26
00:01:24,437 --> 00:01:29,294
The smell of the grass...
The crack of the bat...in your hands...

27
00:01:29,294 --> 00:01:32,220
The breeze blowing in from the outfield...

28
00:01:32,220 --> 00:01:35,690
The feeling you get when the ball hits...smack in the webbing!

29
00:01:35,690 --> 00:01:38,573
The roar of the crowds!
The smell of the hotdogs!

30
00:01:38,573 --> 00:01:41,896
Kevin - this is baseball!

31
00:01:41,896 --> 00:01:44,156
Anything is possible!

32
00:01:44,156 --> 00:01:46,392
Aw, heck.

33
00:01:46,392 --> 00:01:49,566
It wasn't up to me...
To smash Paul's dream.

34
00:01:49,566 --> 00:01:50,713
Excuse me.

35
00:01:50,713 --> 00:01:53,870
There were plenty of other guys...
To do that.

36
00:01:53,870 --> 00:01:56,882
Thanks.

37
00:01:57,177 --> 00:01:58,904
Anything can happen.

38
00:01:58,904 --> 00:02:00,495
Well, I was his best friend...

39
00:02:00,495 --> 00:02:02,584
And if he was determined to go through with this...

40
00:02:02,584 --> 00:02:05,048
There was only one thing I could do.

41
00:02:05,617 --> 00:02:07,367
Stee-rike two!

44
00:02:11,565 --> 00:02:14,532
Coach Baker.
The guy who made the decisions.

45
00:02:14,532 --> 00:02:17,915
The guy who stood between you...
and the dream. The guy...

46
00:02:17,915 --> 00:02:19,379
You're throwin' like a girl!

47
00:02:19,379 --> 00:02:20,741
Who called you a girl.

48
00:02:20,741 --> 00:02:23,323
Start followin' through! Keep the ball down!

49
00:02:23,323 --> 00:02:27,004
It wasn't fair, really - those other guys had skills Paul didn't.

50
00:02:27,004 --> 00:02:29,610
Like hand-eye coordination. Somebody...

51
00:02:29,610 --> 00:02:31,486
Had to give him a little support.

52
00:02:31,486 --> 00:02:33,248
Hey, Paul!

53
00:02:33,248 --> 00:02:36,116
Don't let him fool you with his curve ball.

54
00:02:36,781 --> 00:02:40,620
That was his curve ball?

55
00:02:41,289 --> 00:02:42,830
Keep workin' on your stretch!

56
00:02:42,830 --> 00:02:45,872
And don't forget to follow through!

57
00:02:45,872 --> 00:02:47,394
Open your stance up a little bit!

58
00:02:47,394 --> 00:02:50,544
And don't crowd the plate!
And keep the bat up!

59
00:02:50,544 --> 00:02:52,020
Keep your "kit" down!

60
00:02:52,020 --> 00:02:54,493
Just...Try to get a piece of it!

61
00:02:54,493 --> 00:02:57,367
OK. So maybe we separate agendas, here.

62
00:02:57,367 --> 00:02:59,902
But at least now, Paul had a chance of...

63
00:02:59,902 --> 00:03:01,370
Strike three!

64
00:03:01,370 --> 00:03:03,830
Looking good while he struck out.

65
00:03:03,830 --> 00:03:05,570
It's OK, Pfeiffer...

66
00:03:05,570 --> 00:03:08,063
That's the way to stand in there.

67
00:03:09,703 --> 00:03:12,630
Well, at least...
He couldn't say I hadn't warned him.

68
00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:17,068
Anybody else? Come on - 
let's get another batter up here...

69
00:03:17,068 --> 00:03:18,113
Don't worry about it.

70
00:03:18,113 --> 00:03:20,136
I struck out.

71
00:03:21,037 --> 00:03:22,295
Hey, kid!

72
00:03:22,295 --> 00:03:25,013
What's your name?

73
00:03:25,013 --> 00:03:26,815
Kevin.  Arnold.

