Description

Dominic, a seventeen-year-old with a talented left hand baseball pitch, is tempted by the fantasy of his best friend, Ken: quit school, run away and join the Chicago Cubs. Soon, Dominic's Catholic faith and human goodness are tested against the lure of fame and easy bucks. It is his father's sacrifice that puts a different edge on Dominic's fantasies, restores his virtue and catapults him into maturity.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
