3
00:03:19,323 --> 00:03:20,408
You're cheating.
4
00:03:22,452 --> 00:03:24,787
Girls don't know spit about baseball.
5
00:03:25,580 --> 00:03:28,958
Crippled as you are,
you can't make no full-body rotation.
6
00:03:34,172 --> 00:03:37,008
-If you ain't cheating, then how--?
-I just can.
7
00:03:43,890 --> 00:03:45,308
That's a homer.
8
00:03:46,559 --> 00:03:48,603
Boy, I know what a homer looks like.
9
00:03:48,686 --> 00:03:50,897
It don't count
unless you're batting in the majors.
10
00:03:50,980 --> 00:03:51,981
Majors?
11
00:03:52,482 --> 00:03:54,942
Boy, you're never gonna play
one inning in the majors.
12
00:04:00,573 --> 00:04:02,158
Never say never.
13
00:04:05,244 --> 00:04:06,496
You really believe?
14
00:04:07,789 --> 00:04:10,333
-Cross your heart and hope to die?
-That's a heathen vow.
15
00:04:20,218 --> 00:04:21,761
Still think I'm cheating?
16
00:04:21,844 --> 00:04:23,388
I think you're crazy.
17
00:04:25,223 --> 00:04:26,724
But you are my boyfriend.
18
00:04:28,393 --> 00:04:29,894
See you later, alligator.
19
00:04:34,816 --> 00:04:37,694
Don't even think of getting sweet on her.
20
00:04:37,777 --> 00:04:39,404
She's Earl Shanz's.
21
00:04:39,487 --> 00:04:41,614
Man drinks like a steer on a tank at noon,
22
00:04:41,698 --> 00:04:45,326
and is mean enough to steal the pennies
off a dead man's eyes.
23
00:04:45,410 --> 00:04:46,452
Connie?
24
00:04:47,537 --> 00:04:48,371
Come here.
25
00:04:52,458 --> 00:04:54,585
We don't speak ill of our neighbors.
26
00:04:54,669 --> 00:04:56,838
I'm just looking out for Rickey.
27
00:04:56,921 --> 00:05:00,049
Well, Rickey's got to learn
to look out for himself.
28
00:05:00,133 --> 00:05:02,635
He's playing the game of love.
29
00:05:02,719 --> 00:05:05,763
That's run by women and lost by men.
30
00:05:08,850 --> 00:05:13,980
So I want you both
to interpret Ephesians 4:25 tonight.
31
00:05:14,731 --> 00:05:15,565
You know that?
32
00:05:15,648 --> 00:05:18,109
"Speak truth, each one of you,
with his neighbor,
33
00:05:18,192 --> 00:05:20,028
for we are members of one another."
34
00:05:20,111 --> 00:05:21,195
That's really good.
35
00:05:22,363 --> 00:05:23,823
Go on and get in the car.
36
00:05:24,365 --> 00:05:25,450
Come on.
37
00:05:25,533 --> 00:05:27,452
Connie, you can help me lock up, okay?
38
00:05:27,535 --> 00:05:28,870
How does he do that?
39
00:05:29,454 --> 00:05:31,664
Honey, Rickey's got a gift.
40
00:05:33,249 --> 00:05:35,460
So I'll cherish
41
00:05:35,543 --> 00:05:40,089
The old rugged cross
42
00:05:41,132 --> 00:05:43,509
Till my trophies
43
00:05:43,593 --> 00:05:47,889
At last I lay down
44
00:05:48,681 --> 00:05:50,224
I will cling
45
00:05:50,308 --> 00:05:56,314
To the old rugged cross
46
00:05:56,397 --> 00:05:58,733
And exchange it
47
00:05:58,816 --> 00:06:04,906
One day for a crown
48
00:06:08,951 --> 00:06:12,330
"Give me a man
that we may fight together."
49
00:06:12,413 --> 00:06:13,831
Amen.
50
00:06:13,915 --> 00:06:17,168
Those are the words
of the giant Philistine Goliath,
51
00:06:17,251 --> 00:06:19,712
taunting the armies of Israel,
52
00:06:19,796 --> 00:06:21,964
and no one would come out and fight him.
53
00:06:22,048 --> 00:06:23,341
No one but David.
54
00:06:23,424 --> 00:06:26,469
And how did David smite Goliath?
55
00:06:26,552 --> 00:06:28,679
-A stone!
-Amen, Brother Hill.
56
00:06:28,763 --> 00:06:30,348
A stone.
57
00:06:30,932 --> 00:06:34,227
A stone, it says right here
in Verse 40, 1 Samuel.
58
00:06:34,310 --> 00:06:40,316
"And so David stopped by a brook
and chose him five smooth stones."
59
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,153
Well, why didn't David gather
the largest stone,
60
00:06:44,237 --> 00:06:45,947
or the most jagged stone?
61
00:06:46,030 --> 00:06:49,200
David knew jagged rocks
got a will of their own.
62
00:06:49,283 --> 00:06:51,619
Things can veer off
and shimmy all over creation.
63
00:06:51,703 --> 00:06:53,037
He made a savvy bet!
64
00:06:53,621 --> 00:06:55,123
Savvy indeed.
65
00:06:55,206 --> 00:06:59,168
But maybe we ought to let
some other members of the congregation
66
00:06:59,252 --> 00:07:00,878
voice their response.
67
00:07:00,962 --> 00:07:04,215
So I say this. What shapes a stone?
68
00:07:04,841 --> 00:07:07,427
God's water shapes a stone.
69
00:07:07,510 --> 00:07:10,972
And we, as Christians, as children of God,
70
00:07:11,055 --> 00:07:12,932
we are being constantly shaped,
71
00:07:13,015 --> 00:07:17,937
and after we're baptized, we are sent out
into the world as His messengers,
72
00:07:18,020 --> 00:07:24,235
and we fly straight and true
to the very snout of Satan, so that we...
73
00:07:26,779 --> 00:07:31,075
can fight our own Goliath, and...
74
00:07:35,788 --> 00:07:38,916
You know, I, myself,
have been afraid to say this,
75
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,543
but I'm just gonna say it.
76
00:07:41,711 --> 00:07:44,964
Sister Babbit, Brother Shanz,
77
00:07:45,048 --> 00:07:48,217
you uplift me
with your presence here today, you do.
78
00:07:48,301 --> 00:07:52,263
May I kindly ask you
to refrain from smoking
79
00:07:52,346 --> 00:07:56,601
and from chewing and dipping
during Sunday services?
80
00:07:56,684 --> 00:07:58,603
I work six days on a live well
81
00:07:58,686 --> 00:08:01,814
ready to burst
into fire and brimstone at any time.
82
00:08:03,024 --> 00:08:05,985
Now, if you knew a thing
about wildcatting,
83
00:08:06,069 --> 00:08:10,615
you'd appreciate
that I get exactly zero smoke breaks.
84
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,660
But can't you see
how you and Sister Babbit
85
00:08:14,744 --> 00:08:18,247
are defiling His glorious sanctuary
86
00:08:18,331 --> 00:08:23,336
with your spit
and with your ashes all over His floor?
87
00:08:23,419 --> 00:08:26,756
It's a weakness born of man.
88
00:08:29,884 --> 00:08:31,344
Oh, I see the weakness.
89
00:08:31,427 --> 00:08:33,888
High and mighty man collects $50 a month
90
00:08:33,971 --> 00:08:36,057
to preach
to some decent, hardscrabble folk
91
00:08:36,140 --> 00:08:38,935
he's never even stepped off the pulpit
to get to know.
92
00:08:39,018 --> 00:08:41,104
We hardly got a pleasure in life.
93
00:08:41,187 --> 00:08:45,650
I expect the Almighty
can see His way around our frailties.
94
00:08:46,234 --> 00:08:48,528
I am your pastor,
95
00:08:48,611 --> 00:08:51,614
so it is my place, in fact, it's my duty,
96
00:08:51,698 --> 00:08:57,202
to preserve the sanctity of God's house.
97
00:08:59,663 --> 00:09:02,249
Ain't about to allow some
holier-than-thou preacher
98
00:09:02,333 --> 00:09:05,670
toss me a few crumbs over a damn smoke.
99
00:09:05,753 --> 00:09:12,677
And I am not gonna let the Lord's house
look and smell like Satan's saloon.
100
00:09:17,890 --> 00:09:19,142
Mrs. Babbit.
101
00:09:20,476 --> 00:09:22,895
Wouldn't they ask you
to pour oil on troubled waters?
102
00:09:22,979 --> 00:09:24,939
Do you wanna clean tobacco juice
103
00:09:25,022 --> 00:09:26,441
-off the church floor?
-No.
104
00:09:26,524 --> 00:09:29,110
-I'm gonna close up.
-Okay.
105
00:09:29,193 --> 00:09:32,321
-We missing it?
-Not if we get there in three minutes.
106
00:09:32,405 --> 00:09:33,239
Let's go.
107
00:09:34,073 --> 00:09:37,076
You're his wife.
You should talk some sense to him.
108
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,286
I'm trying, Mama.
109
00:09:42,498 --> 00:09:44,208
Where are them three off to?
110
00:09:47,754 --> 00:09:49,464
They're just being children.
111
00:10:09,442 --> 00:10:12,695
Seems unfair. We're paying admission
for peace and quiet.
112
00:10:12,779 --> 00:10:16,115
They're the preacher's kids,
ain't got a nickel to rub together.
113
00:10:16,908 --> 00:10:18,201
Meanwhile, Richardson scores.
114
00:10:18,284 --> 00:10:19,994
...gets one strike on Mantle,
115
00:10:20,078 --> 00:10:23,289
and there it goes,
over the right-field fence...
116
00:10:26,167 --> 00:10:28,544
Gonna feel so charitable
when they bust your window?
117
00:10:34,092 --> 00:10:35,676
That's gonna be you one day.
118
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:36,636
Thanks.
119
00:10:41,391 --> 00:10:42,266
Come on!
120
00:10:43,976 --> 00:10:46,145
Doc says
you get those braces off next year.
121
00:10:46,771 --> 00:10:49,315
They were supposed
to take them off last year.
122
00:11:03,663 --> 00:11:04,706
Bring it on.
123
00:11:04,789 --> 00:11:06,874
I'll knock it out just like Mantle.
124
00:11:07,458 --> 00:11:10,253
Greetings out there in TV land.
125
00:11:10,336 --> 00:11:12,463
We're back at the 50-yard line.
126
00:11:12,547 --> 00:11:14,924
-The what?
-Well, I hate baseball.
127
00:11:20,138 --> 00:11:22,098
Nobody takes it easy on you in the majors.
128
00:11:25,143 --> 00:11:26,936
Put some fire on it.
129
00:11:29,564 --> 00:11:32,358
Koufax warms his arm
here at the Yankee Stadium.
130
00:11:32,442 --> 00:11:34,360
Tie game, bottom of the ninth.
131
00:11:34,444 --> 00:11:36,404
At bat, Rickey Hill.
132
00:11:36,487 --> 00:11:38,322
Koufax hurls a surprise slider.
133
00:11:38,406 --> 00:11:41,117
Hill swings, swats a long fly ball!
134
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:42,910
Might be-- Could be-- It is!
135
00:11:42,994 --> 00:11:45,830
Hill's third moonshot tonight.
136
00:11:52,045 --> 00:11:53,546
The faster it comes in...
137
00:11:54,630 --> 00:11:56,049
the faster it goes out.
138
00:12:11,064 --> 00:12:13,316
Oh, my gosh! What did you do?
139
00:12:13,858 --> 00:12:15,151
Let's go!
140
00:12:17,111 --> 00:12:18,529
Let's get out of here.
141
00:12:20,198 --> 00:12:22,492
-What are you doing?
-What Daddy taught.
142
00:12:23,076 --> 00:12:25,953
Whatever you done,
take responsibility for it.
143
00:12:41,427 --> 00:12:42,637
You hit this rock?
144
00:12:43,346 --> 00:12:44,555
Sorry, mister.
145
00:12:44,639 --> 00:12:46,557
I'll get a job to pay for it.
146
00:12:46,641 --> 00:12:49,018
Now, hold up. You telling me...
147
00:12:49,852 --> 00:12:54,649
that you hit this rock over them trees
and into my windshield
148
00:12:54,732 --> 00:12:56,192
with that lousy stick?
149
00:12:56,776 --> 00:13:00,154
That's a couple hundred feet, easy.
And you done it wearing them things?
150
00:13:00,822 --> 00:13:01,864
Imagine that.
151
00:13:04,158 --> 00:13:05,451
You know what a prodigy is?
152
00:13:06,911 --> 00:13:07,745
No, sir.
153
00:13:07,829 --> 00:13:09,038
Well, look it up.
154
00:13:09,914 --> 00:13:11,958
When you get them legs healed up,
155
00:13:12,041 --> 00:13:14,794
I'm gonna be the first guy
at the gate to buy a ticket.
156
00:13:14,877 --> 00:13:15,712
But I owe you.
157
00:13:15,795 --> 00:13:16,963
Forget the windshield.
158
00:13:17,046 --> 00:13:18,756
I got two yards across the state
159
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,802
full of more old windshields
than I can ever pawn off in a lifetime.
160
00:13:23,636 --> 00:13:24,804
But miracles...
161
00:13:25,972 --> 00:13:27,473
them I'm a little shy on.
162
00:13:28,933 --> 00:13:30,476
I want you to do it again.
163
00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:32,353
Show me.
164
00:13:34,897 --> 00:13:35,815
Now, go on.
165
00:13:56,461 --> 00:13:57,628
Well, I'll be.
166
00:13:58,588 --> 00:14:00,882
We receive your bounty, Lord,
167
00:14:01,591 --> 00:14:06,387
to better fortify our bodies and minds
so that we may serve you.
168
00:14:06,971 --> 00:14:09,724
We pray in the name
of your son Jesus. Amen.
169
00:14:09,807 --> 00:14:11,142
Amen.
170
00:14:16,606 --> 00:14:20,109
It's a mite hard to muster
when he provideth so little.
171
00:14:21,194 --> 00:14:24,030
Y'all see Daddy peg down
that old crow spit-and-chew this morning?
172
00:14:24,697 --> 00:14:26,991
Along with some ticked-off church folk,
173
00:14:27,075 --> 00:14:29,827
grousing how your daddy has a bent
for biting the hand
174
00:14:29,911 --> 00:14:31,871
that barely feeds his family.
175
00:14:31,954 --> 00:14:33,539
Fifty dollars a month.
176
00:14:34,290 --> 00:14:35,917
Your children are starving.
177
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,460
You know, sometimes, Lilian,
178
00:14:37,543 --> 00:14:41,130
doing God's work
takes the sacrifice of the apostles.
179
00:14:41,214 --> 00:14:43,424
None of the apostles had bad bones.
180
00:14:43,508 --> 00:14:45,802
That's enough. You hear me?
181
00:14:45,885 --> 00:14:46,803
Enough.
182
00:14:46,886 --> 00:14:48,346
You can shut me down.
183
00:14:49,722 --> 00:14:52,141
How you gonna quiet the voice in your head
184
00:14:52,225 --> 00:14:55,728
saying that you starved that boy down
to nothing and put him in a wheelchair?
185
00:14:57,021 --> 00:14:59,107
Most devout man I know.
186
00:14:59,190 --> 00:15:01,109
Your eyes are so busy studying Heaven,
187
00:15:01,192 --> 00:15:03,945
you don't see the misery
you're putting your family through.
188
00:15:04,028 --> 00:15:07,699
I am not going to apologize
for my devotion to God.
189
00:15:07,782 --> 00:15:09,450
Mama, stop.
190
00:15:10,284 --> 00:15:12,537
You see that woman? That's your daughter.
191
00:15:12,620 --> 00:15:15,957
She's got faith.
You never hear one complaint out of her.
192
00:15:16,582 --> 00:15:17,959
She's got faith.
193
00:15:18,751 --> 00:15:21,087
-You?
-It's all I got.
194
00:15:22,338 --> 00:15:24,048
And it sustains me.