74
00:03:26,815 --> 00:03:30,086
Want to take an at bat, Arnold?

75
00:03:30,086 --> 00:03:32,153
No... No. No, thanks.

76
00:03:32,153 --> 00:03:33,407
Why not?

77
00:03:33,407 --> 00:03:36,133
If you can hit...half as good as you coach...

78
00:03:36,133 --> 00:03:37,635
We might be able to use you.

79
00:03:37,635 --> 00:03:40,704
No, no, I really didn't come to try out, so...

80
00:03:40,704 --> 00:03:42,709
That's up to you.

81
00:03:42,709 --> 00:03:44,760
I guess it's a lot easier...

82
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,290
Staring at a fastball...behind the fence, huh?

83
00:03:48,290 --> 00:03:49,747
Well, I had a choice.

84
00:03:49,747 --> 00:03:54,422
I could either stand here, and let this guy embarrass me...In front of everybody...

85
00:03:54,422 --> 00:03:56,351
Or...

86
00:03:56,351 --> 00:03:59,898
I could do it myself. After all...

87
00:03:59,898 --> 00:04:01,811
This wasn't my tryout.

88
00:04:01,811 --> 00:04:08,182
I was just gonna stand up there...
And take three swings.

89
00:04:08,182 --> 00:04:10,661
Pick 'em up! Pick 'em up! Pick 'em up!

90
00:04:10,661 --> 00:04:12,229
Get the ball - hurry!

91
00:04:12,229 --> 00:04:16,946
Or...maybe just one.

92
00:04:17,976 --> 00:04:19,671
I can't believe this happened.

93
00:04:19,671 --> 00:04:21,011
Me either.

94
00:04:21,011 --> 00:04:23,254
Man, the first pitch, and you nailed it.

95
00:04:23,254 --> 00:04:25,179
A lucky hit.

96
00:04:25,179 --> 00:04:26,266
Sure.

97
00:04:26,266 --> 00:04:27,366
He almost got it by you...

98
00:04:27,366 --> 00:04:28,372
I know.

99
00:04:28,372 --> 00:04:30,452
You swung so late...
You put it in the opposite field.

100
00:04:30,452 --> 00:04:32,507
Well, it was understandable.

101
00:04:32,507 --> 00:04:34,095
What did I expect from Paul?

102
00:04:34,095 --> 00:04:36,555
Congratulations? A candy-gram?

103
00:04:36,555 --> 00:04:38,818
Look, Paul - it was just a lucky hit, OK?

104
00:04:38,818 --> 00:04:40,328
I mean, there's no way I'm goin' back!

105
00:04:40,328 --> 00:04:41,421
And I wasn't.

106
00:04:41,421 --> 00:04:43,926
Our long-standing friendship...
Meant more to me than -

107
00:04:43,926 --> 00:04:46,819
Going back where?

108
00:04:49,584 --> 00:04:51,388
Baseball tryouts.

109
00:04:51,388 --> 00:04:52,322
Oh...

110
00:04:52,322 --> 00:04:53,618
But wait a minute.

111
00:04:53,618 --> 00:04:57,524
Was that an actual glimmer of interest in the old man's eye?

112
00:04:57,524 --> 00:05:00,166
You tried out for baseball?

113
00:05:00,849 --> 00:05:01,712
Hmmm.

114
00:05:01,712 --> 00:05:04,374
There's nothin' quite like the feeling you get when your father...

115
00:05:04,374 --> 00:05:07,103
"Hmmm's" at you with pride in his eyes.

116
00:05:07,103 --> 00:05:08,095
Well...

117
00:05:08,095 --> 00:05:10,427
No... He just made this one lucky hit.

118
00:05:10,427 --> 00:05:12,092
It wasn't luck, Paul!

119
00:05:12,092 --> 00:05:14,487
So much for long-standing friendships.

120
00:05:14,487 --> 00:05:16,743
I nailed it on the first pitch.

