Perfect Game, The

A feel-good, family-oriented, inspiring, factually based, cameo-studded (Frances Fisher and Bruce McGill) 2009 film about a former towel boy (Clifton Collins, Jr.) for the St. Louis Cardinals who ends up coaching talented, hardworking members (Moises Arias, Jake T. Austin, Gabriel Morales, Alfredo RodrÃguez, Ryan Ochoa, Carlo Padilla, Anthony Quinonez, Jansen Panettiere, and Mario Quinonez, Jr.) of a motley team of Mexican baseball players who are poor in money, but rich in spirit in Monterey, Mexico, and takes them to America in 1957 to play other little league baseball teams with the help of a priest (Cheech Marin), a moxie journalist (Emilie de Ravin), and an African-American groundskeeper (Louis Gossett, Jr.) and surprise themselves and 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.
