The Perfect Game

I normally do not post about movies, but there are exceptions!  Tonight we watched The Perfect Game (Amazon Prime), a wonderful film about an underdog team in the 1957 Little League World Series.  Based on a real events (and quite accurate, from what I can tell), it is an engaging story of a young, small group of boys overcoming considerable odds.  Family friendly, it handles bigotry in a healthy manner, as well as displaying conviction of faith, the church in a positive light, and father-son reconciliation.

For more historical background, see www.smithsonianmag.org.

Enjoy!
