0:00:34 > 0:00:38'There's a story told in the town of Big Lake, Texas -
0:00:38 > 0:00:41'a story of the town's beginnings.
0:00:41 > 0:00:46'It's the story of the Santa Rita Number One, birthplace of West Texas Oil.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49'Now, as with most Texas legends,
0:00:49 > 0:00:54'there was a man who thought oil was right beneath his feet.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56'And, as with most such stories,
0:00:56 > 0:00:59'no-one else believed him.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05'Except, in this case, for two nuns
0:01:05 > 0:01:07'who, in 1923,
0:01:07 > 0:01:12'met the man and believed so much in him and his dream
0:01:12 > 0:01:16'that they invested money no-one knew they had.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28'Now, when the nuns told their parish priest about the man's dream
0:01:28 > 0:01:31'and their investment in it,
0:01:31 > 0:01:35'he counselled them to try and get their money back.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37'Sheepishly, they admitted
0:01:37 > 0:01:41'that it was too late, that the money was already spent.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45'Well, the priest, he sighed, shook his head
0:01:45 > 0:01:49'and offered just one, small bit of advice.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53'"Bless the site with rose petals
0:01:53 > 0:01:55'"and invoke the help
0:01:55 > 0:02:01'"of St Rita, patron saint of impossible dreams."
0:02:10 > 0:02:15'And while the workers waited for the oil that would eventually come,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17'they played baseball.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22'They played baseball so well that some were able
0:02:22 > 0:02:27'to give up the dirt and the despair and went on to play Major League ball
0:02:27 > 0:02:30'in the glory days of Ruth and Gehrig.'
0:02:30 > 0:02:33MEN'S VOICES
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Come on!
0:03:07 > 0:03:12'I've heard and told that story on many occasions.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16'But that was long before St Rita decided to bless our little town
0:03:16 > 0:03:18'just one more time.'
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Yeah!
0:03:29 > 0:03:31First game in the big leagues,
0:03:31 > 0:03:34and Jimmy Morris has a no-hitter going.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Jimmy! Don't throw so hard - my hands are cold.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51- What are you doing? - Waiting until spring!
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Jimmy! Your father and I need to talk to you.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00I hear Virginia's real nice.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04At least, that's what the Navy folks told your father.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08- Isn't that right, Jim? - We'll just be moving again.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11It's my job to decide when we move.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15- It's your job to make the best of it. - Jim, please.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Who knows? Maybe it won't snow so much in Virginia!
0:04:20 > 0:04:22'Jimmy Morris...'
0:04:22 > 0:04:25another masterful pitching performance.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31- Hey!- Jimmy.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- MAN: Hey, partner! How ya doin'? - Hey.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Hey, Dad.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Jimmy.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Hmm?
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- I had a good game. 13 strike outs. - Did you win?
0:06:15 > 0:06:19I just found out there's a chance we may be re-stationed again.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25- How much of a chance? - It's in west Texas. The Navy wants me to be a recruiter there.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- Texas? When?- Three weeks.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- But we've still got half our season to play.- I'm aware of that.
0:06:34 > 0:06:39- Maybe I can stay with the Johnsons. - Uh-uh. We move as a family.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49I don't have a choice in this.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57What kind of baseball do they have?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59They don't.
0:07:01 > 0:07:06I hear they might be starting some summer ball.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Yes, sir.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17DOOR SLAMS
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- What are those things?- What?
0:07:35 > 0:07:42- The things moving up and down. - Oil rigs. When they're moving up and down, it means times are good.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Looks like times are good.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09MACHINERY GROANS AND CLANKS
0:08:26 > 0:08:31Shoot! We must've left some of them back in Florida.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- Left what?- I packed a couple of boxes with socks and things.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I could've sworn... Jimmy, did you find that one box?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Oh, no!
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- It's OK, Mom.- Don't worry, honey.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44We'll find it.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51- I've never known a boy get so upset about losing his socks. - His glove was in there.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- What?- His GLOVE was in there.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Oh, quit moping and grab a box!
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Did you hear me?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05There are more important things in life than baseball.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08The sooner you figure that out, the better.