195
00:15:25,133 --> 00:15:26,718
But I live here on Earth.
196
00:15:27,510 --> 00:15:30,930
And your son needs doctoring,
and that takes money.
197
00:15:31,931 --> 00:15:33,933
You can see
he's already outgrown them braces.
198
00:15:34,016 --> 00:15:36,894
He ain't gonna get no better
without new ones.
199
00:15:38,020 --> 00:15:39,397
New ones?
200
00:15:42,525 --> 00:15:45,445
Rickey, the doctor believes that--
201
00:15:45,528 --> 00:15:46,779
Can I be excused?
202
00:15:47,363 --> 00:15:48,322
Yes, son.
203
00:15:57,373 --> 00:15:58,666
Satisfied, Lilian?
204
00:15:59,792 --> 00:16:01,753
Here, son, have my cornbread.
205
00:16:05,965 --> 00:16:07,508
"...very great."
206
00:16:07,592 --> 00:16:08,468
Fourteen.
207
00:16:09,218 --> 00:16:10,595
"For he had possession..."
208
00:16:10,678 --> 00:16:11,679
You know what?
209
00:16:12,346 --> 00:16:13,806
I got a little something for you.
210
00:16:19,604 --> 00:16:20,813
How'd you get these?
211
00:16:20,897 --> 00:16:22,815
Saved up. Three months.
212
00:16:25,401 --> 00:16:26,736
Mickey Mantle!
213
00:16:26,819 --> 00:16:28,279
What's going on in here?
214
00:16:29,947 --> 00:16:31,991
You're supposed to be reading
your Bible verses.
215
00:16:32,658 --> 00:16:33,534
Robert.
216
00:16:34,118 --> 00:16:35,328
What you hiding?
217
00:16:35,411 --> 00:16:36,287
Hand me your Bible.
218
00:16:37,455 --> 00:16:38,873
Hand me your Bible, Robert.
219
00:16:45,797 --> 00:16:47,090
Baseball cards.
220
00:16:47,173 --> 00:16:48,758
I don't approve of this.
221
00:16:49,926 --> 00:16:53,096
This sells the worship of false idols.
222
00:16:53,179 --> 00:16:55,348
No, they sell gum.
223
00:16:55,431 --> 00:16:56,974
You think I'm kidding?
224
00:16:57,683 --> 00:16:59,560
-Is that what you think?
-No, sir.
225
00:16:59,644 --> 00:17:01,270
Robert, are these yours?
226
00:17:01,354 --> 00:17:03,022
Yes, sir.
227
00:17:03,106 --> 00:17:06,359
Robert, you are
your younger brother's keeper.
228
00:17:06,442 --> 00:17:10,738
And you are responsible
for what you put in his mind.
229
00:17:11,322 --> 00:17:12,490
You hear me?
230
00:17:12,573 --> 00:17:16,494
I know, it's just
that Rickey loves baseball--
231
00:17:16,577 --> 00:17:18,746
He's not gonna play baseball.
232
00:17:22,041 --> 00:17:25,253
Rickey, now, I've seen you
out there behind the church,
233
00:17:25,336 --> 00:17:26,587
swinging that stick,
234
00:17:26,671 --> 00:17:29,507
and you'd be out there
all day long if you could.
235
00:17:30,216 --> 00:17:32,135
Even when you're suffering pain.
236
00:17:33,553 --> 00:17:35,637
But you can't play baseball.
237
00:17:35,722 --> 00:17:37,265
You can't even run.
238
00:17:37,347 --> 00:17:39,976
And if you try,
you're gonna get ridiculed,
239
00:17:40,058 --> 00:17:41,685
you're gonna get made fun of,
240
00:17:41,769 --> 00:17:45,773
and you're gonna wind up
with an injury that you'll never get over.
241
00:17:46,899 --> 00:17:47,983
My legs?
242
00:17:48,067 --> 00:17:51,154
No, son. I'm talking about your spirit.
243
00:17:51,237 --> 00:17:52,238
Now, listen.
244
00:17:53,114 --> 00:17:54,115
You're special.
245
00:17:54,741 --> 00:17:56,409
You got the heart of a lion.
246
00:17:56,492 --> 00:17:59,787
But you got the soul of a tender lamb.
247
00:18:00,538 --> 00:18:03,291
And I wanna protect that.
248
00:18:04,042 --> 00:18:08,296
If you're not playing baseball,
you got your time all freed up
249
00:18:08,379 --> 00:18:12,800
to pursue a higher calling,
preaching God's word.
250
00:18:13,718 --> 00:18:16,095
Where your earthly legs have failed you,
251
00:18:16,721 --> 00:18:20,141
God's gonna give you wings to fly.
252
00:18:20,683 --> 00:18:22,685
You understand me, don't you, son?
253
00:18:25,229 --> 00:18:26,314
That's my boy.
254
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:28,274
Love you.
255
00:18:33,946 --> 00:18:35,156
Read your verses.
256
00:18:35,239 --> 00:18:36,157
I'm listening.
257
00:18:48,127 --> 00:18:52,715
Those that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength.
258
00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:55,593
They shall run and not be weary.
259
00:19:21,828 --> 00:19:23,538
What's going on here, Earl?
260
00:19:24,872 --> 00:19:29,502
Seems like the flock
and the shepherd have hit an impasse.
261
00:19:29,585 --> 00:19:30,628
Is that right?
262
00:19:31,713 --> 00:19:33,548
Some of us are sure gonna miss you.
263
00:19:35,258 --> 00:19:36,759
But we just got here.
264
00:19:36,843 --> 00:19:38,553
And we just kicked you out!
265
00:19:38,636 --> 00:19:39,637
Now, be quick.
266
00:19:39,721 --> 00:19:41,139
We need that house back.
267
00:19:42,432 --> 00:19:44,100
Well, don't you worry.
268
00:19:45,643 --> 00:19:47,854
We won't stay where we're not wanted.
269
00:19:48,521 --> 00:19:50,022
We'll be gone by morning.
270
00:19:55,611 --> 00:19:56,529
Helen.
271
00:19:56,612 --> 00:19:58,156
You ought to be ashamed.
272
00:19:58,239 --> 00:19:59,782
Oh, shi--
273
00:19:59,866 --> 00:20:00,950
Shoot.
274
00:20:01,034 --> 00:20:03,327
-Shoot.
-My husband is a fine man.
275
00:20:03,411 --> 00:20:08,708
He's good, righteous, and given his life
and happiness to serve the Lord.
276
00:20:09,500 --> 00:20:11,919
He placed you all above his own children.
277
00:20:12,003 --> 00:20:14,630
How do you repay such selfless devotion?
278
00:20:14,714 --> 00:20:16,466
You run him out of his own church
279
00:20:16,549 --> 00:20:19,927
and put his kids on the street.
280
00:20:20,887 --> 00:20:21,804
Why?
281
00:20:22,555 --> 00:20:24,557
'Cause your pastor asked you to behave
282
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,518
like the God-fearing people
he believed you were?
283
00:20:28,311 --> 00:20:30,313
Decent, hardscrabble folk?
284
00:20:31,522 --> 00:20:32,356
No.
285
00:20:34,817 --> 00:20:37,737
You do not deserve James Hill.
286
00:20:52,293 --> 00:20:53,378
Helen, I--
287
00:20:53,461 --> 00:20:54,796
We're gonna be fine.
288
00:21:00,927 --> 00:21:02,845
I wish you were staying.
289
00:21:02,929 --> 00:21:05,431
I wish we weren't going.
290
00:21:06,015 --> 00:21:08,393
Am I ever gonna see
my only-ever boyfriend again?
291
00:21:10,269 --> 00:21:11,479
I don't know.
292
00:21:12,939 --> 00:21:14,148
I'll miss you.
293
00:21:15,024 --> 00:21:16,192
Later, gator.
294
00:22:02,113 --> 00:22:03,114
Is that Earl?
295
00:22:04,115 --> 00:22:05,283
He's drunk, Daddy.
296
00:22:06,534 --> 00:22:08,036
He's gonna kill somebody.
297
00:22:13,958 --> 00:22:14,792
Earl.
298
00:22:17,045 --> 00:22:18,838
Earl. You're drunk.
299
00:22:19,589 --> 00:22:20,715
You shouldn't be driving.
300
00:22:21,299 --> 00:22:24,302
And you shouldn't be acting
like you still got weight in this town.
301
00:22:25,595 --> 00:22:27,930
Don't let the screen door hit you.
302
00:22:34,145 --> 00:22:35,855
I can't let you drive.
303
00:22:35,938 --> 00:22:37,190
Rickey.
304
00:22:40,943 --> 00:22:41,778
Fine.
305
00:22:42,612 --> 00:22:43,696
Have it your way.
306
00:22:44,447 --> 00:22:45,990
He's just trying to save your neck!
307
00:22:47,033 --> 00:22:47,867
My neck?
308
00:22:47,950 --> 00:22:48,951
My neck?
309
00:22:52,622 --> 00:22:54,290
Don't you touch my boy.
310
00:22:54,874 --> 00:22:56,125
You stay away from my kid.
311
00:23:03,508 --> 00:23:05,093
Daddy's a badass.
312
00:23:07,220 --> 00:23:08,471
Get in the car.
313
00:23:10,890 --> 00:23:12,266
What were you doing?
314
00:23:12,350 --> 00:23:14,227
Come on, Earl. Stand up.
315
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,855
-You think you're better than me?
-Nope.
316
00:23:18,606 --> 00:23:21,734
I'm sure you'd kick my butt
if you weren't so drunk. Watch it.
317
00:23:21,818 --> 00:23:24,779
You think you're better than me
'cause you can read that book.
318
00:23:25,697 --> 00:23:28,658
Get in the house.
Earl, get in the house.
319
00:23:36,958 --> 00:23:38,126
My fault.
320
00:23:40,503 --> 00:23:42,422
What were y'all quarreling about?
321
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:44,716
You.
322
00:23:45,925 --> 00:23:48,386
He's dangerous when he gets like this.
323
00:23:49,303 --> 00:23:50,847
And he's like this more and more.
324
00:23:51,556 --> 00:23:52,682
Thank you, pastor.
325
00:23:54,308 --> 00:23:56,769
Just save it for Sheriff Dalton.
326
00:23:56,853 --> 00:24:00,565
I imagine he's gonna be
making a visit here shortly.
327
00:24:03,276 --> 00:24:04,402
Pastor.
328
00:24:06,362 --> 00:24:08,948
You gave it your best
the only way you know.
329
00:24:09,782 --> 00:24:12,118
Won't a soul appreciate that
till you're gone.
330
00:24:12,702 --> 00:24:13,536
Thank you.
331
00:24:14,328 --> 00:24:15,830
God bless you.
332
00:26:19,954 --> 00:26:22,582
Jesus, Jesus, help me, Jesus.
333
00:26:22,665 --> 00:26:24,709
I'm at the end of my rope. Please help me.
334
00:26:26,210 --> 00:26:29,047
With you, all things are possible, Lord.
Please.
335
00:26:30,631 --> 00:26:32,216
Give me a sign.
336
00:26:32,300 --> 00:26:33,760
Please give me a sign.
337
00:26:48,608 --> 00:26:50,109
God dang!
338
00:26:50,193 --> 00:26:51,486
God!
339
00:26:52,195 --> 00:26:53,905
God! God!
340
00:27:01,537 --> 00:27:02,497
You okay, Daddy?
341
00:27:03,831 --> 00:27:05,333
I'm just tired, son.
342
00:27:06,250 --> 00:27:07,293
James.
343
00:27:09,796 --> 00:27:11,297
We're out of gas.
344
00:27:11,381 --> 00:27:13,424
All right, well,
someone's gonna come along.
345
00:27:14,092 --> 00:27:14,926
Let's just...
346
00:27:15,009 --> 00:27:17,345
Meanwhile, let's, you know,
get the spare put on.
347
00:27:17,428 --> 00:27:18,971
We ain't got no spare.
348
00:27:19,055 --> 00:27:21,599
Daddy, I patched it up yesterday.
349
00:27:21,682 --> 00:27:23,810
I traded it for gas last night.
350
00:27:28,064 --> 00:27:29,690
And you done right.
351
00:27:30,274 --> 00:27:34,070
That's how hardscrabble folk get by,
minute-to-minute.
352
00:27:34,153 --> 00:27:37,699
Making tough calls in a mean world.
353
00:27:37,782 --> 00:27:39,701
Doing our damnedest.
354
00:27:39,784 --> 00:27:44,747
Times come, don't matter how well
you mean or how hard you try.
355
00:27:45,415 --> 00:27:49,460
It don't work, and that's no man's fault.
356
00:27:50,336 --> 00:27:52,463
Well, it can't get
much worse than this, huh?
357
00:28:06,185 --> 00:28:09,856
We gotta be
the unluckiest family in all of Texas.
358
00:28:10,606 --> 00:28:12,233
Probably Oklahoma too.
359
00:28:30,001 --> 00:28:32,003
Well, look at this.
360
00:28:33,421 --> 00:28:37,925
Only the master painter
could paint a picture such as this.
361
00:28:50,396 --> 00:28:52,023
Let's get in the car.
362
00:28:55,735 --> 00:28:56,986
Come on, Rickey.
363
00:29:15,588 --> 00:29:17,840
Y'all need a ride?
364
00:29:18,716 --> 00:29:19,717
Yes!
365
00:29:19,801 --> 00:29:21,511
Well, come on.
366
00:29:54,919 --> 00:29:56,921
I've never seen one in color.
367
00:29:57,004 --> 00:29:58,965
Back up, you'll go blind.
368
00:30:04,095 --> 00:30:05,888
Fine ice cream, Miss Flora.
369
00:30:05,972 --> 00:30:07,932
Pleased you're enjoying it, sir.
370
00:30:08,015 --> 00:30:09,434
Sir?
371
00:30:09,517 --> 00:30:13,855
If she knew you, if you knew Rickey,
you wouldn't call him sir.
372
00:30:13,938 --> 00:30:16,691
Oh, I expect I know him.
373
00:30:17,275 --> 00:30:18,443
If you say so.
374
00:30:21,070 --> 00:30:23,865
Mrs. Linda,
you sure have a beautiful home.
375
00:30:23,948 --> 00:30:26,200
It's brought us a lot of joy.
376
00:30:26,284 --> 00:30:28,494
I need to get you more to eat.
377
00:30:29,370 --> 00:30:30,371
No, no.
378
00:30:31,164 --> 00:30:34,042
If I had another bite,
I think I'd bust a gut.
379
00:30:34,125 --> 00:30:35,126
Thank you.
380
00:30:35,793 --> 00:30:37,879
Don't know
how we'll ever thank you for your help.
381
00:30:37,962 --> 00:30:39,047
We sure needed it.
382
00:30:40,423 --> 00:30:42,633
Well, now, there might be a way.
383
00:30:42,717 --> 00:30:44,510
But this... I don't know. This job,
384
00:30:44,594 --> 00:30:48,598
it's just probably beneath a man
of your education and experience.
385
00:30:48,681 --> 00:30:50,933
Oh, no, no. No, you'd be surprised.
386
00:30:51,017 --> 00:30:53,603
My brother Dennis
over at Bowie City way
387
00:30:53,686 --> 00:30:59,067
tells me First Baptist been looking
for a new pastor going on a year now.
388
00:30:59,150 --> 00:31:01,235
But no takers.
389
00:31:01,319 --> 00:31:02,904
Well, that's a crying shame.
390
00:31:02,987 --> 00:31:04,822
Well, you ain't seen Bowie City.
391
00:31:04,906 --> 00:31:06,574
One-horse town is overselling it.
392
00:31:06,657 --> 00:31:09,077
It ain't got a window to throw it out of.
393
00:31:09,869 --> 00:31:11,704
But they're good people.
394
00:31:11,788 --> 00:31:12,955
There's a rectory.
395
00:31:14,207 --> 00:31:15,041
A mite modest.
396
00:31:15,124 --> 00:31:17,001
I suppose it ain't for you, but--
397
00:31:17,085 --> 00:31:19,128
-We'll take it.
-Yes, we will.
