I never knew I had an arm until this guy called out, Hey you want to try and get a ball in the hole, sonny? I was only nine, but mom said, come on, let s play. This Carney guy with no teeth and a fuming cigarette hands me five blue rubber balls and says if I throw three in the hole we win a prize. He s grinning, because he took mom s five bucks and figures a sucker is born every minute. That really got me, because we didn t have any money after Fernando took off, and he only comes back to beat up mom and steal our money. So I really wanted to get mom back something, you know, for her five bucks.
A boy with a golden arm but no money for lessons. A mother who wants to give her son his dream before she dies. A broken down World Series pitcher who cannot go on after the death of his wife. These are the elements of "The Pitcher." A story of a man at the end of his dream and a boy whose dream is to make his high school baseball team. In the tradition of "The Natura"l and "The Field of Dreams," this is a mythic story about how a man and a boy meet in the crossroads of their life and find a way to go on. You will laugh and you will cry as "The Pitcher" and Ricky prepare for the ultimate try out of life."