0:09:39 > 0:09:45..I guarantee you within two years, three years, tops, he's going to run that company
0:09:45 > 0:09:49right out of business. Ain't that right, young man?
0:09:52 > 0:09:53Eileen?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Eilee-een!
0:09:57 > 0:09:59I guess she's gone to lunch.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- Help you find something, son?- Socks.
0:10:07 > 0:10:13Socks we have. In contrast to common sense, which we seem to be running short on today.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17I'll be right down. ..Don't look at my dominoes.
0:10:17 > 0:10:22We've got white socks with red stripes, black stripes, blue stripes.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27Over there you've got your solids - black, blue, brown and grey. Just take your pick.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31That's a real nice pair, right there. You visiting?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33We just moved here.
0:10:33 > 0:10:38- Oh! Well, then, I'm Henry Sampson. - Nice to meet you. Jimmy Morris.

0:10:59 > 0:11:05You know, son, I can probably tell you where it is a whole lot quicker than you can find it.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Got any baseball stuff?
0:11:11 > 0:11:16Ah - baseball stuff. Don't get much call for baseball stuff round these parts.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20Now, if it was football, it'd be a whole different story.
0:11:24 > 0:11:29You know what? I've got a catalogue that might help us out. Let's take a look.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Yeah - I think we might find something in here.
0:11:38 > 0:11:44You know, if you're interested in baseball, there's a story that people here in this town tell
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- you ought to hear.- You said nobody cared about baseball.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Oh...they care about this.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55It all started with a couple of nuns
0:11:55 > 0:11:58and a piece of ground not too far from here.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49SCUFFING
0:13:32 > 0:13:34HINGES CREAK

0:14:33 > 0:14:38- going to bring the kids in?- Maybe. - Don't these families have enough to worry about?- Mmm.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- Coach.- Counsellor.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- Don't report that, Esther. - I never do.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55"Sum" means that we're adding. We have at least two items.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59Don't make this hard. What are we adding here? Protons and...?
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- Neutrons?- Neutrons.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Neutrons! So, David...
0:15:04 > 0:15:09these protons and neutrons are inside of...
0:15:09 > 0:15:10what?
0:15:10 > 0:15:12The...nucleus?
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Don't say it like a question, son. Just say it like you know it.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- The nucleus. - That's right - the nucleus.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Congratulations. Go home tonight
0:15:21 > 0:15:25and tell your parents you figured out the mass number of an atom.
0:15:25 > 0:15:31- # Chestnuts roasting on an open... # - Frank, isn't it a little late to be playing this song?- It's 8.30.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35- It's March.- That song's too good to play for only one month.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- Partner, you want cheese on that? - Yes, sir.
0:15:37 > 0:15:42- Besides, he smoked three packs a day.- Who?- Nat King Cole -
0:15:42 > 0:15:46- to make his voice deeper. - And Frank Sinatra was a poster child for vocal care(!)
0:15:46 > 0:15:53- Who died in his 40s? You take care of yourself, things work out.- Oh, is that right? What about Jimmy?
0:15:53 > 0:15:57He took real good care of himself. How many surgeries was it, Jimmy?
0:15:57 > 0:16:01- Four?- They put this thing from his ankle up to his shoulder.- Ow!
0:16:01 > 0:16:04We're talking about singin', not pitchin'.
0:16:04 > 0:16:10- Hunter, do us all a favour - don't tell us that bit about the ankle any more.- Mel Torme in June.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14- What are you talking about now? - Mel Torme wrote that song on a beach.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17There weren't no Jack Frost nipping his nose that day.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24- Daddy?- Yeah?
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Does your arm ever hurt any more?
0:16:25 > 0:16:30Only when I have to drag you out of bed in the morning for school.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33I'm just kidding. It hasn't hurt in a long time.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35How long?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Why do you want to know?
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Just wondering.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Well, let's see. Er...
0:16:44 > 0:16:49It never hurt when I was in high school, cos we didn't have a baseball team.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54And it never hurt when I was in junior college, cos that's why I got drafted.
0:16:54 > 0:16:59And then, er...I don't know. It just started hurting.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Is that why you didn't make it?
0:17:08 > 0:17:10It's never one thing.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24CLANG!
0:17:25 > 0:17:27CLANG!