121
00:05:16,743 --> 00:05:18,773
So... You went out for the team?

122
00:05:18,773 --> 00:05:21,490
- Not really. He just -
- Yeah, I did!

123
00:05:21,490 --> 00:05:22,854
I thought I'd give it a shot.

124
00:05:22,854 --> 00:05:25,600
So? Did ya make the team?

125
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,730
Well... There are still some more tryouts, but the coach told me to come back tomorrow.

126
00:05:29,730 --> 00:05:32,185
No kiddin'?

127
00:05:33,877 --> 00:05:36,164
Yep, when your dad looked at you like that...

128
00:05:36,164 --> 00:05:39,347
You felt like you could do anything.

129
00:05:39,347 --> 00:05:40,786
Strike one!

130
00:05:40,786 --> 00:05:41,998
Well...

131
00:05:41,998 --> 00:05:43,781
Almost anything.

132
00:05:43,781 --> 00:05:48,013
Come on, Arnold. Nice, easy swing - just like you did yesterday.

133
00:05:48,013 --> 00:05:50,717
Right. Got it.

134
00:05:50,717 --> 00:05:55,067
Alright. Nice easy swing.
Just relax.

135
00:05:55,067 --> 00:05:56,461
Sure, "relax".

136
00:05:56,461 --> 00:05:59,683
Nothin' on the line here, right?
Except...

137
00:05:59,683 --> 00:06:01,995
Come on, Kev!

138
00:06:01,995 --> 00:06:03,837
Give it a rip!

139
00:06:03,837 --> 00:06:07,655
My entire adolescent manhood.

140
00:06:08,127 --> 00:06:09,929
OK - the pressure was on.

141
00:06:09,929 --> 00:06:11,459
But...I was up to it.

142
00:06:11,459 --> 00:06:12,524
Strike two!

143
00:06:12,524 --> 00:06:14,241
Give it a little ride, Kev!

144
00:06:14,241 --> 00:06:16,438
All I needed here was a little concentration.

145
00:06:16,438 --> 00:06:18,697
All I had to do was make contact.

146
00:06:18,697 --> 00:06:20,687
All I had to do was...

147
00:06:20,885 --> 00:06:22,229
Strike three!

148
00:06:22,229 --> 00:06:23,805
Whiff.

149
00:06:23,805 --> 00:06:26,270
Alright, Martin - you're up. Come on.

150
00:06:26,270 --> 00:06:28,136
Arnold? Take over at second.

151
00:06:28,136 --> 00:06:33,096
OK, then. I'd have to hit the field...
And try to save a little face.

152
00:06:41,163 --> 00:06:43,779
Or fall on it.

153
00:06:45,011 --> 00:06:46,577
Alright - let's hit the showers!

154
00:06:46,577 --> 00:06:48,388
Let's go! Let's go!

155
00:06:48,388 --> 00:06:49,879
I'll have the list up when you get out.

156
00:06:49,879 --> 00:06:51,117
And there ya had it.

157
00:06:51,117 --> 00:06:53,039
Time to face up to reality.

158
00:06:53,039 --> 00:06:55,525
Take my medicine like a loser.

159
00:06:55,525 --> 00:06:56,593
Coach, uh...

160
00:06:56,593 --> 00:06:58,508
You made a couple of good plays out there.

161
00:06:58,508 --> 00:06:59,821
What?

162
00:06:59,821 --> 00:07:03,149
Let's try to make a few more, tomorrow. OK?

163
00:07:03,149 --> 00:07:04,059
You made the... Cut?!

164
00:07:04,059 --> 00:07:06,168
Uh-huh...

165
00:07:06,168 --> 00:07:07,714
I'd made the first cut.

166
00:07:07,714 --> 00:07:09,877
Never mind I had no idea why.

167
00:07:09,877 --> 00:07:12,264
I didn't know they had tryouts for batboys.

168
00:07:12,264 --> 00:07:14,912
Hey... Knock it off.
Your brother did good out there today.