398
00:31:19,712 --> 00:31:21,339
Brother Josh,
399
00:31:21,422 --> 00:31:25,301
it was not by accident
that you found us on the road.
400
00:31:25,385 --> 00:31:29,305
When the good Lord shuts a door,
He opens a window.
401
00:31:29,389 --> 00:31:31,516
But don't y'all wanna hear
more about this--?
402
00:31:31,599 --> 00:31:33,226
Only "amen."
403
00:31:33,309 --> 00:31:35,645
-Can I get an amen?
-Amen.
404
00:31:38,064 --> 00:31:41,567
Roger, and liftoff,
and the clock is operating.
405
00:31:41,651 --> 00:31:43,903
-Sigma 7...
-Liftoff!
406
00:31:46,948 --> 00:31:49,742
Those kids, they get really excited.
407
00:31:58,167 --> 00:31:59,836
-There!
-Where?
408
00:32:00,336 --> 00:32:01,337
There!
409
00:32:03,673 --> 00:32:07,135
Mission Control reports that the craft
has left Earth's atmosphere,
410
00:32:07,218 --> 00:32:09,679
as we get closer and closer.
411
00:32:09,762 --> 00:32:12,765
As man again sails the heavens.
412
00:32:15,977 --> 00:32:16,811
I see it.
413
00:32:17,770 --> 00:32:18,813
Big as day.
414
00:32:23,735 --> 00:32:24,819
Let's head inside.
415
00:32:29,657 --> 00:32:30,742
You coming, Daddy?
416
00:32:32,744 --> 00:32:34,162
Well, you go ahead, son.
417
00:32:35,455 --> 00:32:37,957
I'm gonna visit a spell
with the Heaven I know.
418
00:33:00,980 --> 00:33:02,774
Howdy, pastor. How you doing?
419
00:33:03,441 --> 00:33:04,942
Welcome to home, sweet home.
420
00:33:05,026 --> 00:33:06,652
Try "dump, sweet dump."
421
00:33:07,528 --> 00:33:08,738
James Hill.
422
00:33:09,405 --> 00:33:11,491
Nice to meet you.
Brother's told me all about you.
423
00:33:11,574 --> 00:33:13,242
Yeah, your brother was real nice to us.
424
00:33:13,326 --> 00:33:14,577
-Dennis, right?
-That's right.
425
00:33:15,536 --> 00:33:17,372
Appealing to the eye, she ain't,
426
00:33:17,455 --> 00:33:20,458
but come monsoons,
tornadoes, and flash floods,
427
00:33:20,541 --> 00:33:22,418
she'll leave you high and dry.
428
00:33:22,502 --> 00:33:24,379
I'm already feeling just that.
429
00:33:24,462 --> 00:33:25,296
What's that?
430
00:33:25,838 --> 00:33:27,173
Used to be a mortuary.
431
00:33:27,757 --> 00:33:29,675
Wait till you see the church.
432
00:33:29,759 --> 00:33:31,260
You're gonna love the church.
433
00:33:31,344 --> 00:33:32,553
Where is the church?
434
00:33:33,054 --> 00:33:34,889
The church is just on down the road here.
435
00:33:34,972 --> 00:33:38,935
Y'all wanna go see
the church first or go inside?
436
00:33:41,354 --> 00:33:42,730
We'll see the church first.
437
00:33:42,814 --> 00:33:44,649
-They'll love the church.
-Yeah.
438
00:33:49,821 --> 00:33:51,280
Here she is.
439
00:33:55,868 --> 00:33:57,787
Now y'all see what I was saying?
440
00:33:58,413 --> 00:33:59,414
Plenty of room.
441
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,085
It's got... possibilities.
442
00:34:04,961 --> 00:34:06,129
I love it in here.
443
00:34:08,798 --> 00:34:10,174
I can run in here.
444
00:34:10,258 --> 00:34:11,968
Boy's got a heck of a lot of energy.
445
00:34:15,179 --> 00:34:17,890
Yeah, and a mind to confound Solomon.
446
00:34:21,310 --> 00:34:22,645
When do I start?
447
00:35:02,143 --> 00:35:05,146
Man up, J-bird.
We're just getting started.
448
00:35:15,990 --> 00:35:17,075
You need two more?
449
00:35:17,742 --> 00:35:18,993
Him and who else?
450
00:35:19,077 --> 00:35:22,080
-I'll hit off him.
-With all that crap on your legs?
451
00:35:22,163 --> 00:35:26,042
My dad is a pastor,
and he calls them corrective restraints.
452
00:35:26,125 --> 00:35:28,044
Hey, don't get all Bible camp on me.
453
00:35:28,127 --> 00:35:30,505
I ain't playing with no robot boy.
454
00:35:30,588 --> 00:35:32,507
Put the non-gimp in left.
455
00:35:32,590 --> 00:35:33,883
He don't play, I don't play.
456
00:35:34,884 --> 00:35:37,345
Yeah, like you're
first-round draft material.
457
00:35:37,428 --> 00:35:38,930
Who do I brush back next?
458
00:35:42,809 --> 00:35:43,643
Come on.
459
00:35:44,602 --> 00:35:45,812
Hey, flamethrower.
460
00:35:46,813 --> 00:35:48,564
I hit off you, we both play.
461
00:35:49,357 --> 00:35:50,817
And it's gotta clear the infield.
462
00:35:53,152 --> 00:35:55,655
Nobody's ever pitched to you
with the heat he brings.
463
00:35:56,197 --> 00:35:58,074
Whiff in front of these townies,
464
00:35:58,157 --> 00:36:00,827
and they'll never let you forget it,
much less play.
465
00:36:00,910 --> 00:36:02,245
I ain't gonna whiff.
466
00:36:03,663 --> 00:36:04,747
Hey, Robot Boy.
467
00:36:05,498 --> 00:36:08,668
Where do we bury you,
the cemetery or the junkyard?
468
00:36:12,547 --> 00:36:13,715
Three swings.
469
00:36:13,798 --> 00:36:16,342
Hey, whatever.
You ain't even gonna see the ball.
470
00:36:21,764 --> 00:36:23,683
Y'all best stay in the outfield.
471
00:36:23,766 --> 00:36:25,643
Boy, you got no idea.
472
00:36:25,727 --> 00:36:27,061
It's Rickey Hill.
473
00:36:28,479 --> 00:36:31,065
Rickey Hill, you got a lot of guts.
474
00:36:31,566 --> 00:36:33,151
But not so many smarts.
475
00:36:33,860 --> 00:36:35,945
Guys with legs that work can't hit him.
476
00:36:37,864 --> 00:36:39,115
Don't say I didn't warn you.
477
00:36:39,657 --> 00:36:41,159
You ready, Robot Boy?
478
00:36:44,370 --> 00:36:46,914
-Little late on that one.
-Robot Boy!
479
00:36:46,998 --> 00:36:49,208
Gonna keep whiffing or are you quitting?
480
00:36:49,292 --> 00:36:50,668
Start hitting.
481
00:36:51,961 --> 00:36:53,796
Oh, Robot Boy's gonna start hitting.
482
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,715
All right, jelly legs, come on.
483
00:37:02,388 --> 00:37:04,891
Hey, RB. Quit while you're behind.
484
00:37:04,974 --> 00:37:07,018
-Enough!
-Come on, before you get really hurt.
485
00:37:07,101 --> 00:37:08,102
Three strikes.
486
00:37:08,186 --> 00:37:09,604
So he can kill you?
487
00:37:11,481 --> 00:37:13,107
I stay down here, I'm dead.
488
00:37:21,366 --> 00:37:22,658
Better bring a quicker bat.
489
00:37:31,959 --> 00:37:33,044
What are you doing?
490
00:37:33,669 --> 00:37:34,962
Look at Robot Boy.
491
00:37:35,046 --> 00:37:38,007
Full-body rotation!
492
00:37:54,899 --> 00:37:56,567
Folks gotta do what they gotta do.
493
00:38:00,863 --> 00:38:02,490
How do you know you can do it, Rickey?
494
00:38:05,410 --> 00:38:06,494
I just know it.
495
00:38:09,706 --> 00:38:11,207
All right, fun's over.
496
00:38:11,749 --> 00:38:14,752
Time to say night-night
and bye-bye to Robot Boy.
497
00:38:33,229 --> 00:38:34,063
You done it!
498
00:38:36,399 --> 00:38:37,275
You hit!
499
00:38:38,109 --> 00:38:39,068
That don't count!
500
00:38:39,652 --> 00:38:42,488
Screw you guys.
I ain't playing with no crippled kid.
501
00:38:42,572 --> 00:38:44,657
-You made a deal.
-I ain't made no such thing.
502
00:38:44,741 --> 00:38:46,617
Liar! I seen you nod your head!
503
00:38:46,701 --> 00:38:49,662
Nobody calls me a liar, Robot Boy.
504
00:38:50,288 --> 00:38:51,831
You think you can stomp me?
505
00:38:54,333 --> 00:38:55,710
He already did.
506
00:38:55,793 --> 00:38:56,627
Hey, stop it!
507
00:38:57,170 --> 00:38:59,047
Coach says one more fight and you're done.
508
00:39:03,176 --> 00:39:04,010
Damn you.
509
00:39:05,720 --> 00:39:07,180
You white trash no-counts.
510
00:39:08,765 --> 00:39:10,433
You're not worth it anyway.
511
00:39:12,810 --> 00:39:15,229
Come on, there ain't no game for us here.
512
00:39:15,730 --> 00:39:18,149
-But I hit off of him.
-That's what counts.
513
00:39:19,233 --> 00:39:20,360
Goodbye, Rickey Hill.
514
00:39:24,697 --> 00:39:25,740
Okay.
515
00:39:26,491 --> 00:39:29,160
Anybody else want to say grace?
516
00:39:34,665 --> 00:39:37,877
Is there some kind of revelation
that I'm not aware of?
517
00:39:46,677 --> 00:39:47,720
Oh, my God.
518
00:39:53,059 --> 00:39:54,852
-Any pain?
-Not a lick.
519
00:39:57,939 --> 00:39:58,815
How?
520
00:40:00,108 --> 00:40:03,903
Well, sir, it seems one of my braces...
521
00:40:04,779 --> 00:40:09,283
the left one, I think,
well, it broke first, so I--
522
00:40:09,367 --> 00:40:11,869
So you had to take
the other one off to walk, right?
523
00:40:11,953 --> 00:40:12,829
Yes.
524
00:40:15,498 --> 00:40:16,749
Thank you, Lord.
525
00:40:19,293 --> 00:40:20,670
Well, show me. Just...
526
00:40:27,969 --> 00:40:30,596
Okay, everybody, up.
We're going for ice cream.
527
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,224
-And we're gonna walk.
-James, we can't afford it.
528
00:40:33,307 --> 00:40:36,686
You just keep that ice cream man busy,
and I'm gonna steal us a gallon.
529
00:40:36,769 --> 00:40:38,771
-Oh, no, you won't.
-Oh, yes, I will.
530
00:40:38,855 --> 00:40:41,190
-I'm feeling adventurous.
-He's not gonna steal a thing.
531
00:40:42,108 --> 00:40:46,237
It ain't curing polio, boys.
All it takes to be on my team is:
532
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,657
A, attend practice every day, 4 to 6,
533
00:40:49,741 --> 00:40:53,453
B, be prepared to work your hind ends off,
534
00:40:53,536 --> 00:40:57,707
and C, cut the crap and swing the bat,
'cause I ain't your mama.
535
00:40:57,790 --> 00:41:00,501
Now, if I catch any one of y'all
half-assing out there,
536
00:41:00,585 --> 00:41:03,004
I'll boot your whole ass off my field.
537
00:41:03,087 --> 00:41:05,298
Now, if you ain't turned
one of these in yet,
538
00:41:05,381 --> 00:41:09,385
I need your folks' John Hancock
on one of these permission slips. Come on.
539
00:41:10,094 --> 00:41:13,639
Bring it back to me,
3 p.m. Tuesday, signed.
540
00:41:16,100 --> 00:41:16,934
All right.
541
00:41:20,772 --> 00:41:23,441
Now, son, it may not be your doing,
542
00:41:23,524 --> 00:41:25,276
but you're already half-assing.
543
00:41:25,818 --> 00:41:27,945
Or making sacrifices.
544
00:41:29,655 --> 00:41:30,573
Well spoke.
545
00:41:31,491 --> 00:41:33,117
I'll give you through tryouts.
546
00:41:33,785 --> 00:41:36,704
Hey, but you better bring me some magic.
547
00:41:39,665 --> 00:41:41,876
Think Mom will sign this
without telling Daddy?
548
00:41:43,503 --> 00:41:45,338
Even if she did, he'd find out.
549
00:41:58,017 --> 00:41:59,519
How's my little lion?
550
00:42:02,271 --> 00:42:05,274
What's on your mind?
You got something behind your back.
551
00:42:16,452 --> 00:42:18,162
Why don't you calm your mind?
552
00:42:19,038 --> 00:42:21,624
Let's hear Psalm 23.
553
00:42:22,792 --> 00:42:24,335
"The Lord is my shepherd..."
554
00:42:24,419 --> 00:42:25,586
More conviction.
555
00:42:26,963 --> 00:42:28,840
"...I shall not want."
556
00:42:29,716 --> 00:42:32,552
Daddy, I know what you're gonna say,
557
00:42:33,177 --> 00:42:34,512
but I'm better.
558
00:42:36,681 --> 00:42:39,517
Son, you might be better,
559
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:41,227
but you are not healed.
560
00:42:42,895 --> 00:42:44,021
Your bones...
561
00:42:45,690 --> 00:42:46,816
they're green.
562
00:42:48,443 --> 00:42:49,610
They're like twigs.
563
00:42:50,153 --> 00:42:51,029
Daddy...
564
00:42:52,238 --> 00:42:53,740
all I wanna do is play.
565
00:42:53,823 --> 00:42:56,701
You will not play.
566
00:42:58,494 --> 00:42:59,328
Ever.
567
00:43:00,455 --> 00:43:04,542
Now, you might think that
your affliction is an injustice,
568
00:43:05,084 --> 00:43:07,211
but God has a plan for you.
569
00:43:07,879 --> 00:43:08,921
It's a sign.
570
00:43:09,589 --> 00:43:14,135
It's a sign of something greater
that you are supposed to become.
571
00:43:21,100 --> 00:43:22,393
What is important?
572
00:43:23,686 --> 00:43:25,646
Many things are important.
573
00:43:26,606 --> 00:43:28,483
But what is vital?
574
00:43:30,610 --> 00:43:31,778
One practice.
575
00:43:32,737 --> 00:43:34,697
Doing God's work.
576
00:43:35,490 --> 00:43:37,283
I want you to seek out
577
00:43:37,367 --> 00:43:41,496
every opportunity
that you have to serve Him.
578
00:43:41,579 --> 00:43:45,416
And the next time
that you even consider sinning,
579
00:43:45,500 --> 00:43:48,002
I want you to ask yourself this question:
580
00:43:49,337 --> 00:43:52,173
"How will God judge me?"
581
00:43:53,549 --> 00:43:58,679
The Holy Spirit sees all, knows all,
582
00:43:59,305 --> 00:44:01,891
punishes every misdeed.
583
00:44:08,022 --> 00:44:10,817
So let us ask God...
584
00:44:11,943 --> 00:44:14,821
for a sin-free week.
585
00:44:22,286 --> 00:44:24,664
This place is worse than the last.
586
00:44:24,747 --> 00:44:26,499
See that man smoking?
587
00:44:27,166 --> 00:44:29,168
Why didn't Daddy put a stop to that?
588
00:44:29,252 --> 00:44:32,463
To grow his flock,
your father must endure a few black sheep.
589
00:44:32,547 --> 00:44:33,423
Have a great day.
590
00:44:34,590 --> 00:44:35,800
This came for you.
591
00:44:38,761 --> 00:44:41,806
-Must be from Gracie.
-No way.
592
00:44:41,889 --> 00:44:44,976
Yeah, he pocketed it so quick,
I thought his hand was on fire.