0:17:57 > 0:17:59HE GROWLS
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- CRYING CONTINUES - I'll get her.
0:18:06 > 0:18:12Is that a real "I'll get her"? Or are you just waiting for me to say, "Go back to sleep"?
0:18:12 > 0:18:14I haven't decided yet.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Go back to sleep.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21CRYING REDOUBLES
0:18:21 > 0:18:22O-o-oh!
0:18:22 > 0:18:24O-o-oh!

0:18:26 > 0:18:28What's all that crying about?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32I think it's my turn.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35It's your turn to sleep.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38OK.
0:18:39 > 0:18:40You sure?
0:18:41 > 0:18:42Yeah.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49- There we are.- Good night.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Night.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56There we go.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Ssh.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02Mmm.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10(There we go.)
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Rudy, when was the last game you had? >
0:19:26 > 0:19:31- Like, a year ago?- Not me, man. - Come on, man! You're kidding me!
0:19:31 > 0:19:35- You, too, Rudy. Don't be laughing! - All set, Coach.- Gimme a ball.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Hey, Coach! I forgot my glove.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Check the bag.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44- Ten players - nine gloves.- Yeah.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49- How do they look?- Couple of holes. - Right, get in line.- Thanks, man.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55Hey, Coach! They putting down any grass seed in the field this year?
0:19:55 > 0:19:59- Man, it's a gold track out here. - Just waiting for the seed to take.
0:19:59 > 0:20:00What seed?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- Ain't no seed out here, man.- Wack!
0:20:05 > 0:20:09How come we get dirt and the football field is like Tiger Woods' back yard?
0:20:09 > 0:20:15- They don't even play for six months! - Just let me worry about the field. - You plan on worrying any time soon?
0:20:15 > 0:20:19OK, Wack. You can get your running done early today.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21OK, I'll get my running in early.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26OK - bring it home!
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Hey, Coach. You want to throw?
0:20:35 > 0:20:39You know, I seen you out there at the old field at night.
0:20:39 > 0:20:44Sometimes, it helps when you throw to have somebody catching for you.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47A ball, a glove - that kind of thing.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50I'll throw a couple.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Really?
0:20:53 > 0:20:55All right!
0:21:00 > 0:21:03How come you throw out there all by yourself?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Helps me relax.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09You know, I been doing it a pretty long time.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18- Coach, back when you were really throwing, how fast were you bringing it?- I dunno.
0:21:19 > 0:21:2185. 86.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25- That's not bad.- Well, it is when the other guy's throwing 90.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Coach, come on - let's see you bring one.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Can't. I promised too many doctors.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Come on, Coach - one is not going to kill you.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42- Now, come on - feed me. - Yeah, Dad, bring the heat!
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Feed me.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55WHUMP!
0:21:57 > 0:22:01- Wow!- Coach... where did that come from?
0:22:01 > 0:22:04I forgot how good that sounded.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08Yes!
0:22:44 > 0:22:45Unbelievable!
0:22:48 > 0:22:52- How fast do you think those were coming?- Not as fast as you think.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57Hey, do me a favour, all right? Let's keep this between you and me.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59- OK.- I could barely see that last one.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03- That goes for you, too, all right? No telling Mom.- Why?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Because I said so.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19Night, Ray.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22I know why your grass isn't growin'.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Usually get three or four out here every night.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39I put the seed down - they pick it up.