169
00:07:14,912 --> 00:07:15,985
Really?

170
00:07:15,985 --> 00:07:16,863
Really?!

171
00:07:16,863 --> 00:07:18,860
Coach says he has potential.

172
00:07:18,860 --> 00:07:21,149
Yeah, that must be it. "Potential".

173
00:07:21,149 --> 00:07:23,226
The magic word.

174
00:07:23,226 --> 00:07:26,109
Well, congratulations, honey.

175
00:07:26,109 --> 00:07:27,592
So, Dad.

176
00:07:27,592 --> 00:07:29,674
You and Coach Baker talked for a long time.

177
00:07:29,674 --> 00:07:31,637
Anything besides potential come up?

178
00:07:31,637 --> 00:07:32,886
So what'd he say about me, Dad?

179
00:07:32,886 --> 00:07:36,693
Don't leave anything out, now.
Adjectives...superlatives...

180
00:07:36,693 --> 00:07:37,657
Oh, yeah...

181
00:07:37,657 --> 00:07:40,238
Kevin's coach...Is Ted Baker.

182
00:07:40,238 --> 00:07:43,161
- No! 
- Uh-hmmm.

183
00:07:43,161 --> 00:07:44,682
You know the coach?

184
00:07:44,682 --> 00:07:46,443
Yeah, we were in the Corps together.

185
00:07:46,443 --> 00:07:49,656
How interesting...
But back to the old superlatives.

186
00:07:49,656 --> 00:07:52,246
How's his wife?
What was her name?

187
00:07:52,246 --> 00:07:55,514
Arlene. You know...both of his kids are in college already?

188
00:07:55,514 --> 00:07:56,671
- No!
- Uh-hmm.

189
00:07:56,671 --> 00:07:59,599
Fascinating. 
But what did that have to do with me?

190
00:07:59,599 --> 00:08:03,004
Ted invited me...Back for tomorrow.

191
00:08:03,004 --> 00:08:04,913
Woops.

192
00:08:05,423 --> 00:08:06,948
Here's what it had to do with me.

193
00:08:06,948 --> 00:08:09,768
Errors...bobbles...

194
00:08:09,768 --> 00:08:12,700
Humiliation...

195
00:08:15,531 --> 00:08:18,571
Not that I didn't have my moments.

196
00:08:18,571 --> 00:08:22,239
It's just that my moments seemed to interfere...

197
00:08:22,604 --> 00:08:24,388
With their moments.

198
00:08:24,388 --> 00:08:25,490
Five errors.

199
00:08:25,490 --> 00:08:26,804
Six...

200
00:08:26,804 --> 00:08:29,420
Hey, there's always tomorrow, guys.

201
00:08:29,420 --> 00:08:30,526
But I doubted it.

202
00:08:30,526 --> 00:08:32,416
Sorry, kid.

203
00:08:35,487 --> 00:08:38,615
I had to cut ya.

204
00:08:38,615 --> 00:08:41,163
Better luck next time.

205
00:08:44,759 --> 00:08:47,960
Arnold? I'll see you tomorrow.

206
00:08:49,013 --> 00:08:51,356
What was goin' on here?

207
00:08:51,356 --> 00:08:54,825
It didn't add up. 
Potential was one thing, but...

208
00:08:54,825 --> 00:08:59,224
Too bad... My dad's not so buddy-buddy with the coach.

209
00:09:00,664 --> 00:09:04,205
"Buddy-buddy with the coach"?

210
00:09:04,807 --> 00:09:07,085
Congratulations.
Teddy said you made the cut.

211
00:09:07,085 --> 00:09:08,455
"Teddy"?

212
00:09:08,455 --> 00:09:12,330
I found these out here.
You can take 'em back tomorrow.

213
00:09:12,330 --> 00:09:14,173
OK.

214
00:09:14,579 --> 00:09:16,860
Come on.  Toss me a couple.

