| Summary |
Heartbreak and hope are as inextricably linked in professional baseball as hot dogs and scorecards. So much drama in major league baseball is derived from spectacular plays, crushing losses, defying the odds, and magical moments that live forever in the hearts and minds of devoted fans. What fans often forget is the relentless grind of the farm system-the minor leagues-where hundreds of college ballplayers must first prove their mettle before receiving that fateful call-up to the "bigs." This film captures the lives of four different Indianapolis Indians, the Triple-A farm team for the Milwaukee Brewers, during the 2001 season. |