0:23:39 > 0:23:45Once it comes in, they don't like it as much. That's why the football field looks so good.
0:23:46 > 0:23:52Yeah? Maybe those football guys are paying off these deer with all that big-budget money they got.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57HEY!
0:23:57 > 0:23:58GO ON!
0:23:58 > 0:24:00GET OUTTA HERE!
0:24:04 > 0:24:07I thought deer are supposed to be skittish.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15- ROMANTIC SONG PLAYS SOFTLY - Need me to top that off?
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Nothing like wine bought with a Chevron credit card.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24- Well, I know what a demanding consumer you can be.- Yeah?- Mmm.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35I threw today.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40To Joel, after practice.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- You threw?- I threw.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45How hard?
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Pretty hard.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00Uh...don't worry. If it starts to hurt, I'll stop.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02All right? Promise.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06I got to check on the kids.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15I got the muffler changed, buddy, on the Jeep.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18You can't hear me coming from miles away.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22- Ray! Check out the screw ball. - Katy's lovin' the Jeep!
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Come on, man.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30All right, bring it in for some BP.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- We can't. Rudy's not here. - Where is he?- Locker room.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Something about only having one shoe.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Somebody grab a bat.
0:25:41 > 0:25:46- You're throwing batting practice? - Yeah.- I'm up first, man.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48- I am next.- I hit the Lotto!
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Come on, Wack! Send it, baby!
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Send it! What do you say, Wack?
0:26:01 > 0:26:05Whoooo! Looks like that one's going to land in another time zone, Coach.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09Reset your watch before this next one. See that?
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Yes.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15(Come on.)
0:26:19 > 0:26:20Yeah!
0:26:20 > 0:26:22WACK LAUGHS
0:26:32 > 0:26:33What was that?!
0:26:34 > 0:26:38- Man!- Wait till he warms up.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45- Let's see another one of those.- No. It's batting practice, not pitching practice.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49All right.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Oh, my God!
0:26:52 > 0:26:58- I'm already down two bits. - How many job applications you planning on sending out, Jimmy?
0:26:58 > 0:27:05- As many as it takes, I guess.- So the little boy coming in to my store to buy socks after a dozen moves
0:27:05 > 0:27:08is planning on a move of his own now?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10This is different.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12It always is.
0:27:12 > 0:27:17- I hear you diagnosed the problem with your baseball field. - His POTENTIAL field.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- It's the curing part I'm having trouble with.- I'll take five.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- I had the same trouble a few springs back.- You did?
0:27:24 > 0:27:28- What did you do?- Oh, hell! Give me five, too.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32How many games you got on that field the next couple of weeks?
0:27:32 > 0:27:36We play next Friday, but then we're not back till the end of the month.
0:27:36 > 0:27:42Can you keep your boys off the field for that length of time? No practice - nothing whatsoever?
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Henry, I get the feeling this is something I don't want to know about.
0:27:48 > 0:27:53- I'll take back two of them old ones, if that's OK.- Here's what you do.
0:27:53 > 0:27:58You give me three weeks, and I'll have that field looking greener than Dublin on St Paddy's Day.
0:27:58 > 0:28:0150 cents, fellas.
0:28:02 > 0:28:08- OVER TANNOY:- Rudy Bonilla, hoping to spark a Big Lake rally. - Come on, Rudy!
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Be a hitter!
0:28:15 > 0:28:20- Strike three.- Strike three and the Owls drop their season opener.
0:28:21 > 0:28:26- It's all right. Good effort. Only one.- If we don't start hitting, it won't be the only one.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30- OVER TANNOY:- Drive safely on your way home, now, folks.

