Storyline

Plot Summary

Based on a true story. In 1957 a ragtag, shoeless, poor group of kids from Monterrey, Mexico shocked the world by winning 13 games in a row and the Little League World Series in the only perfect game ever pitched in the Championship. Led by their priest and a down-and-out former major leaguer, these kids embark on a journey through the southern US and up into Williamsport, Pennsylvania for the Championship game. They encountered many adversities including nearly being deported and the bigotry that wouldn't allow them into certain restaurants or onto certain buses. They never lost their faith and eventually captured the hearts of both nations. This is a heart-warming inspirational story in the tradition of "Rudy", "Hoosiers", "Coach Carter" or "Friday Night Lights". Written by John Bradly

Goofs At the final game, the American flag shown has 50 stars. In 1957 (when the film takes place), Alaska and Hawaii were not yet states. They were granted statehood in 1959, so the flag shown should have had 48 stars. See more »