215
00:09:17,970 --> 00:09:18,740
- Dad...
- Come on.

216
00:09:18,740 --> 00:09:20,697
See if you can get one past your old man.

217
00:09:20,697 --> 00:09:25,031
Part of me wanted to know the truth.
And part of me didn't.

218
00:09:25,031 --> 00:09:27,539
OK, now - gimme your best shot.

219
00:09:27,539 --> 00:09:31,095
Teddy says your arm needs work.

220
00:09:34,118 --> 00:09:36,215
Come on...no creampuffs!

221
00:09:36,215 --> 00:09:38,007
I didn't know what to think.

222
00:09:38,007 --> 00:09:40,024
About Dad and Coach Baker.

223
00:09:40,024 --> 00:09:41,546
About making the cut.

224
00:09:41,546 --> 00:09:46,762
About a childhood dream that just days before...Had seemed to be...in the palm of my hand.

225
00:09:46,762 --> 00:09:47,834
Fire it in, now!

226
00:09:47,834 --> 00:09:54,811
All I knew was, I was about to throw a baseball harder than I'd ever thrown one in my life.

227
00:09:55,784 --> 00:09:59,011
And what had been in the palm of my hand...

228
00:09:59,011 --> 00:10:02,563
Was now out of the ballpark.

229
00:10:05,681 --> 00:10:07,532
So. How'd it go at try-outs?

230
00:10:07,532 --> 00:10:10,115
Six errors, two strike-outs.

231
00:10:10,115 --> 00:10:11,803
Well, there's always next year.

232
00:10:11,803 --> 00:10:14,244
I made the cut.

233
00:10:16,067 --> 00:10:18,108
Congratulations.

234
00:10:18,108 --> 00:10:20,990
This was getting to be too much.

235
00:10:21,180 --> 00:10:24,530
What I needed to do was just sit down...With my Jell-O cubes...

236
00:10:24,530 --> 00:10:29,767
My french fries...
and my girlfriend.

237
00:10:29,767 --> 00:10:30,778
Hi!

238
00:10:30,778 --> 00:10:32,633
Hi...

239
00:10:36,134 --> 00:10:38,174
What's wrong?

240
00:10:38,174 --> 00:10:41,034
Um, it's nothing.

241
00:10:41,163 --> 00:10:44,190
Kevin?  If something's bothering you, maybe I can help.

242
00:10:44,190 --> 00:10:47,755
Well, maybe I should tell her.
If anyone would understand...

243
00:10:47,755 --> 00:10:48,776
It would be Winnie.

244
00:10:48,776 --> 00:10:51,818
Well...

245
00:10:51,818 --> 00:10:53,388
It's tryouts.

246
00:10:53,388 --> 00:10:55,339
You see, I'm having this problem...

247
00:10:55,339 --> 00:10:57,201
Uh-huh...

248
00:10:57,201 --> 00:11:01,113
And...I can't figure it out.
I don't know what to do.

249
00:11:01,113 --> 00:11:07,963
And I'm really trying hard, ya know, cuz...it's important to me.

250
00:11:07,963 --> 00:11:10,749
Do you understand anything at all I'm saying, Winnie?

251
00:11:10,749 --> 00:11:12,327
I do.

252
00:11:12,327 --> 00:11:16,683
OK, this was what I needed!
A little dollop of feminine sensitivity.

253
00:11:16,683 --> 00:11:20,635
Try choking up a little more.
And widen your stance.

254
00:11:20,635 --> 00:11:22,402
That'll help you get the bat around quicker,

255
00:11:22,402 --> 00:11:25,735
and that way your swing won't be so late,and you can meet the ball out over the plate.

256
00:11:25,735 --> 00:11:27,729
Great...

257
00:11:27,729 --> 00:11:29,838
Everybody's an expert.

258
00:11:30,688 --> 00:11:32,565
Tryout day number three.

259
00:11:32,565 --> 00:11:35,571
Four strike-outs, five errors, and what's worse...