593
00:44:45,059 --> 00:44:47,019
Nah. Just his heart.
594
00:44:53,776 --> 00:44:56,696
I'm gonna go... stretch my legs.
595
00:44:56,779 --> 00:44:59,574
If Daddy finds out you've been
swatting baseballs on the Sabbath...
596
00:44:59,657 --> 00:45:00,992
I'm just gonna watch.
597
00:45:01,951 --> 00:45:02,785
You?
598
00:45:05,038 --> 00:45:05,872
Come on.
599
00:45:13,588 --> 00:45:17,008
One Blast-Off Burger,
one order of fries, and one Coke.
600
00:45:17,091 --> 00:45:19,761
Costs 75 cents, and that's what I got.
601
00:45:23,639 --> 00:45:27,560
One Blast-Off Burger,
one order of fries, and one Coke?
602
00:45:27,643 --> 00:45:30,396
That ain't nearly enough
to feed all three of you kids.
603
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:31,856
We just need the one order.
604
00:45:31,939 --> 00:45:35,651
I tried to tell him,
but he just came in here like a crazy man.
605
00:45:36,235 --> 00:45:39,113
Well, he counted too quick.
606
00:45:39,614 --> 00:45:41,574
We're just a quarter short, actually.
607
00:45:42,825 --> 00:45:45,787
Well, I ain't so hot at numbers.
608
00:45:45,870 --> 00:45:48,581
-I'll come back when I get the rest.
-Wait.
609
00:45:49,207 --> 00:45:51,918
It just so happens I have a quarter.
610
00:45:53,002 --> 00:45:55,463
-Okay, I've got them closed.
-Keep them closed.
611
00:45:55,546 --> 00:45:58,383
I will, I will.
I've never been more in the dark.
612
00:45:59,133 --> 00:46:00,635
Here, bring him this way.
613
00:46:03,471 --> 00:46:05,723
Well, I guess I'm going to sit down,
is that right?
614
00:46:10,561 --> 00:46:12,772
We all know turkey's your favorite...
615
00:46:13,689 --> 00:46:16,317
but we wanted to get
something special instead.
616
00:46:16,401 --> 00:46:18,778
-Can I open my eyes?
-Yep.
617
00:46:22,990 --> 00:46:26,202
Why, it's my second favorite.
618
00:46:27,453 --> 00:46:29,330
And a more thoughtful gift, I...
619
00:46:31,624 --> 00:46:32,667
I can't remember.
620
00:46:33,209 --> 00:46:35,712
You take care of us all year...
621
00:46:37,547 --> 00:46:39,257
so today, we wanted to take care of you.
622
00:46:40,049 --> 00:46:43,302
The most beautiful gift
I have ever been blessed with...
623
00:46:44,679 --> 00:46:46,806
is not this delicious burger.
624
00:46:49,016 --> 00:46:53,146
It's the joy of sharing it
with all of you.
625
00:46:54,272 --> 00:46:55,898
You're my beautiful family.
626
00:46:57,275 --> 00:46:58,234
We ain't hungry.
627
00:46:59,235 --> 00:47:01,320
-Stuffed.
-Slimming.
628
00:47:03,114 --> 00:47:04,490
All us girls are.
629
00:47:07,702 --> 00:47:08,953
Well, I'm starving.
630
00:47:22,175 --> 00:47:24,677
Me and my mama
are heading to Oklahoma City
631
00:47:24,761 --> 00:47:26,471
to live with my grandfolks.
632
00:47:26,554 --> 00:47:29,098
Hey, has anyone
in your new town figured out
633
00:47:29,182 --> 00:47:30,767
how you're cheating at batting yet?
634
00:47:32,393 --> 00:47:36,105
Truly, I hope you're still swinging,
no matter how your legs are.
635
00:47:36,189 --> 00:47:40,818
Knowing you, I bet you a Buffalo nickel
you're still dreaming of the majors.
636
00:47:40,902 --> 00:47:43,363
Me, I've run clean out of dreams.
637
00:47:43,446 --> 00:47:47,408
I guess it's up to you
to make one come true for both of us.
638
00:47:47,492 --> 00:47:49,660
If anyone can, it's you.
639
00:47:49,744 --> 00:47:52,330
P.S., you're still my boyfriend.
640
00:48:01,047 --> 00:48:02,757
Since when ain't you trying out?
641
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:04,759
Since my daddy refused to sign.
642
00:48:06,344 --> 00:48:07,387
Check out Coach Don.
643
00:48:07,470 --> 00:48:10,014
He look like he's up all night
verifying signatures?
644
00:48:11,057 --> 00:48:13,851
Hold up. You're saying...?
645
00:48:13,935 --> 00:48:16,479
-Fake Daddy's signature?
-Yep.
646
00:48:16,562 --> 00:48:19,273
Seems like the real sin
is stopping you from playing.
647
00:48:19,357 --> 00:48:20,566
Jason's right.
648
00:48:22,026 --> 00:48:26,447
Plus, I don't know a soul
who's owed this shot more than you.
649
00:48:29,325 --> 00:48:30,159
Give it to me.
650
00:48:33,788 --> 00:48:35,540
Hope the good Lord sees it that way.
651
00:48:46,718 --> 00:48:47,593
Evening, ma'am.
652
00:48:48,094 --> 00:48:50,388
Don Fisher, youth baseball coach.
653
00:48:51,931 --> 00:48:54,600
I'm sorry,
our boys aren't allowed to play.
654
00:48:56,352 --> 00:48:59,021
Better iron that out
with your husband, ma'am.
655
00:48:59,105 --> 00:49:01,733
-He signed Rickey's permission slip.
-Come in.
656
00:49:05,153 --> 00:49:09,240
Who, by the way, is knocking the tar
out of anything we throw at him.
657
00:49:09,741 --> 00:49:12,410
What is this? I didn't sign nothing.
658
00:49:17,290 --> 00:49:19,834
That's not my handwriting.
That's a forgery.
659
00:49:20,543 --> 00:49:23,004
Well, you know boys.
660
00:49:23,963 --> 00:49:27,175
Anyhoo, he is one heck of a hitter.
661
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:31,804
The only way I can figure
how your boy can possibly hit the ball
662
00:49:31,888 --> 00:49:34,974
as far and as hard as he can...
663
00:49:35,933 --> 00:49:37,810
the Lord give him a gift.
664
00:49:38,311 --> 00:49:40,021
Well, he's not gonna be playing.
665
00:49:40,646 --> 00:49:43,232
-You ain't gonna let him play?
-Nope.
666
00:49:43,316 --> 00:49:46,444
Look, I pastored 13 years
up in the Panhandle...
667
00:49:47,236 --> 00:49:50,198
and I know good and well
what a miracle looks like.
668
00:49:51,240 --> 00:49:52,575
And Rickey is one.
669
00:49:54,243 --> 00:49:55,995
So my counsel to you, pastor...
670
00:49:56,788 --> 00:50:00,875
is figure out why you're so hell-bent
on crushing the boy's soul
671
00:50:00,958 --> 00:50:02,668
and squandering his blessing.
672
00:50:03,669 --> 00:50:05,546
God bless you. Amen, and good night.
673
00:50:16,265 --> 00:50:17,100
Rickey?
674
00:50:18,267 --> 00:50:19,102
Rickey.
675
00:50:27,402 --> 00:50:28,277
I done it.
676
00:50:28,903 --> 00:50:30,154
He's covering for me.
677
00:50:31,656 --> 00:50:33,449
I said for him to play...
678
00:50:35,535 --> 00:50:36,577
and doctored the slip.
679
00:50:37,537 --> 00:50:39,747
He was trying to help me
do the one thing I love.
680
00:50:39,831 --> 00:50:41,249
The one thing you love?
681
00:50:42,875 --> 00:50:44,043
That's the truth.
682
00:50:44,752 --> 00:50:47,088
It ain't about me
swinging a stick to hit a stone.
683
00:50:48,256 --> 00:50:51,384
When I swing that bat,
I ain't crippled no more.
684
00:50:51,467 --> 00:50:53,469
I am David taking down Goliath.
685
00:50:54,595 --> 00:50:56,973
Everybody can see
how much this means to me but you.
686
00:50:57,056 --> 00:50:58,891
Don't you backtalk me, boy.
687
00:50:58,975 --> 00:51:01,144
Don't you dare run that child down!
688
00:51:01,227 --> 00:51:03,187
Give him his say. He's earned it.
689
00:51:03,271 --> 00:51:06,023
You stay out of this.
This ain't none of your business.
690
00:51:06,107 --> 00:51:10,445
My business is the family
that you've turned into sheep.
691
00:51:10,528 --> 00:51:12,530
Helen and the kids, they love you so much,
692
00:51:12,613 --> 00:51:16,576
they'd let you just suck
all the joy out of their lives.
693
00:51:16,659 --> 00:51:19,203
And I'm too old and mean
to stand by another minute
694
00:51:19,287 --> 00:51:21,497
while you make your misery theirs.
695
00:51:22,165 --> 00:51:26,252
"To seek out the one true calling
God has placed us on Earth to answer
696
00:51:26,878 --> 00:51:28,463
is no less than our duty.
697
00:51:28,546 --> 00:51:31,841
To fulfill it with pure devotion,
no less than our divine destiny."
698
00:51:32,633 --> 00:51:33,801
Yeah, see right there?
699
00:51:33,885 --> 00:51:37,597
Even a blind man could tell
you're born to be a preacher.
700
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:40,224
You said those words. That's your sermon.
701
00:51:40,850 --> 00:51:42,268
Are those words the truth?
702
00:51:46,105 --> 00:51:48,900
Think baseball is your duty?
703
00:51:48,983 --> 00:51:50,860
Ever since I can remember.
704
00:51:50,943 --> 00:51:52,820
So much you'd lie about it?
705
00:51:53,654 --> 00:51:54,572
See that?
706
00:51:55,907 --> 00:51:56,949
That's a lie.
707
00:51:58,368 --> 00:52:00,036
Now, I'm gonna give you a choice.
708
00:52:02,455 --> 00:52:03,414
God's will...
709
00:52:05,124 --> 00:52:06,125
or your will.
710
00:52:15,176 --> 00:52:16,010
Robert...
711
00:52:16,886 --> 00:52:17,929
you lied.
712
00:52:18,971 --> 00:52:20,223
You deceived.
713
00:52:21,140 --> 00:52:22,642
You misguided your brother.
714
00:52:22,725 --> 00:52:24,477
Now, we got rules in this house.
715
00:52:26,145 --> 00:52:28,439
And you know
there's consequences to those rules.
716
00:52:28,523 --> 00:52:29,482
Yes, sir.
717
00:52:30,775 --> 00:52:31,734
Get out back.
718
00:52:33,111 --> 00:52:34,195
And I mean now.
719
00:52:35,571 --> 00:52:37,115
Daddy, it should be me!
720
00:52:41,411 --> 00:52:42,245
Robert...
721
00:52:46,708 --> 00:52:47,834
you deceived me.
722
00:52:48,668 --> 00:52:50,461
I can't tell you how that hurts.
723
00:52:52,296 --> 00:52:53,715
Now, you know I love you.
724
00:52:54,590 --> 00:52:56,759
This is about saving your soul.
725
00:52:57,260 --> 00:52:58,720
You ain't gonna save me.
726
00:53:01,013 --> 00:53:02,348
You can beat me all night...
727
00:53:05,309 --> 00:53:07,019
it ain't gonna change Rickey.
728
00:53:08,563 --> 00:53:10,189
Rickey's confused.
729
00:53:11,190 --> 00:53:12,442
He's lost.
730
00:53:13,067 --> 00:53:14,819
He ain't the one who's lost.
731
00:53:16,154 --> 00:53:17,196
What's he doing?
732
00:53:23,453 --> 00:53:24,412
Growing up.
733
00:53:25,955 --> 00:53:27,123
You turn around.
734
00:53:52,732 --> 00:53:53,649
Go inside.
735
00:53:56,277 --> 00:53:58,154
-I said, go inside.
-Daddy?
736
00:53:58,237 --> 00:53:59,906
Just leave me be. Go inside.
737
00:54:34,482 --> 00:54:35,483
It ain't fair.
738
00:54:36,275 --> 00:54:39,112
I can't go this entire summer
without playing baseball.
739
00:54:39,862 --> 00:54:43,991
Well, till you can find a way
to preach and play at the same time...
740
00:54:45,702 --> 00:54:46,619
you're benched.
741
00:54:57,588 --> 00:54:58,423
Son...
742
00:55:00,091 --> 00:55:01,926
you know you're not
supposed to interrupt me
743
00:55:02,009 --> 00:55:03,386
when I'm writing my sermon.
744
00:55:05,430 --> 00:55:06,264
Yes, sir.
745
00:55:08,141 --> 00:55:12,645
I came here to ask you what to do
when I need to tell you something.
746
00:55:15,064 --> 00:55:16,315
Now.
747
00:55:21,654 --> 00:55:22,488
All right.
748
00:55:24,115 --> 00:55:25,324
Say your piece.
749
00:55:30,246 --> 00:55:33,124
Last night, you gave me a choice...
750
00:55:34,042 --> 00:55:36,753
and I've been thinking real hard on it.
751
00:55:38,337 --> 00:55:41,090
You're right. God is number one.
752
00:55:41,758 --> 00:55:44,052
He has, is, and always will be.
753
00:55:44,594 --> 00:55:46,929
And like you've preached so many times...
754
00:55:47,847 --> 00:55:49,432
God don't make mistakes.
755
00:55:49,515 --> 00:55:50,516
Amen.
756
00:55:53,269 --> 00:55:57,148
I feel His perfection guiding me
when I swing that bat.
757
00:55:58,483 --> 00:56:00,568
I bear witness to His power...
758
00:56:01,444 --> 00:56:03,654
when the ball sails
over the backfield fence.
759
00:56:03,738 --> 00:56:08,451
-I'm not following your logic. What...?
-'Cause I ain't done.
760
00:56:11,287 --> 00:56:12,455
I choose both.
761
00:56:12,997 --> 00:56:15,166
You choose God...
762
00:56:16,167 --> 00:56:17,377
and baseball?
763
00:56:18,044 --> 00:56:19,295
Only answer.
764
00:56:21,339 --> 00:56:24,258
In His perfection, He handed me two gifts:
765
00:56:25,051 --> 00:56:28,513
Preaching with fire,
and playing by the power of His hand.
766
00:56:30,098 --> 00:56:31,974
Each blessing to His glory.
767
00:56:34,268 --> 00:56:38,106
I can do all things through Christ
who strengthens me.
768
00:56:38,773 --> 00:56:41,442
Philippians 4:13.
769
00:56:52,870 --> 00:56:53,871
What is that?
770
00:57:15,727 --> 00:57:17,812
Thank you for all you taught me, Daddy.
771
00:57:45,965 --> 00:57:50,344
Now batting for the Buffaloes,
center fielder, number 17,
772
00:57:50,428 --> 00:57:51,721
Rickey Hill!
773
00:57:51,804 --> 00:57:53,431
-Rickey!
-Rickey!
774
00:58:06,277 --> 00:58:08,071
And gone!
775
00:58:10,823 --> 00:58:14,410
Ladies and gentlemen,
the 1973 season opener ends
776
00:58:14,494 --> 00:58:16,704
with another game-winning home run
777
00:58:16,788 --> 00:58:20,416
from Buffaloes
senior sensation Rickey Hill!
778
00:58:20,500 --> 00:58:23,419
-That's our brother!
-Oh, man, you're flying!
779
00:58:24,170 --> 00:58:26,130
-There you go, Rickey!
-Rickey!
780
00:58:26,214 --> 00:58:27,048
Come on.
781
00:58:30,510 --> 00:58:32,970
You set him up so good.
782
00:58:33,054 --> 00:58:35,139
Laid off the slider the whole game.
783
00:58:35,223 --> 00:58:37,183
I almost got caught
with my foot in the bucket.
784
00:58:39,060 --> 00:58:40,103
Oh, man.
785
00:58:40,686 --> 00:58:42,188
All right, I'm gonna get.
