DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
"It's not just a sports documentary; it's a heartwarming human-interest story that shows it is possible to continue to enjoy the things we are passionate about well into our golden years.
As starting pitcher Mitch Garson says in the film, 'It's about friendships; and in-between the friendships you play a little ball.'"