260
00:11:35,571 --> 00:11:37,285
Congratulations, Arnold.

261
00:11:37,285 --> 00:11:39,574
You made the cut.

262
00:11:42,930 --> 00:11:45,636
OK - this had gone far enough.

263
00:11:45,636 --> 00:11:49,075
And now, it was time to find out why.

264
00:11:51,940 --> 00:11:53,360
Arnold...

265
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,504
Without mincing words.

266
00:11:55,504 --> 00:11:58,203
What time are tryouts tomorrow?

267
00:11:58,203 --> 00:12:00,487
Same time as every day.

268
00:12:00,487 --> 00:12:02,874
Right.

269
00:12:02,874 --> 00:12:04,105
O-kay...

270
00:12:04,105 --> 00:12:06,912
Enough chit-chat.
Let's cut to the chase.

271
00:12:06,912 --> 00:12:09,894
Why do I keep making the cuts?

272
00:12:12,017 --> 00:12:15,772
I think I know what you're gettin' at, Arnold.

273
00:12:16,333 --> 00:12:18,500
You've been making a lot of errors.

274
00:12:18,500 --> 00:12:21,888
And you haven't been handling the bat the way you'd like.

275
00:12:21,888 --> 00:12:25,521
And you're wondering...
why I keep you around...

276
00:12:25,521 --> 00:12:30,062
I think you and I know the answer to that. His name...

277
00:12:30,062 --> 00:12:31,877
Oh, no.

278
00:12:31,877 --> 00:12:34,132
Is Charlie Hustle.

279
00:12:34,132 --> 00:12:36,028
Huh?

280
00:12:36,028 --> 00:12:38,987
You have a lot of desire, kid - a lot of heart!

281
00:12:38,987 --> 00:12:41,446
That's one of the first things I look for in a player.

282
00:12:41,446 --> 00:12:42,659
Really?

283
00:12:42,659 --> 00:12:47,587
You bet. You can keep your hot-shots who think somebody owes them a starting position.

284
00:12:47,587 --> 00:12:50,031
Just give me one guy who loves the game.

285
00:12:50,031 --> 00:12:51,794
One guy who plays his heart out.

286
00:12:51,794 --> 00:12:53,953
One guy you can count on.

287
00:12:53,953 --> 00:12:56,141
"One guy". Could that be me?

288
00:12:56,141 --> 00:12:59,293
Maybe I'd been all wrong. 
Maybe I did have potential.

289
00:12:59,293 --> 00:13:02,798
Maybe making the cuts hadn't had anything at all to do with...

290
00:13:02,798 --> 00:13:05,665
Your dad saved my life in Korea?

291
00:13:05,665 --> 00:13:06,864
Huh?

292
00:13:06,864 --> 00:13:09,365
Never told ya, huh?

293
00:13:09,365 --> 00:13:11,369
Doesn't surprise me.

294
00:13:11,369 --> 00:13:16,256
Yeah...pulled me out of the line of fire, once.

295
00:13:17,043 --> 00:13:20,949
There's nothing I wouldn't do for that man.

296
00:13:32,694 --> 00:13:34,342
You saved my life!

297
00:13:34,342 --> 00:13:35,618
Ah, forget it.

298
00:13:35,618 --> 00:13:40,208
No, I owe ya, Arnold.
Anything - just name it!

299
00:13:40,208 --> 00:13:44,267
Well...Ya know, someday I may have a son.

300
00:13:44,267 --> 00:13:47,723
If you're ever in a position to put him on a baseball team, I'd really appreciate it.

301
00:13:47,723 --> 00:13:49,285
Consider it done.

302
00:13:49,285 --> 00:13:52,172
You know, in fact...
it would be nice if...

303
00:13:52,172 --> 00:13:53,412
He were a starter.

304
00:13:53,412 --> 00:13:56,022
Well, you know...I can't promise anything.

305
00:13:56,022 --> 00:13:59,525
Look out!