786
00:58:43,398 --> 00:58:45,358
-See you Monday after practice.
-Yeah.
787
00:58:45,441 --> 00:58:47,527
All right. We got some work to do
on that old car.
788
00:58:47,610 --> 00:58:49,487
-I'll be there.
-Well, have fun tonight.
789
00:58:49,570 --> 00:58:51,072
-All right. Night.
-Good to see you.
790
00:58:51,155 --> 00:58:54,534
4-for-4, again.
Officially batting above 400.
791
00:58:54,617 --> 00:58:56,077
Sure he ain't cheating?
792
00:58:57,870 --> 00:59:00,081
Girls don't know spit about baseball.
793
00:59:00,957 --> 00:59:02,208
Nah, I see it.
794
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:04,961
Finally got full-body rotation.
795
00:59:05,503 --> 00:59:06,546
Found your power.
796
00:59:07,547 --> 00:59:08,589
Well...
797
00:59:09,799 --> 00:59:10,758
did you miss me?
798
00:59:11,342 --> 00:59:13,344
Now, I only want the truth.
799
00:59:16,806 --> 00:59:18,099
Gracie?
800
00:59:20,143 --> 00:59:23,896
-Last I heard, you--
-Well, I came back, to see an old friend.
801
00:59:25,690 --> 00:59:26,524
Me?
802
00:59:27,191 --> 00:59:29,027
Still know how to charm a girl.
803
00:59:29,694 --> 00:59:31,070
I been tracking your career.
804
00:59:31,988 --> 00:59:34,282
We've gotta go fix something.
805
00:59:34,991 --> 00:59:35,950
Fix something.
806
00:59:37,869 --> 00:59:40,246
Yeah, we-- Okay, we can go.
807
00:59:40,329 --> 00:59:42,123
You sure showed me.
808
00:59:44,167 --> 00:59:46,711
-I talk big.
-You believe big.
809
00:59:47,545 --> 00:59:50,465
Me? I couldn't see past
getting out of that house.
810
00:59:52,508 --> 00:59:54,719
How long you gonna be in town?
811
00:59:56,054 --> 00:59:56,888
I don't know.
812
00:59:57,722 --> 00:59:58,598
A few days.
813
00:59:59,390 --> 01:00:01,059
Baby, is it always this hot?
814
01:00:01,684 --> 01:00:02,727
I need a drink.
815
01:00:02,810 --> 01:00:06,939
-Ned, this is my friend Rickey.
-The Rickey?
816
01:00:07,023 --> 01:00:09,317
The Rickey Hill, the batting phenom?
817
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:12,028
You know what?
I actually owe you a thank-you.
818
01:00:12,111 --> 01:00:13,988
For what exactly?
819
01:00:14,072 --> 01:00:17,241
I backed him. Fifty bucks, running 5-to-1.
820
01:00:17,325 --> 01:00:19,202
You paid out like a Vegas slot, my friend.
821
01:00:19,827 --> 01:00:23,623
Well, when he's not being crude,
Ned's a sports writer, Eastern Chronicle.
822
01:00:23,706 --> 01:00:24,624
I edit him.
823
01:00:25,124 --> 01:00:26,334
Thought you two should meet.
824
01:00:27,335 --> 01:00:30,588
-Your mom invited us to supper.
-Cool.
825
01:00:31,672 --> 01:00:35,218
Well, he just hit four homers
in this one game.
826
01:00:35,301 --> 01:00:37,887
You a good, clean sports writer, are you?
827
01:00:38,930 --> 01:00:41,474
Well, I'd like to think so.
828
01:00:41,557 --> 01:00:43,893
Punchy, not windy,
829
01:00:43,976 --> 01:00:46,813
in the way that
McCormack blowhard goes on.
830
01:00:46,896 --> 01:00:47,814
You know him?
831
01:00:47,897 --> 01:00:50,274
I am that McCormack...
832
01:00:50,983 --> 01:00:51,818
blowhard.
833
01:00:53,736 --> 01:00:58,074
Well, then you'll have something more
to chew on than gambling and drinking.
834
01:00:59,367 --> 01:01:02,787
Is that that little seedling
that got planted so long ago?
835
01:01:02,870 --> 01:01:06,499
Gracie, you done bloomed
into a beautiful rose, girl.
836
01:01:06,582 --> 01:01:07,917
Come here and hug my neck.
837
01:01:13,297 --> 01:01:16,926
Are you gonna come celebrate
Sunday services with us tomorrow?
838
01:01:17,009 --> 01:01:19,345
-I'd love to.
-It would make me so happy.
839
01:01:19,429 --> 01:01:21,889
Well, hon, I mean,
slugger's got his game tomorrow.
840
01:01:21,973 --> 01:01:24,058
Ned McCormack, by the way.
841
01:01:24,142 --> 01:01:26,102
So nice to meet you.
Thanks for having us over.
842
01:01:26,185 --> 01:01:27,937
I love everything you've done with the...
843
01:01:28,771 --> 01:01:29,605
everything.
844
01:01:29,689 --> 01:01:32,066
Don't tell me you people
don't play on Sundays.
845
01:01:32,150 --> 01:01:36,571
Well, his father failed
to lead him to a higher path.
846
01:01:37,655 --> 01:01:38,656
Higher path.
847
01:01:39,991 --> 01:01:44,203
I'm sorry, I don't mean any disrespect,
but, I mean, certainly you can see,
848
01:01:44,287 --> 01:01:46,414
whenever he plays, he's a phenom.
849
01:01:48,291 --> 01:01:49,459
I've never seen him play.
850
01:01:51,502 --> 01:01:52,837
You never seen him play?
851
01:01:54,797 --> 01:01:55,882
No.
852
01:01:57,759 --> 01:02:00,928
Well, I'm gonna get washed up.
853
01:02:02,513 --> 01:02:04,724
Be right back. Good to see you, Gracie.
854
01:02:07,685 --> 01:02:08,811
I'll be there.
855
01:02:16,694 --> 01:02:17,779
Great game today.
856
01:02:19,364 --> 01:02:20,198
Did your...
857
01:02:21,324 --> 01:02:22,200
guy leave?
858
01:02:23,743 --> 01:02:24,994
Ned's not my guy.
859
01:02:25,953 --> 01:02:28,373
I realized that at dinner last night
and broke it off.
860
01:02:29,082 --> 01:02:31,209
He took it like a gentleman,
then fired me.
861
01:02:32,752 --> 01:02:35,171
Well, you're smart.
862
01:02:36,964 --> 01:02:38,549
I bet something finds you.
863
01:02:39,175 --> 01:02:42,804
If that optimism comes in bottles,
I'll take a whole case.
864
01:02:45,223 --> 01:02:47,016
You wanna know what a dork I am?
865
01:02:47,100 --> 01:02:48,267
It's not apparent.
866
01:02:48,935 --> 01:02:50,228
Fill me in.
867
01:02:50,311 --> 01:02:54,273
Every stinking letter you wrote
since you were 9,
868
01:02:54,899 --> 01:02:55,817
I kept.
869
01:02:56,609 --> 01:02:59,320
Lord! They fill a whole tub?
870
01:03:01,030 --> 01:03:01,864
No.
871
01:03:03,533 --> 01:03:04,909
We're both dorks, then.
872
01:03:06,202 --> 01:03:07,078
You kept mine?
873
01:03:08,162 --> 01:03:09,288
Both of them.
874
01:03:09,831 --> 01:03:12,375
I'm not much of a writer.
875
01:03:14,293 --> 01:03:15,586
Was that why you stopped?
876
01:03:17,088 --> 01:03:17,922
No.
877
01:03:21,134 --> 01:03:23,970
Your career was taking off,
and I figured you forgot about me.
878
01:03:25,722 --> 01:03:27,014
Not for one day.
879
01:03:33,271 --> 01:03:35,940
Rickey, that's twice now.
What is going on?
880
01:03:36,899 --> 01:03:37,900
I just...
881
01:03:38,735 --> 01:03:40,361
I get sore from hitting.
882
01:03:40,987 --> 01:03:43,114
That ain't sore, that's agony.
883
01:03:43,197 --> 01:03:44,365
How long?
884
01:03:45,324 --> 01:03:46,868
My whole life.
885
01:03:46,951 --> 01:03:48,327
What do your doctors say?
886
01:03:48,911 --> 01:03:49,871
Nothing.
887
01:03:49,954 --> 01:03:53,041
I see a doctor,
they're just gonna tell me to stop.
888
01:03:57,003 --> 01:03:58,337
I'm sick of it.
889
01:03:58,421 --> 01:04:01,716
I'm sick and tired
of all these other high school players
890
01:04:01,799 --> 01:04:04,677
got scouts out watching them, and...
891
01:04:05,470 --> 01:04:08,389
And here you are,
the hardest damn hitter I ever seen,
892
01:04:08,931 --> 01:04:11,768
and nothing, and the clock is ticking.
893
01:04:11,851 --> 01:04:14,854
In four months,
you're graduating high school,
894
01:04:14,937 --> 01:04:17,940
and right now is when all the scouts
are snatching up all the good ones,
895
01:04:18,024 --> 01:04:20,902
and, son, you're better than good.
896
01:04:20,985 --> 01:04:22,945
Do you wanna play in the majors?
897
01:04:23,029 --> 01:04:24,364
That's all I want.
898
01:04:26,074 --> 01:04:28,034
-But, Ray...
-But jack squat.
899
01:04:31,204 --> 01:04:33,373
After all the hell you been through,
900
01:04:33,456 --> 01:04:35,792
I'm not about to let you lose hope now.
901
01:04:36,584 --> 01:04:38,252
We're going straight to the top.
902
01:04:38,336 --> 01:04:40,463
I'm not talking about just anybody.
903
01:04:41,297 --> 01:04:44,133
I'm calling Mike Toliver.
904
01:04:44,217 --> 01:04:45,468
Who's Mike Toliver?
905
01:04:45,551 --> 01:04:48,388
Mike Toliver's one of the best scouts
in the business.
906
01:04:48,471 --> 01:04:51,224
And I'm gonna get him to come
to one of your high school games.
907
01:04:56,521 --> 01:04:59,357
-Hey. Good to see you.
-Hey, how you doing?
908
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:01,067
Who's he talking to?
909
01:05:01,150 --> 01:05:02,652
It's one of them scouts.
910
01:05:03,361 --> 01:05:04,195
Really?
911
01:05:04,278 --> 01:05:05,613
-That wasn't bad at all.
-Good.
912
01:05:05,697 --> 01:05:07,865
Gonna be worth it.
Looking forward to seeing Rickey.
913
01:05:07,949 --> 01:05:09,867
He's something else.
Thank you, Mr. Toliver.
914
01:05:11,828 --> 01:05:13,371
Robot Boy.
915
01:05:13,454 --> 01:05:15,832
Looks like we're gonna
finally finish what we started.
916
01:05:15,915 --> 01:05:17,333
Don't worry, I'll make it quick.
917
01:05:17,917 --> 01:05:20,211
Wouldn't wanna see you suffer
in front of these folks.
918
01:05:20,294 --> 01:05:23,297
There they are, folks,
the Bowie City Buffaloes.
919
01:05:23,381 --> 01:05:26,342
This should be
some regional matchup tonight,
920
01:05:26,426 --> 01:05:30,221
as Bowie faces county rivals,
the Wildcats.
921
01:05:33,474 --> 01:05:34,392
I got it!
922
01:05:43,985 --> 01:05:47,030
Scouting report said
that kid's bat speed's off the chart.
923
01:05:47,113 --> 01:05:49,032
Didn't say nothing about that arm.
924
01:05:54,829 --> 01:05:56,456
Strike three! Batter's out!
925
01:05:56,539 --> 01:05:59,417
Now batting cleanup for the Buffaloes...
926
01:05:59,500 --> 01:06:00,877
You reckon they'll pitch to him?
927
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:02,336
...one-man hitting machine...
928
01:06:02,420 --> 01:06:06,382
It's on the line, tying run on second.
Would you?
929
01:06:06,466 --> 01:06:07,884
...Rickey Hill!
930
01:06:08,509 --> 01:06:10,762
Nowhere to hide now, Robot Boy.
931
01:06:21,230 --> 01:06:22,899
I'm not walking him again.
932
01:06:24,817 --> 01:06:28,613
Ends right here tonight.
933
01:06:44,420 --> 01:06:45,296
Strike!
934
01:06:50,802 --> 01:06:52,011
Come on, Rickey!
935
01:07:16,994 --> 01:07:17,912
Rickey!
936
01:07:17,995 --> 01:07:18,955
Come on!
937
01:07:25,753 --> 01:07:26,754
That looked so good.
938
01:07:33,344 --> 01:07:35,805
The faster it comes in,
the faster it goes out.
939
01:07:49,318 --> 01:07:50,653
I got it!
940
01:08:03,791 --> 01:08:05,126
Rickey?
941
01:08:06,210 --> 01:08:07,211
Don't move.
942
01:08:07,670 --> 01:08:08,629
I can finish.
943
01:08:12,467 --> 01:08:14,010
Stepped on something.
944
01:08:17,889 --> 01:08:18,931
Sprinkler head.
945
01:08:27,982 --> 01:08:29,484
Fracture's bad...
946
01:08:30,443 --> 01:08:32,612
but the least of my worries.
947
01:08:32,695 --> 01:08:34,155
These ligament bands,
948
01:08:34,238 --> 01:08:37,950
they hold the joint together,
but, Rickey...
949
01:08:39,869 --> 01:08:41,411
they're torn to bits.
950
01:08:41,496 --> 01:08:44,290
They can't connect your ankle
to your calf bone.
951
01:08:44,999 --> 01:08:47,210
And these two perineal tendons,
952
01:08:47,835 --> 01:08:50,670
they're not torn,
they're completely severed.
953
01:08:51,422 --> 01:08:53,965
All right, well,
how long before I can play?
954
01:08:54,050 --> 01:08:55,093
Son...
955
01:08:55,927 --> 01:08:57,804
it'll be a miracle
if you ever walk again.
956
01:08:59,679 --> 01:09:01,766
I'd like to attempt to save the ankle.
957
01:09:01,849 --> 01:09:02,892
Attempt?
958
01:09:03,518 --> 01:09:06,396
Pastor, only guarantee I can offer,
959
01:09:06,478 --> 01:09:10,483
multiple surgeries broken up
with long, excruciating recoveries.
960
01:09:13,695 --> 01:09:14,737
How much?
961
01:09:15,862 --> 01:09:17,949
Seven thousand, probably more.
962
01:09:18,032 --> 01:09:20,076
And then there's the other condition.
963
01:09:20,910 --> 01:09:21,994
Other condition?
964
01:09:22,661 --> 01:09:25,581
Advanced degenerative spinal disease.
965
01:09:26,416 --> 01:09:30,001
Rickey, your bones
are rapidly depleting protein,
966
01:09:30,545 --> 01:09:33,505
causing your spine to age prematurely.
967
01:09:34,465 --> 01:09:35,758
How prematurely?
968
01:09:36,759 --> 01:09:40,138
Your son has the spine
of a 60-year-old man,
969
01:09:40,220 --> 01:09:42,598
and there's nothing I can do
to reverse that.
970
01:10:00,992 --> 01:10:02,452
Let me get that for you.
971
01:10:11,044 --> 01:10:13,379
My heart breaks for you, Rickey.
972
01:10:14,547 --> 01:10:16,799
Even as my faith sustains me.
973
01:10:18,509 --> 01:10:21,095
Next you're gonna tell me
it was God's will.
974
01:10:22,055 --> 01:10:24,932
Shred my ankle, twist up my spine.
975
01:10:25,016 --> 01:10:25,933
Why, Dad?
976
01:10:26,017 --> 01:10:29,187
What, He wants me to suffer my whole life,
same as it started?
977
01:10:29,812 --> 01:10:32,315
-A pitiful cripple?
-Don't you talk about yourself that way.
978
01:10:32,398 --> 01:10:34,108
I won't hear it, you hear me?
979
01:10:34,192 --> 01:10:36,319
You're being tested, son.