0:29:28 > 0:29:30ten.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35- It's not your day, Rudy. - Not my year.
0:29:37 > 0:29:42Looks like Coach Jimmy Morris is making a pitching change.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46< Shake it off, Rudy!
0:29:50 > 0:29:54Just a reminder, folks, the concession stand is still open.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04Anybody want to tell me how we lost that game? Hmm?
0:30:05 > 0:30:07No?
0:30:07 > 0:30:12How about taking a look at the numbers on that scoreboard there?
0:30:12 > 0:30:15What do those numbers tell you?
0:30:16 > 0:30:19How to get hold of Bo's Tire Barn?
0:30:23 > 0:30:25You quit.
0:30:27 > 0:30:33You quit out there. You quit on me and, worse, you quit on yourselves.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37You think people don't care about baseball around here?
0:30:37 > 0:30:41Think the school's going to drop the programme?
0:30:41 > 0:30:44You're just making it easy for 'em.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47The sad part is, I see it and you don't.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Look, guys,
0:30:52 > 0:30:57most of you...you're going to finish up school here, you're going to work the rigs,
0:30:57 > 0:31:03you're going to work at Bo's Tire Barn, raise a family, retire, and do all that right here in Big Lake.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06And there's nothing wrong with that.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10A lot of real good people have done that. I'm doin' it.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14But if you're looking for something more after you're done here,
0:31:14 > 0:31:20you'd better give some serious thought as to how you're going to play out the rest of this season.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22What difference does it make?
0:31:22 > 0:31:25It's not like any of us are getting scholarships.
0:31:26 > 0:31:31I'm not talking about college. I'm talking about wanting things in life.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35I'm talking about having dreams.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38And all that starts right here.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Here. OK? Right here.
0:31:42 > 0:31:47- Without dreams, you don't have anything.- Coach, what about you?
0:31:47 > 0:31:49I mean, you talk about OUR dreams.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53- I...I've been catching...- Joel, we are not talking about me.
0:31:53 > 0:31:58Come on, Coach. Every time you throw, I've got to ice my hand. Every time.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03You're the one who should be wanting something more.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07And the sad part is, I mean... we see it and you don't.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12No, I've had my shot, all right? Just...
0:32:13 > 0:32:15Look...we got practice tomorrow.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19- Let's go.- So you take another shot.
0:32:19 > 0:32:25- It doesn't work like that.- It does if you throw hard enough.- I don't throw hard enough, all right?
0:32:25 > 0:32:30- Hit the showers.- Wait a minute. We start winning, you try out again.
0:32:34 > 0:32:40- Last time I checked, scouts aren't looking for high school science teachers.- Not many science teachers
0:32:40 > 0:32:43- throw like you.- Yeah.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45- No kidding. - Yeah. - No lie.
0:32:46 > 0:32:52- Take a heck of a lot more than a couple of wins to get me to make a fool of myself.- All right.
0:32:52 > 0:32:58What if we win district, huh? What if we win district and go to state playoffs. Then?
0:33:01 > 0:33:04- You're serious?- Yeah, absolutely.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07- You're serious.- Yes.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Yeah.
0:33:11 > 0:33:16- All I have to do is find some kind of tryout somewhere?- That's it, man.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19- HE CLEARS HIS THROAT - All right.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21ALL TALK AT ONCE
0:33:21 > 0:33:23- You win district.- Yeah.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25- We can do this.- Right on, man!
0:33:25 > 0:33:28THEY ALL TALK EXCITEDLY
0:33:33 > 0:33:36I don't got to tell Mom about this, do I?
0:34:00 > 0:34:05# I got an old blue shirt and it suits me just fine
0:34:06 > 0:34:11# I like the way it feels so I wear it all the time
0:34:12 > 0:34:17# I got an old guitar won't ever stay in tune
0:34:19 > 0:34:21# I like the way it sounds
0:34:21 > 0:34:24# In a dark and empty room
0:34:24 > 0:34:29# I got an old pair of boots and they fit just right... #
0:34:29 > 0:34:30Hmm.
0:34:32 > 0:34:37# ..Well, I can work all day and I can dance all night
0:34:37 > 0:34:39# I got an old used car
0:34:39 > 0:34:42# And it runs just like a top
0:34:44 > 0:34:49# I get the feeling it ain't ever going to stop
0:34:50 > 0:34:52# Stuff that works
0:34:52 > 0:34:55# Stuff that holds up
0:34:57 > 0:35:01# The kind of stuff you don't hang on the wall
0:35:02 > 0:35:05# Stuff that's real
0:35:05 > 0:35:07# Stuff you feel
0:35:10 > 0:35:14# The kind of stuff you reach for when you fall