306
00:14:03,525 --> 00:14:05,399
Ah...starter it is.

307
00:14:05,399 --> 00:14:07,820
Yeah. And I'm sure he'd like to play somewhere in the infield.

308
00:14:07,820 --> 00:14:09,213
Well, I don't know...

309
00:14:09,213 --> 00:14:11,231
Look out! Look out!

310
00:14:14,081 --> 00:14:16,871
How about short-stop?

311
00:14:16,871 --> 00:14:19,554
Come on.
Let's get the hell outta here!

312
00:14:19,828 --> 00:14:22,711
It gave a whole new meaning to the concept of war...

313
00:14:22,711 --> 00:14:26,884
Knowing that millions of brave men had gone off to fight and saved lives...

314
00:14:26,884 --> 00:14:31,146
Just so their inept sons...
Could play junior high school baseball.

315
00:14:31,146 --> 00:14:36,759
Hey, ya know? I've been thinkin'. 
This mitt of yours is gettin' kinda ratty.

316
00:14:36,759 --> 00:14:39,642
How'd ya like to go out...and get a new one?

317
00:14:39,642 --> 00:14:40,833
A new mitt?

318
00:14:40,833 --> 00:14:42,985
Yeah - why not?

319
00:14:43,150 --> 00:14:44,591
I don't need a new mitt.

320
00:14:44,591 --> 00:14:48,592
Hey - wait'll you get a whiff of that fresh new rawhide on your hand.

321
00:14:48,592 --> 00:14:49,607
What d'ya say?

322
00:14:49,607 --> 00:14:51,976
Though moments like this from my father were rare...

323
00:14:51,976 --> 00:14:54,506
It wasn't hard to see what he was feeling.

324
00:14:54,506 --> 00:14:58,793
Unfortunately...I also had an idea of why.

325
00:14:58,793 --> 00:15:01,433
There's no way I could break it in, in time for tomorrow.

326
00:15:01,433 --> 00:15:06,891
Course not.  I just have a feelin' you're gonna need it...after tomorrow.

327
00:15:06,891 --> 00:15:09,681
And there it was - the smoking gun.

328
00:15:09,681 --> 00:15:10,875
The dead giveaway.

329
00:15:10,875 --> 00:15:15,458
We'll go down to Kel's sporting goods......they must have a ton...... in stock right now.

330
00:15:15,716 --> 00:15:19,393
Come on - it'll be fun, Kev.
Let's go!

331
00:15:19,393 --> 00:15:23,382
Look.  I don't want a new mitt.
I can do fine with my own, OK?!

332
00:15:23,382 --> 00:15:25,017
Let 'em get his own mitt.

333
00:15:25,017 --> 00:15:28,029
I was sick of playing someone else's game.

334
00:15:28,029 --> 00:15:31,558
The only thing I wanted...was to prove that I didn't need any favors.

335
00:15:31,558 --> 00:15:33,156
That I deserved to be here.

336
00:15:33,156 --> 00:15:35,873
I wanted...To prove it to the guys trying out...

337
00:15:35,873 --> 00:15:37,309
To the couch...

338
00:15:37,309 --> 00:15:41,577
But most of all, I wanted to prove it...to myself.

339
00:15:41,577 --> 00:15:43,330
Alright, let's go!

340
00:15:43,330 --> 00:15:44,880
Let's look alive out there!

341
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,680
This is it - there's no tomorrow!

342
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,230
Show me what you got out there!

343
00:15:48,230 --> 00:15:54,560
Alright, if I did have anything to show,
I was gonna show it now.

344
00:16:07,348 --> 00:16:10,369
Stee-rike one.

345
00:16:11,315 --> 00:16:13,043
Nice shot!

346
00:16:13,043 --> 00:16:15,365
Thanks.

347
00:16:16,884 --> 00:16:18,512
You bust one?

348
00:16:18,512 --> 00:16:19,548
Yeah.