980
01:10:36,402 --> 01:10:39,155
You're being tested, sorely tested,
981
01:10:39,238 --> 01:10:45,203
and you got to hang on to your faith,
because that's all we got in this world.
982
01:10:45,745 --> 01:10:49,207
Now, baseball, it had to end eventually.
983
01:10:50,041 --> 01:10:52,835
And if I'm gonna get bad news,
I'd rather get it sooner than later,
984
01:10:52,919 --> 01:10:56,881
so having it taken away from you
while you're still young...
985
01:10:57,632 --> 01:10:59,300
now, maybe that's a good thing.
986
01:10:59,884 --> 01:11:00,885
It--
987
01:11:00,968 --> 01:11:04,013
It gives you time
988
01:11:04,097 --> 01:11:07,266
to figure out what you're gonna do
with the rest of your life.
989
01:11:09,685 --> 01:11:13,064
First time you ever talked to me
like a real old man...
990
01:11:15,274 --> 01:11:17,985
is to say "forget the only thing
you ever cared for"?
991
01:11:19,487 --> 01:11:20,446
No.
992
01:11:22,740 --> 01:11:25,785
No, that's not what I'm saying, Rickey.
993
01:11:28,621 --> 01:11:29,664
When you were 10,
994
01:11:29,747 --> 01:11:32,875
you said you were going to the majors
and you had no idea how.
995
01:11:33,584 --> 01:11:37,004
You did everything you could,
and the rest?
996
01:11:37,672 --> 01:11:39,006
You took on faith.
997
01:11:39,549 --> 01:11:41,426
Yeah, and look where it got me.
998
01:11:42,427 --> 01:11:44,053
Same crap, different day.
999
01:11:45,763 --> 01:11:47,515
Rickey, we're gonna raise that money.
1000
01:11:47,598 --> 01:11:49,016
All 7000 of it.
1001
01:11:49,559 --> 01:11:51,728
It might as well be 10 million.
1002
01:11:51,811 --> 01:11:55,481
Maybe Ned will kick in, write a story.
1003
01:11:55,565 --> 01:11:58,109
"How I helped a gimp and won the girl."
1004
01:11:59,318 --> 01:12:01,487
Got to admit, it makes sense.
1005
01:12:04,323 --> 01:12:06,868
Boys don't know spit about love.
1006
01:12:10,580 --> 01:12:12,248
Why'd you come back here?
1007
01:12:15,418 --> 01:12:18,254
Something got torn out of me
when I was just a little girl.
1008
01:12:18,337 --> 01:12:20,256
It left a hole in my soul.
1009
01:12:22,091 --> 01:12:25,053
No matter what I tried or who I met...
1010
01:12:27,180 --> 01:12:28,347
it never healed.
1011
01:12:31,768 --> 01:12:35,021
A few months back, I was on my last nerve.
1012
01:12:36,606 --> 01:12:38,816
I truly was lost.
1013
01:12:39,901 --> 01:12:41,110
What saved you?
1014
01:12:42,570 --> 01:12:44,572
I remembered my first boyfriend.
1015
01:12:51,245 --> 01:12:54,665
Wouldn't it be something
if he ended up being your last?
1016
01:12:55,583 --> 01:12:57,293
Now, if that's a proposal,
1017
01:12:57,377 --> 01:12:59,587
you're gonna have to do
a whole lot better than that.
1018
01:12:59,670 --> 01:13:01,547
-That wasn't good?
-No.
1019
01:13:02,590 --> 01:13:05,009
But I'll take it. Go on.
1020
01:14:30,344 --> 01:14:32,221
Hey, how's Operation Rickey Hill going?
1021
01:14:32,305 --> 01:14:34,932
Nine weeks, we're up about $2000.
1022
01:14:35,016 --> 01:14:36,225
Well, I'll tell you what.
1023
01:14:36,309 --> 01:14:38,227
I got a brand-new 50 here
1024
01:14:38,311 --> 01:14:42,190
that says you'll hit the entire jackpot
right on up to tryouts.
1025
01:14:42,940 --> 01:14:45,193
So you just keep swinging, slugger.
1026
01:14:45,276 --> 01:14:46,611
We're all counting on you.
1027
01:14:47,278 --> 01:14:48,404
Thank you, sir.
1028
01:14:52,742 --> 01:14:54,327
We're never gonna make it in time.
1029
01:15:14,597 --> 01:15:15,431
Gram.
1030
01:15:16,432 --> 01:15:18,309
Ladies. Miss Helen.
1031
01:15:18,851 --> 01:15:19,685
Rickey.
1032
01:15:20,228 --> 01:15:21,270
You seen this?
1033
01:15:21,771 --> 01:15:23,314
Top of the sports page.
1034
01:15:24,107 --> 01:15:27,485
"A co-op of four baseball teams
will be holding major league tryouts
1035
01:15:27,568 --> 01:15:29,862
at Rockwood Park Field in Brenham.
1036
01:15:29,946 --> 01:15:33,366
The scouting staffs
will evaluate qualified players
1037
01:15:33,449 --> 01:15:35,034
over a two-day period."
1038
01:15:36,244 --> 01:15:37,954
That's two months away.
1039
01:15:38,037 --> 01:15:41,040
It'll be tough, but you can recover.
1040
01:15:41,124 --> 01:15:42,500
Recover from what?
1041
01:15:43,042 --> 01:15:44,168
Surgery.
1042
01:15:44,252 --> 01:15:45,962
Sooner we get you in there, we can get--
1043
01:15:46,045 --> 01:15:48,423
Ray, Ray, we tried.
1044
01:15:49,757 --> 01:15:52,176
It's over. We didn't raise the money.
1045
01:15:52,969 --> 01:15:54,512
Money, money, money.
1046
01:15:55,346 --> 01:15:56,597
The root of all evil.
1047
01:15:56,681 --> 01:15:58,558
Well, not always.
1048
01:15:59,726 --> 01:16:01,394
What are you doing?
1049
01:16:01,936 --> 01:16:03,312
Seems obvious enough.
1050
01:16:03,396 --> 01:16:04,897
Ray, I can't take it.
1051
01:16:04,981 --> 01:16:06,149
Who's giving it?
1052
01:16:07,191 --> 01:16:08,401
This is a loan...
1053
01:16:09,152 --> 01:16:10,611
against future earnings.
1054
01:16:10,695 --> 01:16:11,696
At the scrapyard?
1055
01:16:11,779 --> 01:16:12,905
The scrapyard?
1056
01:16:12,989 --> 01:16:14,574
On what I pay you?
1057
01:16:15,158 --> 01:16:18,244
Son, you'd die broke at that scrapyard.
1058
01:16:19,245 --> 01:16:21,039
Gracie, how much are y'all short?
1059
01:16:21,581 --> 01:16:24,208
Actually, better I don't know the amount.
1060
01:16:24,292 --> 01:16:25,126
Ray.
1061
01:16:26,961 --> 01:16:27,837
Pastor.
1062
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:32,216
My son is not going to be trying out
for professional baseball.
1063
01:16:32,300 --> 01:16:33,634
No, he is gonna try out.
1064
01:16:33,718 --> 01:16:35,762
Boy's been trying out
for professional baseball
1065
01:16:35,845 --> 01:16:37,388
since he was 9 years old
1066
01:16:37,472 --> 01:16:39,515
and busted a hole
in my windshield over there.
1067
01:16:39,599 --> 01:16:43,102
I don't need you coming around here
filling him full of false hope...
1068
01:16:44,020 --> 01:16:45,480
and putting him into debt.
1069
01:16:45,563 --> 01:16:47,815
Pastor, I'm begging you.
1070
01:16:50,276 --> 01:16:54,864
Give that boy one solitary chance
1071
01:16:54,947 --> 01:16:58,159
to show the right people
what he was born to do.
1072
01:16:58,242 --> 01:17:01,454
You're gonna paralyze him.
That's what you're gonna do.
1073
01:17:01,996 --> 01:17:04,540
Now, he's my son, not yours.
1074
01:17:04,624 --> 01:17:06,876
I know him better than you do.
1075
01:17:06,959 --> 01:17:10,213
And you heard him.
We don't need your money.
1076
01:17:10,296 --> 01:17:13,758
I think it's about time you stopped
meddling in this family's affairs
1077
01:17:13,841 --> 01:17:17,220
and get in your truck
and get on down the road.
1078
01:17:17,804 --> 01:17:19,097
That tears it.
1079
01:17:20,181 --> 01:17:21,682
Bring that check yonder.
1080
01:17:22,266 --> 01:17:23,101
Lilian!
1081
01:17:30,817 --> 01:17:32,402
"Pay the sum of..."
1082
01:17:32,485 --> 01:17:36,072
-Gracie?
-$4,652.
1083
01:17:36,656 --> 01:17:37,740
What?
1084
01:17:46,499 --> 01:17:48,209
You're a good man, Raymond.
1085
01:17:49,127 --> 01:17:51,629
Even if you're a bit of a heathen.
1086
01:17:53,506 --> 01:17:54,507
Thank you.
1087
01:18:23,536 --> 01:18:26,497
I believe you are an angel.
1088
01:18:26,581 --> 01:18:29,709
That's sweet,
but that's the morphine talking.
1089
01:18:30,835 --> 01:18:32,503
The truth's the truth.
1090
01:18:32,587 --> 01:18:34,088
What about me?
1091
01:18:34,172 --> 01:18:36,090
You're still my angel, Mama.
1092
01:18:36,841 --> 01:18:39,719
Just as good-looking as this sweet girl?
1093
01:18:39,802 --> 01:18:40,970
You could be twins.
1094
01:18:45,892 --> 01:18:47,435
How come you look worried?
1095
01:18:47,518 --> 01:18:49,604
Even more worried than usual.
1096
01:18:49,687 --> 01:18:52,190
The damage was worse than we expected.
1097
01:18:53,107 --> 01:18:57,362
We're still hopeful for a full recovery,
but it's gonna take some time.
1098
01:18:57,445 --> 01:18:59,739
Tryouts are in seven weeks.
1099
01:19:00,448 --> 01:19:01,574
Not for you.
1100
01:19:01,657 --> 01:19:02,742
I'm sorry.
1101
01:20:24,323 --> 01:20:25,700
Hey, mister.
1102
01:20:26,576 --> 01:20:30,371
For a guy who can hardly walk,
you sure can hit.
1103
01:20:30,955 --> 01:20:32,248
You like baseball?
1104
01:20:32,331 --> 01:20:33,249
Love it.
1105
01:20:38,921 --> 01:20:39,922
Keep at it.
1106
01:20:41,591 --> 01:20:42,800
You might have a chance.
1107
01:20:56,564 --> 01:20:58,357
Hey, what is your rush?
1108
01:21:00,026 --> 01:21:01,986
I wanna take you someplace nice.
1109
01:21:02,820 --> 01:21:04,030
Talk about the future.
1110
01:21:04,739 --> 01:21:05,573
Well...
1111
01:21:06,115 --> 01:21:09,744
if we're gonna talk about us,
we should probably be us.
1112
01:21:09,827 --> 01:21:10,828
Come on.
1113
01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:23,299
It's so cold tonight.
1114
01:21:23,383 --> 01:21:26,844
We'll be eating better
when I start earning some serious money.
1115
01:21:26,928 --> 01:21:28,596
Not on a rookie's salary.
1116
01:21:32,266 --> 01:21:33,226
Gracie...
1117
01:21:37,146 --> 01:21:38,773
it's all stacked against me.
1118
01:21:38,856 --> 01:21:40,233
Too risky.
1119
01:21:41,818 --> 01:21:42,860
You're quitting?
1120
01:21:42,944 --> 01:21:44,278
Stuck in a chair...
1121
01:21:45,113 --> 01:21:46,072
a bed, for life?
1122
01:21:46,155 --> 01:21:48,991
-I wouldn't be any good to you.
-Don't you make this about me.
1123
01:21:50,993 --> 01:21:52,203
I'm scared.
1124
01:21:53,329 --> 01:21:56,165
I grew up in shackles,
I won't chance going back.
1125
01:21:56,249 --> 01:21:59,544
I was raised by a man who gave up.
1126
01:22:00,378 --> 01:22:01,504
He lost hope.
1127
01:22:02,213 --> 01:22:04,465
And I saw what that did to him.
1128
01:22:04,549 --> 01:22:08,428
Now, if you don't try,
you're gonna die inside.
1129
01:22:09,512 --> 01:22:11,806
And that's the one thing
I won't stick around to watch.
1130
01:22:13,141 --> 01:22:14,976
Now, I want my dreamer back.
1131
01:22:15,810 --> 01:22:16,978
I need him.
1132
01:22:17,061 --> 01:22:18,646
I'm gonna take my chances.
1133
01:22:19,731 --> 01:22:20,982
I can't.
1134
01:22:23,359 --> 01:22:24,318
Rickey.
1135
01:22:55,808 --> 01:22:56,642
Come on.
1136
01:22:57,852 --> 01:22:58,978
Come on, get in!
1137
01:23:00,021 --> 01:23:01,647
What's got you so spooked?
1138
01:23:02,148 --> 01:23:02,982
Come on.
1139
01:23:13,242 --> 01:23:14,869
That my slugger?
1140
01:23:19,540 --> 01:23:22,293
You're gonna come through this, Gram.
1141
01:23:22,377 --> 01:23:25,046
You know doctors
and their doom and their gloom.
1142
01:23:25,129 --> 01:23:26,547
Hush, hush, hush.
1143
01:23:27,256 --> 01:23:29,634
I'm going on to His glory.
1144
01:23:36,557 --> 01:23:37,642
Looking for these?
1145
01:23:43,773 --> 01:23:45,441
When I was a girl...
1146
01:23:48,403 --> 01:23:52,198
all I wanted was to breed horses.
1147
01:23:52,281 --> 01:23:53,950
And one summer,
1148
01:23:54,033 --> 01:23:56,035
I expect I was no more than 17,
1149
01:23:56,577 --> 01:23:58,705
I got a job at a ranch.
1150
01:23:58,788 --> 01:24:04,210
Oh, glory, if I didn't love
every blessed minute there.
1151
01:24:05,712 --> 01:24:10,800
Late that spring, it was about a month
before I was set to return...
1152
01:24:11,759 --> 01:24:13,052
I met this...
1153
01:24:14,011 --> 01:24:15,096
handsome...
1154
01:24:16,514 --> 01:24:17,849
young dude.
1155
01:24:22,895 --> 01:24:24,230
And...
1156
01:24:24,313 --> 01:24:26,065
out of the deal, I...
1157
01:24:27,358 --> 01:24:28,526
I got y'all.
1158
01:24:33,531 --> 01:24:34,574
Regret...
1159
01:24:36,576 --> 01:24:40,955
it's an ache in your bones
that don't ever stop.
1160
01:24:43,332 --> 01:24:45,251
-James.
-Yes.
1161
01:24:47,336 --> 01:24:48,588
You're a good man.
1162
01:24:51,424 --> 01:24:54,552
But tonight I'm gonna ask you
to be a great one.
1163
01:24:56,888 --> 01:24:58,514
Give your son his dream.
1164
01:25:16,115 --> 01:25:17,367
I never doubted you.
1165
01:25:20,787 --> 01:25:21,871
All right, then.
1166
01:25:22,872 --> 01:25:23,915
Next week...
1167
01:25:25,166 --> 01:25:27,960
when you step up at them tryouts...
1168
01:25:28,628 --> 01:25:30,046
sling that stone.
1169
01:25:31,714 --> 01:25:33,508
Bring down Goliath.
1170
01:25:35,551 --> 01:25:36,594
Just know...
1171
01:25:37,595 --> 01:25:38,888
I'll be watching.
1172
01:25:44,852 --> 01:25:46,646
And these three things remain.
1173
01:25:47,271 --> 01:25:48,940
Faith, hope...
1174
01:25:49,941 --> 01:25:50,817
love.
1175
01:25:51,776 --> 01:25:54,195
And the greatest of these is love.
1176
01:25:56,072 --> 01:26:01,244
And she gave of herself and her love
in such abundance...