0:36:36 > 0:36:39'Are you sure about this, Henry?'
0:36:39 > 0:36:41Yeah. Deer get a whiff of human hair,
0:36:41 > 0:36:45they just keep on movin' till they don't smell it no more.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47I figure we put us a circle
0:36:47 > 0:36:52- all the way around the field here. - That's a lot of hair!
0:36:52 > 0:36:55Well, from the looks of things, contrary to popular opinion,
0:36:55 > 0:36:59Cal ain't been cheatin' nobody down there at his shop.
0:36:59 > 0:37:00THEY LAUGH

0:37:22 > 0:37:24We're going to have a baseball field.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28DOORBELL DING-DONGS
0:37:28 > 0:37:32- Maybe he's not home. - But he said he'd be here.
0:37:37 > 0:37:44- Hey, Grandpa!- Hunter! I was reading in the paper today that someone in your family is having a birthday.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48- That's a kid joke, Grandpa. - Kid joke? No kidding?
0:37:51 > 0:37:52- Jimmy.- Sir.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04Wow!
0:38:05 > 0:38:09- It's kinda big.- Oh, you'll grow into it faster than you think.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13Look, Dad - it doesn't have any fingers.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16That's cos it's a first baseman's mitt.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Er...is that wrong?
0:38:21 > 0:38:25Well, you know, I've probably got the receipt somewhere...
0:38:25 > 0:38:28We can get another one, one with fingers.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32That's OK, Grandpa. I like first base.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38- Could I go outside and play, Dad? - Er...yeah.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41What do you say first?
0:38:41 > 0:38:45- Thank you, Grandpa. I really like it a lot.- Oh, oh...
0:38:52 > 0:38:57- Stay in the yard.- If he decides he wants one with fingers...
0:38:57 > 0:38:59I'll take care of it.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14I didn't know you had these.
0:39:16 > 0:39:17Oh, yeah.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Your mother gave me a few.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Mmm.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24She'd be the one to have 'em.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36# Happy birthday to you
0:39:36 > 0:39:40# Happy birthday to you
0:39:40 > 0:39:45# Happy birthday, dear Hunter

0:39:51 > 0:39:55- Jessica!- Don't worry. Your wish still counts.
0:39:55 > 0:40:00Charles! Do you think that ice cream machine is going to start spinning itself?

0:40:05 > 0:40:08I think we need plates, hon, too!
0:40:13 > 0:40:19- Seems like five minutes ago I was watching you blow out those candles. - Are you trying to make me feel old?
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Come talk to me in 20 years!
0:40:23 > 0:40:27Hunter said you spent some time at your father's today.
0:40:27 > 0:40:28Yeah.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32- You know where I'm going with that. - Yes, ma'am, I do.
0:40:32 > 0:40:37Lorri says he's trying real hard to be a good grandfather.
0:40:37 > 0:40:42- Yeah, well...- Jimmy, I swear the one thing you got from him is his stubborn side.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44- That's not true. - SHE SIGHS
0:40:44 > 0:40:48Well, what do you want me to do? Pretend everything was perfect?
0:40:48 > 0:40:53You've been blaming your father for too many things for too many years.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57I just call 'em like I see 'em, Mom.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01You can sell that story someplace else. I ain't buyin'.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05You got your shot at baseball. You got hurt.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09Simple as that. It had nothing to do with your father.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13You think he didn't have dreams?
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Is that why it didn't work out with you two?
0:41:17 > 0:41:21I'm going to need a longer street for THAT talk.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27'OK, let's get to.'
0:41:29 > 0:41:32- Come on, Wack! - How long we got to practise here?
0:41:32 > 0:41:37- A couple more days. - Getting old out here, Coach! - Playing in a gravel yard.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41OK, Wack, come on in for batting practice.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43This is not a ball field!
0:41:45 > 0:41:47- Come on, let's go.- OK, OK.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56OK.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Nice, easy swings.

