Living amidst the gritty poverty of 1957
Monterrey, Mexico, a rag-tag group of boys from the other
side of the tracks discovers the joy of sandlot baseball
under the guidance of Cesar, an aspiring Major League Coach
thwarted by discrimination. Armed with the dream of playing
a real Little League® game, the young team members defy a
total lack of resources, disapproving parents, and
widespread prejudice to score their first Little League®
victory on U.S. soil and find themselves at the beginning of
a once-in-a-lifetime journey. Relying on their religious
faith, a warm-hearted priest and their love of the game, the
nine players and their coach embark on an incredible,
record-breaking winning streak that leads them across the
border to southern Texas, and all the way to the 1957 Little
League® World Series in Williamsport, PA, where a miracle
will cement their place in history and change their lives
forever.
Based on the extraordinary true story of the 1957 Monterrey
Industrials Little League® team, THE PERFECT GAME is an
inspiring and heartwarming tale of faith and a testament to
the resilience of the human spirit in the face of
overwhelming odds.