1177
01:26:02,203 --> 01:26:05,289
and reserved for us her blessing...
1178
01:26:06,416 --> 01:26:08,710
to speak the unvarnished truth...
1179
01:26:10,002 --> 01:26:12,588
whether we wanted to hear it or not.
1180
01:26:15,550 --> 01:26:16,676
I will miss her.
1181
01:26:17,468 --> 01:26:19,512
May her fierce spirit...
1182
01:26:20,138 --> 01:26:22,056
guard the foals of spring.
1183
01:26:22,557 --> 01:26:24,142
What's that quote from?
1184
01:26:26,185 --> 01:26:27,270
A man's heart.
1185
01:27:36,339 --> 01:27:37,799
What do you want first?
1186
01:27:37,882 --> 01:27:39,675
Bad news, or the worst?
1187
01:27:39,759 --> 01:27:41,719
Will you stop sugarcoating things?
1188
01:27:41,803 --> 01:27:46,474
Tryout next week
is gonna be teeming with pro scouts.
1189
01:27:49,060 --> 01:27:51,312
Exactly. How's that a bad thing?
1190
01:27:51,396 --> 01:27:54,023
Well, 'cause one of them's Red Murff.
1191
01:27:54,107 --> 01:27:56,109
The Nolan Ryan Red?
1192
01:27:56,192 --> 01:27:57,527
That Red.
1193
01:27:57,610 --> 01:27:59,278
The toughest scout in the game.
1194
01:28:00,822 --> 01:28:04,158
Now, I told you you're gonna get
your chance to show them your stuff.
1195
01:28:04,242 --> 01:28:05,201
You ready?
1196
01:28:09,038 --> 01:28:10,248
As I can be.
1197
01:28:10,331 --> 01:28:13,876
Well, hell, I'd have taken a little more,
like emphatic "Hell, yeah," but...
1198
01:28:15,253 --> 01:28:17,213
Now, you just remember one thing, though.
1199
01:28:17,296 --> 01:28:19,841
All old Red's gotta do is see you hit.
1200
01:28:48,953 --> 01:28:51,622
Nice. That was bad on my part.
You all right?
1201
01:28:52,915 --> 01:28:54,125
Tomorrow, I...
1202
01:28:54,959 --> 01:28:57,086
I face one of my greatest trials.
1203
01:28:59,047 --> 01:29:01,340
I will prevail not for myself...
1204
01:29:02,300 --> 01:29:04,260
nor to defy my earthly father...
1205
01:29:06,888 --> 01:29:09,557
who, through your grace,
1206
01:29:09,640 --> 01:29:13,061
I've come to love and understand more.
1207
01:29:14,395 --> 01:29:15,938
I know I've been selfish...
1208
01:29:18,274 --> 01:29:21,778
that his beliefs and works
at your service come before mine.
1209
01:29:22,695 --> 01:29:26,991
I will try to find some other way
to deserve his love...
1210
01:29:28,242 --> 01:29:29,702
and make him proud.
1211
01:29:34,207 --> 01:29:35,625
But tomorrow, Lord...
1212
01:29:36,626 --> 01:29:38,044
be at my side.
1213
01:29:42,673 --> 01:29:44,300
I cannot do this alone.
1214
01:30:27,802 --> 01:30:30,471
Two hundred top baseball talents.
1215
01:30:31,848 --> 01:30:35,143
That's how many of you
qualified to stand here this morning.
1216
01:30:36,310 --> 01:30:38,104
By the end of the longest,
1217
01:30:38,187 --> 01:30:41,691
toughest day of baseball
any of you have endured,
1218
01:30:41,774 --> 01:30:44,485
only a handful of you will remain.
1219
01:30:44,569 --> 01:30:46,988
You'll be divided into two teams.
1220
01:30:47,613 --> 01:30:51,659
Tomorrow night, you'll go head to head
in the big boy park.
1221
01:30:51,743 --> 01:30:53,453
And make no mistake.
1222
01:30:54,454 --> 01:30:56,998
You're not just playing to win.
1223
01:30:57,582 --> 01:31:00,168
You're playing to join the elite.
1224
01:31:01,669 --> 01:31:05,048
I ain't here wasting my time
with guys who play baseball.
1225
01:31:05,715 --> 01:31:07,800
We're looking for baseball players.
1226
01:31:07,884 --> 01:31:12,305
Hopes, dreams, determination don't matter.
1227
01:31:12,388 --> 01:31:14,223
This comes down to one thing.
1228
01:31:15,224 --> 01:31:16,267
Who's best.
1229
01:31:16,350 --> 01:31:19,479
We'll be sending you off in groups
to various fields,
1230
01:31:19,562 --> 01:31:21,564
where these men will be making the calls
1231
01:31:21,647 --> 01:31:25,651
as to who moves up and who goes home.
1232
01:31:25,735 --> 01:31:27,236
Your only goal:
1233
01:31:27,320 --> 01:31:30,198
Convince them to send you to the stadium.
1234
01:31:30,281 --> 01:31:33,117
That stadium is the winner's circle,
1235
01:31:33,201 --> 01:31:37,413
where you will face the last man
to decide your fate.
1236
01:31:39,290 --> 01:31:40,124
Me.
1237
01:31:41,751 --> 01:31:42,794
Last up...
1238
01:31:44,253 --> 01:31:45,338
one rule.
1239
01:31:46,297 --> 01:31:49,759
No talking to the scouts
unless they talk to you.
1240
01:31:49,842 --> 01:31:52,428
Let your play show them what you got.
1241
01:31:52,512 --> 01:31:54,305
And if they say you're done...
1242
01:31:56,099 --> 01:31:57,016
you're done.
1243
01:31:58,559 --> 01:32:02,063
All right, ladies, get your assignments.
Let's head to the field.
1244
01:32:07,318 --> 01:32:08,820
Jason!
1245
01:32:09,404 --> 01:32:12,156
They tried to tell me
Rickey Hill was finished.
1246
01:32:12,240 --> 01:32:15,368
I said, "Nah, Hill's got himself
another mountain to climb.
1247
01:32:15,868 --> 01:32:18,663
He's too hardheaded to quit,
and too dumb to listen."
1248
01:32:19,247 --> 01:32:22,500
Pitchers and catchers,
to the stadium with Red now, let's go!
1249
01:32:22,583 --> 01:32:23,459
That's me.
1250
01:32:24,836 --> 01:32:26,045
Good luck.
1251
01:32:26,129 --> 01:32:27,213
Hey.
1252
01:32:28,589 --> 01:32:30,091
You didn't bring Quinn with you?
1253
01:32:31,509 --> 01:32:33,136
After you went yard on him,
1254
01:32:33,219 --> 01:32:35,012
all the air
got leaked out of that balloon.
1255
01:33:05,877 --> 01:33:07,086
Run! Run hard!
1256
01:33:07,170 --> 01:33:08,504
Run hard! Harder!
1257
01:33:46,542 --> 01:33:47,835
How's he doing?
1258
01:33:47,919 --> 01:33:48,920
He's hurting.
1259
01:33:49,003 --> 01:33:50,296
But he is--
1260
01:33:50,380 --> 01:33:52,173
He's hitting the best I've ever seen.
1261
01:33:52,256 --> 01:33:53,466
Hey, Hill.
1262
01:33:54,801 --> 01:33:56,886
Don't seem to be making
much of a difference.
1263
01:33:57,387 --> 01:34:00,306
Coach, you ain't cutting me.
I'm still due my second round of hitting.
1264
01:34:00,390 --> 01:34:01,849
I'm not wasting our time.
1265
01:34:01,933 --> 01:34:04,143
You can swing, you just can't run.
1266
01:34:04,727 --> 01:34:06,854
I don't think
they're giving a contract to sign.
1267
01:34:07,438 --> 01:34:10,566
They can't cut him yet.
Red hasn't seen him hit.
1268
01:34:11,150 --> 01:34:15,154
If you give me my last at-bat
and I don't moonshot every pitch,
1269
01:34:15,238 --> 01:34:16,197
I'll cut myself.
1270
01:34:16,280 --> 01:34:18,157
I'm not negotiating with you.
1271
01:34:18,658 --> 01:34:21,369
But I'll tell you what,
if that's what it takes for you to leave,
1272
01:34:21,452 --> 01:34:22,995
then grab your bat.
1273
01:34:23,079 --> 01:34:24,080
Yes, sir.
1274
01:35:12,920 --> 01:35:13,963
Hey.
1275
01:35:14,047 --> 01:35:16,007
Watch where you're throwing, son.
1276
01:35:17,467 --> 01:35:18,801
Then four catchers...
1277
01:35:20,678 --> 01:35:22,597
-Incoming!
-Watch out.
1278
01:35:26,309 --> 01:35:27,810
What's he doing?
1279
01:35:28,519 --> 01:35:30,104
Breaking windshields.
1280
01:35:33,274 --> 01:35:35,985
Can someone tell me
what the hell's going on?
1281
01:35:43,701 --> 01:35:44,535
Gracious.
1282
01:35:45,244 --> 01:35:48,373
Question is, is that boy hitting
from home plate or second base?
1283
01:35:51,709 --> 01:35:53,669
Hell, that's over 400 foot.
1284
01:35:54,837 --> 01:35:55,880
Every bit of it.
1285
01:35:57,757 --> 01:36:01,469
How about we stop whoever's bombing us
and check the boy's bat?
1286
01:36:02,136 --> 01:36:04,263
Want me to shut him down, Red?
1287
01:36:07,392 --> 01:36:10,061
-Do it now before he kills someone.
-Yes, sir.
1288
01:37:14,500 --> 01:37:16,002
How many homers was that?
1289
01:37:16,794 --> 01:37:17,670
I don't know.
1290
01:37:18,629 --> 01:37:20,381
I lost count after 16.
1291
01:37:31,642 --> 01:37:33,061
That's a homer.
1292
01:37:34,353 --> 01:37:36,397
Boy, I know what a homer looks like.
1293
01:37:36,481 --> 01:37:38,733
It don't count
unless you're batting in the majors.
1294
01:38:23,569 --> 01:38:25,446
Red. It's him.
1295
01:38:28,074 --> 01:38:32,537
-Mr. Murff? I'm--
-Rickey Hill. Never forget a name.
1296
01:38:33,621 --> 01:38:36,082
Sir, I'm one of the best hitters
you're ever gonna see.
1297
01:38:36,165 --> 01:38:39,085
If I hadn't seen them bombs
you'd been dropping with my own eyes,
1298
01:38:39,168 --> 01:38:42,046
I'd be calling all hat and no cattle
on that claim.
1299
01:38:42,130 --> 01:38:43,464
Well, it ain't no claim.
1300
01:38:43,548 --> 01:38:46,134
Today, you should've seen me hit.
1301
01:38:46,801 --> 01:38:49,137
Because I got a bum ankle,
that's gonna heal...
1302
01:38:51,013 --> 01:38:52,515
they wouldn't bring me up.
1303
01:38:52,598 --> 01:38:54,726
For good reason. You don't belong here.
1304
01:38:55,435 --> 01:38:58,855
A bad leg
could cost a team wins and money.
1305
01:38:58,938 --> 01:39:02,025
-Money?
-Pro ball ain't just a game.
1306
01:39:02,108 --> 01:39:03,609
It's a damn business.
1307
01:39:03,693 --> 01:39:07,363
-Come back next year when you heal up.
-I can't wait until next year.
1308
01:39:08,656 --> 01:39:11,117
Boy's got him some cojones.
1309
01:39:11,200 --> 01:39:13,786
-Know what, that's enough--
-No, no. No, let him be.
1310
01:39:14,704 --> 01:39:16,581
I gotta admit, I'm curious.
1311
01:39:17,874 --> 01:39:21,586
Tell you what.
We're gonna settle this fair and square.
1312
01:39:22,462 --> 01:39:23,337
How?
1313
01:39:23,421 --> 01:39:26,758
Put you up against
the best pitching talent in the game.
1314
01:39:27,425 --> 01:39:28,468
Tomorrow night?
1315
01:39:29,302 --> 01:39:33,139
That game's gonna be as close
to a pro game as you'll ever get.
1316
01:39:34,432 --> 01:39:37,643
I'm gonna let you DH for both teams.
1317
01:39:38,561 --> 01:39:41,355
Then we can get a nice, long look at you.
1318
01:39:43,524 --> 01:39:44,859
I won't embarrass you.
1319
01:39:46,361 --> 01:39:47,570
You got my word.
1320
01:39:48,404 --> 01:39:50,490
I'm gonna give you this shot here.
1321
01:39:51,699 --> 01:39:54,160
But you don't perform,
it's the end of the road.
1322
01:39:55,411 --> 01:39:56,871
Get you a new dream.
1323
01:40:10,301 --> 01:40:11,427
"Salvation."
1324
01:40:12,595 --> 01:40:14,722
Does that sound
a little old-fashioned to you?
1325
01:40:15,890 --> 01:40:17,141
-Helen?
-Hello?
1326
01:40:18,309 --> 01:40:19,769
It's another reporter.
1327
01:40:20,645 --> 01:40:21,979
Not a mistake.
1328
01:40:22,063 --> 01:40:24,273
Rickey's gonna be
designated hitter for both teams.
1329
01:40:26,109 --> 01:40:28,152
Sure. Yeah,
the whole family's gonna be there.
1330
01:40:29,987 --> 01:40:31,280
It's so frizzy.
1331
01:40:31,364 --> 01:40:33,449
It's the best I ever seen it.
1332
01:40:35,827 --> 01:40:37,995
Hello? Oh, well...
1333
01:40:40,581 --> 01:40:41,833
Sorry, Mama.
1334
01:40:45,336 --> 01:40:47,630
Half your congregation
isn't gonna be there.
1335
01:40:48,840 --> 01:40:51,884
Wherever two or more are gathered.
1336
01:40:53,219 --> 01:40:55,263
Now, may I have my eggs?
1337
01:40:57,390 --> 01:41:00,059
Down here in front of me.
May I have my eggs?
1338
01:41:09,485 --> 01:41:12,530
What on earth has gotten into you?
1339
01:41:15,742 --> 01:41:16,868
I need...
1340
01:41:16,951 --> 01:41:18,202
I need Mama.
1341
01:41:18,828 --> 01:41:20,204
She understood.
1342
01:41:22,081 --> 01:41:24,042
She said you didn't do a thing wrong.
1343
01:41:25,626 --> 01:41:27,795
Your boy, he's not a freak.
1344
01:41:28,337 --> 01:41:29,964
He's special.
1345
01:41:30,048 --> 01:41:30,882
He's...
1346
01:41:32,008 --> 01:41:33,176
perfect.
1347
01:41:34,510 --> 01:41:36,471
When he was born, I saw him first.
1348
01:41:36,554 --> 01:41:42,268
His legs so thin and frail, they said,
"He will never walk," and he ran.
1349
01:41:42,351 --> 01:41:45,396
They said, "He will never live
through the operations,"
1350
01:41:45,480 --> 01:41:47,356
and he survived!
1351
01:41:47,440 --> 01:41:50,443
They said he would never be good enough,
1352
01:41:50,526 --> 01:41:52,862
and he is the best.
1353
01:41:53,863 --> 01:41:57,241
How many miracles do you need?
1354
01:42:01,037 --> 01:42:01,954
Stop it.
1355
01:42:30,983 --> 01:42:32,568
However you're cheating,
1356
01:42:33,069 --> 01:42:35,113
you've gotten so good,
I can't even catch it.
1357
01:42:40,118 --> 01:42:41,619
Wanna know my secret?
1358
01:42:45,998 --> 01:42:47,041
I ain't doing it.
1359
01:42:49,502 --> 01:42:51,295
Well, then, who is?
1360
01:42:56,801 --> 01:43:00,346
I guess you'd have to be
living in the cave of Lazarus
1361
01:43:00,430 --> 01:43:04,016
not to know
why there's so few of us here tonight.
1362
01:43:04,100 --> 01:43:08,479
My son Rickey, he's got a baseball game.
1363
01:43:09,480 --> 01:43:10,982
Very important.