0:42:00 > 0:42:03Throw your hands at the ball.
0:42:05 > 0:42:10Come on, Coach. If we're going to start winning, we need to see some better pitching.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12- You going to help us or not? - Right here, Coach.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Show us some action!
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Come on, Wack! >

1:03:16 > 1:03:19# ..I've got a picture in the back of my mind
1:03:19 > 1:03:22# Of what I've lost and what I've won
1:03:22 > 1:03:28# I've survived every situation knowing when to freeze and when to run
1:03:28 > 1:03:34# And regret is just a memory written on my brow
1:03:34 > 1:03:39# And there's nothin' I can do about it now

1:07:51 > 1:07:54- Oh, come on.- You got 'em talking.

1:07:58 > 1:08:00That was Jessica.
1:08:03 > 1:08:04Jim. >
1:08:06 > 1:08:09How fast were you throwing 15 years ago?
1:08:11 > 1:08:14Slow enough the scouts stopped using the word "fast".
1:08:14 > 1:08:16How fast were you throwing?
1:08:16 > 1:08:20I don't know... 85, 86? Why?
1:08:20 > 1:08:22You just threw 98 miles an hour.
1:08:24 > 1:08:25- Nah!- A dozen straight pitches.
1:08:25 > 1:08:29Three radar guns, same thing on all of them.
1:08:29 > 1:08:32Nah, they...there's no way...
1:08:32 > 1:08:36I've been a scout a long time and rule number one is arms slow down when they get old.
1:08:36 > 1:08:40Listen, Jim, I call the office and tell them I got a guy here,
1:08:40 > 1:08:43almost twice these kids' age, I'm going to get laughed at.
1:08:43 > 1:08:46But if I don't call in a 98mph fast ball, I'm going to get fired.
1:08:46 > 1:08:49I'm just letting you know that you might get a call on this.
1:08:54 > 1:08:59You figure out what I saw out there today, you let me know. OK?
1:08:59 > 1:09:00OK.
1:09:31 > 1:09:32ANSAPHONE BEEPS

1:09:41 > 1:09:42BEEP
1:09:42 > 1:09:47'Jim, Mark Dreyfuss from the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Dave Patterson told me about this afternoon.
1:09:47 > 1:09:50- 'I'll try you in the morning.' - BEEP
1:09:50 > 1:09:54'Hey, Jim, this is Dave. Listen, we're going to have you throw
1:09:54 > 1:09:57again in a couple of days just to make sure.'
1:10:02 > 1:10:04Mommy!
1:10:09 > 1:10:12Daddy told me to give you a pizza and not say anything else.
1:10:13 > 1:10:16Thank you, sweetpea.
1:10:16 > 1:10:19I'm sure that's exactly what he told you.

1:10:21 > 1:10:23All right. Go ahead.
1:10:25 > 1:10:30- There were, like, a thousand players, it was so hot and Daddy was pitching really hard.- Oh, yeah?
1:10:30 > 1:10:35- And it was really hot, but it was fun.- Yeah.- I got my nose burnt.
1:10:35 > 1:10:37Hm.
1:10:37 > 1:10:40The guy thought that the damn radar gun was broken.
1:10:40 > 1:10:45Do you know how many guys can throw the ball 98 miles an hour?
1:10:45 > 1:10:46Not many.
1:10:46 > 1:10:49You can count 'em on one hand. I still don't believe it.
1:10:49 > 1:10:54- Those are Major League scouts on our message machine.- I know.
1:10:54 > 1:10:55It's great.
1:10:58 > 1:11:01Um, listen, why didn't you tell me about all this?
1:11:01 > 1:11:04- Well, I just...thought you'd laugh at me.- Oh, come on!
1:11:04 > 1:11:09It was just...this thing to get the kids to start playing.
1:11:09 > 1:11:12I thought I'd just go there, throw a few pitches and be done with it.
1:11:20 > 1:11:22So, you considering this?
1:11:22 > 1:11:24I...I don't know.
1:11:27 > 1:11:30I-I don't know. I...
1:11:30 > 1:11:32I have never thrown that hard before.
1:11:36 > 1:11:39- What?- Mm?
1:11:41 > 1:11:43You don't seem too excited.