349
00:16:19,548 --> 00:16:22,094
Alright...come and get a new one.
Let's go! Hustle!

350
00:16:22,094 --> 00:16:25,335
Why bother? I could play as bad as I wanted to.

351
00:16:25,335 --> 00:16:27,614
I could strike out nine times in a row.

352
00:16:27,614 --> 00:16:30,311
I could try out for band...and still make this team.

353
00:16:30,311 --> 00:16:35,885
Hey, Horton! Let's look alive out there!And "Torchillo"...you're playing too deep in center!

354
00:16:35,885 --> 00:16:37,601
Baker's final cuts.

355
00:16:37,601 --> 00:16:39,066
I didn't even have to look.

356
00:16:39,066 --> 00:16:41,518
It was humiliating, it was degrading.
- More! More! Over, more!

357
00:16:41,518 --> 00:16:45,549
I oughtta cross my name off that list.
- Come on, now - I want to see some hustle!

358
00:16:45,549 --> 00:16:48,759
Except...I didn't have to.

359
00:16:48,759 --> 00:16:50,057
Hey, you!

360
00:16:50,057 --> 00:16:51,384
I'd been cut!

361
00:16:51,384 --> 00:16:53,757
Katt - move over there, and cover that line over there.

362
00:16:53,757 --> 00:16:57,781
It was unbelievable. It was...great!

363
00:16:57,781 --> 00:17:01,132
It meant my dad hadn't been pulling strings for me.

364
00:17:01,132 --> 00:17:03,570
He'd just been pulling for me.

365
00:17:03,570 --> 00:17:05,685
Let's look alive, out there!

366
00:17:05,685 --> 00:17:08,401
It meant I really did have potential.

367
00:17:08,401 --> 00:17:10,952
OK, now - batter up.

368
00:17:12,774 --> 00:17:15,293
As I stepped back up to the plate...

369
00:17:15,293 --> 00:17:21,522
All the cares, all the worries, all the burdens I'd carried around for the past few days just disappeared.

370
00:17:21,522 --> 00:17:25,398
Alright, come on, now, Arnold! 
Give it a poke.  Give it a ride!

371
00:17:25,398 --> 00:17:28,971
Suddenly, the outside world...
Fell away.

372
00:17:28,971 --> 00:17:30,459
It was just me.

373
00:17:30,459 --> 00:17:32,776
And baseball.

374
00:17:38,923 --> 00:17:41,550
Come on, Kevin - give it a rip!

375
00:17:41,550 --> 00:17:43,707
Let's go!

376
00:17:43,707 --> 00:17:46,354
Come on, Kevin - give it a rip!

377
00:17:46,354 --> 00:17:50,386
My moment had arrived.

378
00:17:56,906 --> 00:18:00,297
And I knew what I had to do.

379
00:18:11,101 --> 00:18:12,837
I'm not sure how I did it.

380
00:18:12,837 --> 00:18:15,384
My memory begins with the crack of the bat.

381
00:18:15,384 --> 00:18:18,432
And the sight of the ball rising...

382
00:18:22,020 --> 00:18:26,464
The Giants win the pennant!
The Giants win the pennant!

383
00:18:26,464 --> 00:18:31,740
They're going crazy!
They're going crazy!

384
00:18:31,740 --> 00:18:39,959
I don't believe it!
I don't believe it!

385
00:19:13,411 --> 00:19:16,275
Maybe that's not exactly the way it happened...

386
00:19:16,376 --> 00:19:19,137
but that's the way...
It should have happened.

387
00:19:19,137 --> 00:19:22,838
And that's the way I'd like to remember it.

388
00:19:24,032 --> 00:19:28,000
And if dreams and memories sometimes get confused, well...

389
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,056
That's as it should be.

390
00:19:38,705 --> 00:19:43,255
Because every kid deserves to be a hero.

391
00:19:48,490 --> 00:19:53,503
Every kid already is.

392
00:19:53,503 --> 00:20:00,232