1364
01:43:13,192 --> 01:43:14,777
And if he does well...
1365
01:43:16,529 --> 01:43:22,368
he will have the opportunity
to become a major league player.
1366
01:43:22,910 --> 01:43:27,040
To play professionally
is his heart's desire.
1367
01:43:27,123 --> 01:43:29,792
I've always known that he's had...
1368
01:43:31,210 --> 01:43:34,922
an exceptional ability to hit a baseball.
1369
01:43:35,006 --> 01:43:37,216
So you might find it curious...
1370
01:43:38,384 --> 01:43:44,057
to know that I have
never seen Rickey play.
1371
01:43:44,932 --> 01:43:46,309
That is a fact...
1372
01:43:47,685 --> 01:43:48,770
that I have...
1373
01:43:50,813 --> 01:43:52,190
been proud of...
1374
01:43:53,941 --> 01:43:55,985
the whole time that he's played.
1375
01:43:58,321 --> 01:44:00,239
Right up until this very night.
1376
01:45:03,177 --> 01:45:06,013
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to an exhibition game
1377
01:45:06,097 --> 01:45:09,642
showcasing the best amateur players
in the great state of Texas.
1378
01:45:09,726 --> 01:45:10,810
Go get them!
1379
01:45:11,894 --> 01:45:13,312
Lord knows you've earned it.
1380
01:45:13,396 --> 01:45:14,939
Proud of you, Rickey.
1381
01:45:30,788 --> 01:45:32,290
Let me get this straight.
1382
01:45:32,790 --> 01:45:35,460
I hear they got you hitting
for both sides tonight.
1383
01:45:35,543 --> 01:45:36,377
Yeah.
1384
01:45:37,420 --> 01:45:38,755
That's some heavy lifting.
1385
01:45:39,505 --> 01:45:42,050
You know, the boys and I were talking.
1386
01:45:43,009 --> 01:45:46,262
And if you was to manage
one more home run for the blue team...
1387
01:45:46,929 --> 01:45:50,558
got a ice-cold six-pack of RC Cola
waiting for you in the clubhouse.
1388
01:45:50,641 --> 01:45:52,727
I'll see what I can do for you.
1389
01:45:52,810 --> 01:45:53,853
All right.
1390
01:45:54,395 --> 01:45:56,022
The starting pitcher for the red team,
1391
01:45:56,105 --> 01:45:59,317
four-time college
All-American Jake Wilford.
1392
01:46:08,534 --> 01:46:10,995
It's your time, Rickey!
1393
01:46:11,079 --> 01:46:13,998
Tonight, we are in
for a special treat, folks.
1394
01:46:14,082 --> 01:46:17,460
A local high school baseball star
by the name of Rickey Hill.
1395
01:46:17,543 --> 01:46:19,504
Now, this kid has quite a story.
1396
01:46:19,587 --> 01:46:22,882
He's battled degenerative spinal disease
since he was a little boy,
1397
01:46:22,965 --> 01:46:26,761
and recently suffered a real bad setback
where he fractured his ankle,
1398
01:46:26,844 --> 01:46:28,346
resulting in surgery.
1399
01:46:28,429 --> 01:46:31,432
You know, he's overcome a lot,
and he's on a mission.
1400
01:46:34,143 --> 01:46:36,562
Red Murff is gonna give him
a shot of a lifetime
1401
01:46:36,646 --> 01:46:41,150
by being the DH on both teams
to prove to him if he can hit
1402
01:46:41,234 --> 01:46:43,528
and really get to the big leagues.
1403
01:46:43,611 --> 01:46:45,655
Don't take it easy on him, Jake.
1404
01:46:45,738 --> 01:46:47,448
He calls himself a hitter.
1405
01:46:53,037 --> 01:46:55,581
Can you imagine
what's going through Hill's mind,
1406
01:46:55,665 --> 01:46:56,624
all that he had to do,
1407
01:46:56,708 --> 01:47:00,253
just to get to this point
to prove he belongs as a hitter?
1408
01:47:03,464 --> 01:47:05,466
Digs into the batter's box.
1409
01:47:06,718 --> 01:47:11,013
We're about to see
if Hill is ready for the task.
1410
01:47:11,097 --> 01:47:13,933
Wilford on the mound,
getting ready to throw the first pitch.
1411
01:47:17,729 --> 01:47:19,856
Rocks back and delivers a fastball.
1412
01:47:19,939 --> 01:47:21,607
-Strike one!
-Right by Hill.
1413
01:47:21,691 --> 01:47:23,317
Looked like he was on his front foot.
1414
01:47:23,401 --> 01:47:26,696
Probably anxious, just seeing
that velocity for the first time.
1415
01:47:35,413 --> 01:47:37,206
-Strike two!
-Curveball, and a beauty.
1416
01:47:37,290 --> 01:47:40,168
Drops off the table.
That had a lot of break on it.
1417
01:47:40,251 --> 01:47:43,421
And really quickly,
Hill is 0-2 in the count.
1418
01:47:46,174 --> 01:47:48,176
Two strikes on Hill.
1419
01:47:48,259 --> 01:47:49,802
Wilford delivers.
1420
01:47:50,636 --> 01:47:54,348
That's a line-drive base hit.
That's gotta feel good for Hill.
1421
01:47:54,891 --> 01:47:58,186
Good hit, Rickey!
That'll shake the cobwebs off.
1422
01:47:58,269 --> 01:47:59,604
What, his or yours?
1423
01:48:01,189 --> 01:48:04,567
And that's gotta take a lot
of pressure off of him to start the day.
1424
01:48:09,238 --> 01:48:11,240
And a pinch runner steps in for Hill.
1425
01:48:13,618 --> 01:48:15,328
I have been selfish.
1426
01:48:17,580 --> 01:48:19,707
I have been arrogant.
1427
01:48:21,250 --> 01:48:22,210
I...
1428
01:48:24,462 --> 01:48:25,630
Even cruel.
1429
01:48:27,090 --> 01:48:29,967
I thought that...
1430
01:48:30,802 --> 01:48:33,513
I knew God's plan for my son.
1431
01:48:34,680 --> 01:48:38,393
And I raised him
in obedience to that plan.
1432
01:48:41,187 --> 01:48:42,772
But it wasn't God's plan.
1433
01:48:45,525 --> 01:48:46,526
It was my plan.
1434
01:48:52,115 --> 01:48:53,491
Rickey had to...
1435
01:48:54,909 --> 01:48:57,995
wear braces on his legs just to walk.
1436
01:48:58,830 --> 01:49:02,917
And no matter how he does
in that game tonight...
1437
01:49:03,668 --> 01:49:09,006
he has overcome that terrible burden
that he has had to carry his whole life.
1438
01:49:12,343 --> 01:49:14,303
I've been the one that's been the cripple.
1439
01:49:15,054 --> 01:49:19,934
I just couldn't see past
what I thought my son should be
1440
01:49:20,017 --> 01:49:24,856
and just see who he really is
1441
01:49:25,398 --> 01:49:27,066
in the eyes of God.
1442
01:49:33,823 --> 01:49:37,827
I'm supposed to be your pastor,
your spiritual leader.
1443
01:49:39,537 --> 01:49:40,371
But...
1444
01:49:42,206 --> 01:49:43,666
right now I just feel...
1445
01:49:44,375 --> 01:49:45,543
so ignorant.
1446
01:49:46,919 --> 01:49:47,920
And ashamed.
1447
01:49:53,051 --> 01:49:55,178
I can't even ask your forgiveness.
1448
01:49:57,764 --> 01:49:59,891
I guess I gotta go to God for that.
1449
01:50:02,643 --> 01:50:06,064
Now batting, this time for the red team,
designated hitter Rickey Hill.
1450
01:50:06,147 --> 01:50:08,066
-Rickey!
-As he gets in the box,
1451
01:50:08,149 --> 01:50:10,193
Red goes out to the mound
to talk to his pitcher.
1452
01:50:10,735 --> 01:50:13,237
Take him down. Let's end this.
1453
01:50:18,618 --> 01:50:20,787
The pitcher gets back
on the rubber, looks back,
1454
01:50:20,870 --> 01:50:22,580
and says to himself, I'm sure,
1455
01:50:22,663 --> 01:50:25,958
"I never pitched a ball with a guy
standing right behind me."
1456
01:50:26,542 --> 01:50:30,129
Red Murff, a legend in this game,
is planted right by the pitcher.
1457
01:50:36,677 --> 01:50:39,972
Windup, and the pitch.
1458
01:50:40,056 --> 01:50:42,475
Laced right up the middle.
Red had to get out of the way.
1459
01:50:42,558 --> 01:50:44,894
Another base hit in his second at-bat.
1460
01:50:45,812 --> 01:50:48,856
I haven't seen Red
move like that in 20 years.
1461
01:50:48,940 --> 01:50:53,152
Kind of gives a head of acknowledgment to,
"Okay, that's two."
1462
01:51:43,369 --> 01:51:46,873
Hill has been 10-for-10.
He gets another hit.
1463
01:51:52,253 --> 01:51:54,380
Who would've thought that
Hill could've done this,
1464
01:51:54,464 --> 01:51:55,923
after all that he's been through?
1465
01:51:56,007 --> 01:51:58,134
The surgeries, the comeback.
1466
01:51:58,718 --> 01:52:02,722
Pretty amazing story,
as he steps in now for his 11th at-bat.
1467
01:52:02,805 --> 01:52:03,848
Red goes to the mound.
1468
01:52:03,931 --> 01:52:05,933
Looks like he's gonna
make a change, and he is.
1469
01:52:06,017 --> 01:52:07,560
Making a change to the bullpen.
1470
01:52:09,562 --> 01:52:10,855
What am I missing?
1471
01:52:11,606 --> 01:52:15,068
Red. Playing his last stink card.
1472
01:52:16,819 --> 01:52:19,447
Oh, ladies and gentlemen,
this is gonna be a treat right here.
1473
01:52:19,530 --> 01:52:21,949
This is big-league pitcher Jimmy Hammer.
1474
01:52:22,992 --> 01:52:25,411
Hammer. The All-Star.
1475
01:52:26,204 --> 01:52:29,248
Makes major leaguers look like Cinderella.
1476
01:52:29,332 --> 01:52:30,708
He's just here for rehab.
1477
01:52:30,792 --> 01:52:34,087
Now Red's bringing him in
to ruin Rickey's night.
1478
01:52:34,170 --> 01:52:35,838
Well, Rickey can hit anyone.
1479
01:52:36,881 --> 01:52:37,715
Right?
1480
01:52:40,802 --> 01:52:42,428
Go ahead and warm up.
1481
01:52:44,430 --> 01:52:47,225
Don't need them. I'm gonna set him down.
1482
01:52:48,267 --> 01:52:51,354
This is a guy who's used
to putting out the game with heat,
1483
01:52:51,437 --> 01:52:54,524
comes in and silences all the at-bats.
1484
01:52:54,607 --> 01:52:56,192
Hill digs in.
1485
01:52:56,275 --> 01:52:57,860
You would think 11-for-11
1486
01:52:57,944 --> 01:53:01,030
is a very daunting task
against the big right-hander.
1487
01:53:03,408 --> 01:53:06,786
As he toes the mound and gets
ready for his first pitch, here it comes.
1488
01:53:07,912 --> 01:53:09,914
-Strike one!
-Fastball, right by him.
1489
01:53:09,997 --> 01:53:11,499
Little bit of a flinch.
1490
01:53:23,219 --> 01:53:25,555
-Strike two!
-Swing and a miss.
1491
01:53:26,389 --> 01:53:28,057
Hill looks around in amazement,
1492
01:53:28,683 --> 01:53:31,269
as Red knew probably
this is what he needed to see
1493
01:53:32,019 --> 01:53:37,233
to make his challenge
against Hill about as big as it gets.
1494
01:53:43,364 --> 01:53:44,449
Foul ball!
1495
01:53:44,532 --> 01:53:46,242
Foul ball down the right-field line.
1496
01:53:46,826 --> 01:53:48,202
He got a piece of that.
1497
01:53:52,206 --> 01:53:56,085
Hill processing everything right now,
and Hammer knows he's got one task,
1498
01:53:56,169 --> 01:53:59,756
and that's to strike out Hill
and show him what he's made of.
1499
01:54:00,798 --> 01:54:04,093
Hammer delivering a two-strike pitch.
Here it comes.
1500
01:54:04,802 --> 01:54:07,055
Oh, no, high and tight. Dusted him.
1501
01:54:07,138 --> 01:54:10,391
It hit Hill right in the rib area,
and he is down.
1502
01:54:10,933 --> 01:54:11,934
In obvious pain.
1503
01:54:12,018 --> 01:54:15,146
Here comes Red
to the batter's box to check on him.
1504
01:54:17,648 --> 01:54:19,400
Come on, Rickey.
1505
01:54:20,151 --> 01:54:21,152
Get up.
1506
01:54:22,445 --> 01:54:24,822
What next? He takes a base, right?
1507
01:54:24,906 --> 01:54:26,115
He goes to first.
1508
01:54:26,199 --> 01:54:28,117
With everything that
Hill has been through,
1509
01:54:28,201 --> 01:54:30,286
you just wonder
if this is one of those things
1510
01:54:30,370 --> 01:54:32,747
that might not allow him to continue.
1511
01:54:32,830 --> 01:54:34,415
It looks like he's in a lot of pain.
1512
01:54:35,375 --> 01:54:36,709
You done, kid?
1513
01:54:37,335 --> 01:54:39,670
Walk it off. Take your base.
1514
01:54:42,924 --> 01:54:44,092
No.
1515
01:54:45,051 --> 01:54:48,554
What do you mean, no? Take your damn base.
1516
01:54:50,640 --> 01:54:53,017
I don't have to take my base.
1517
01:54:55,770 --> 01:54:57,063
It's not a real game.
1518
01:54:58,481 --> 01:54:59,524
It's a tryout.
1519
01:55:02,026 --> 01:55:03,611
You're 10-for-10.
1520
01:55:04,862 --> 01:55:07,281
You got nothing left to prove.
1521
01:55:09,659 --> 01:55:10,868
He's gonna stay in and hit.
1522
01:55:12,328 --> 01:55:14,163
We're watching
an incredible moment, folks.
1523
01:55:14,247 --> 01:55:16,457
This is something
that normally doesn't happen.
1524
01:55:16,541 --> 01:55:17,959
Hey, what's he doing?
1525
01:55:19,085 --> 01:55:20,878
Well, take a base, Rickey!
1526
01:55:27,802 --> 01:55:30,555
Again, 10-for-10 and then getting hit.
1527
01:55:30,638 --> 01:55:34,350
And he wants to stay in the box
and try to go 11-for-11.
1528
01:55:35,017 --> 01:55:40,565
Imagine everything going through his mind
as he processes this whole day of events.
1529
01:55:40,648 --> 01:55:43,568
You do that again, you're done.
1530
01:56:09,635 --> 01:56:10,720
Let's play ball!
1531
01:56:21,439 --> 01:56:22,982
And this battle's gonna continue.
1532
01:56:23,066 --> 01:56:25,693
Hill could've taken his base,
but he's standing at home plate,
1533
01:56:25,777 --> 01:56:28,196
staring the bully in the face.
1534
01:56:28,279 --> 01:56:31,157
Hammer on the mound,
with an 0-2 pitch ready to be delivered.
1535
01:56:31,240 --> 01:56:32,283
Here it comes.
1536
01:56:32,367 --> 01:56:36,245
Swung on.
Hill smokes this ball to left center.
1537
01:56:38,039 --> 01:56:42,251
This ball is far,
and it is gone over the wall.
1538
01:56:42,335 --> 01:56:43,169
Can you believe it?
1539
01:56:43,252 --> 01:56:47,673
In the 11th at-bat, after getting hit,
Hill has hit a home run.
1540
01:56:47,757 --> 01:56:50,093
What a moment this must be for him.
1541
01:58:18,598 --> 01:58:20,850
I guess I'll have to get used to this.
1542
01:58:24,145 --> 01:58:26,564
God's not through working on both of us.