1:15:05 > 1:15:09until it was time to start doing what you were meant to do.
1:15:11 > 1:15:13That may not be what you wanted to hear.
1:15:30 > 1:15:33- Good night, Jimmy.- 'Night.
1:15:49 > 1:15:52Sometimes I think he lies in bed at night just figuring out
1:15:52 > 1:15:55the one thing he can say that hurts the most.
1:15:55 > 1:16:00- I was this close to thinking he was going to give me some good advice. - Maybe he did.
1:16:00 > 1:16:03What?
1:16:03 > 1:16:05Oh, boy.
1:16:05 > 1:16:07Listen, Jimmy, I love you.
1:16:07 > 1:16:11Lord knows, I think it's great you going to the tryout.
1:16:11 > 1:16:17But I'm a little concerned that you might be losing sight of the fact you have a family who needs you
1:16:17 > 1:16:23- and a decent job waiting for you at Fort Worth.- I never said I was going to do this.- Jimmy, I know you.
1:16:23 > 1:16:29- I was hoping for a little more support.- So this didn't concern me or the kids(?)
1:16:29 > 1:16:33You can't eat dreams, Jimmy, and they don't pay for clothes or shoes or gas or babysitters.
1:16:33 > 1:16:37I do not want to be the bad guy but somebody has to be rational.
1:16:37 > 1:16:40That's all I've been my whole life.
1:16:40 > 1:16:41What about MY life?
1:16:41 > 1:16:44I was there too, remember?
1:16:44 > 1:16:49Every time you got hurt, I got a front-row seat to watch you shut yourself off from the world...
1:16:49 > 1:16:51and from me.
1:16:54 > 1:16:57Truth is, I was happy when you quit.
1:16:59 > 1:17:01Happy.
1:17:04 > 1:17:06Yeah.
1:17:06 > 1:17:09Because I don't want to see you get hurt again.
1:18:45 > 1:18:47Kids down?
1:18:47 > 1:18:49For a while at least.
1:18:51 > 1:18:54I'm sorry.
1:18:54 > 1:18:56Yeah.
1:18:56 > 1:18:58Me too.
1:18:58 > 1:19:01I've been thinking...
1:19:01 > 1:19:05- So have I. I think you should do this.- No.
1:19:05 > 1:19:08- You were right.- No. I don't think so.
1:19:14 > 1:19:17We've got an eight-year-old boy inside this house
1:19:17 > 1:19:23who waited all day in the sun to see his daddy try to do something that nobody believed he could do.
1:19:23 > 1:19:26And what are we telling him if...
1:19:28 > 1:19:30..if you don't try now?
1:19:40 > 1:19:42I can't leave you here with all this.
1:19:42 > 1:19:48Jimmy Morris, I'm a Texas woman which means I don't need the help of a man to keep things running.

1:22:16 > 1:22:17I'm the old guy.
1:22:25 > 1:22:29Do you use a walker or do the other players carry you?
1:22:35 > 1:22:37Welcome to last place.
1:22:40 > 1:22:43Hey, skipper, why not bring your dad to work?

1:24:07 > 1:24:10Oh, that's just great. Let me get the kids.

1:26:17 > 1:26:19- 16?- 16.
1:26:19 > 1:26:23You ought to be able to look at four times four and just know it's 16

1:26:54 > 1:26:56Oh, thank you, son.
1:26:57 > 1:27:01Hey, you. Jessie says they left you in one too many pitches.
1:27:01 > 1:27:04Jessie needs to learn how to keep a secret with her father.
1:27:04 > 1:27:06How are things going?
1:27:06 > 1:27:11- Things are good. There's a field trip on Friday and... - That's not what I meant.
