I saw the movie review for this at Roger Ebert’s site, and thought it looks really interesting:

Ebert has this to say about the film:

The film is knowledgeable about how the system works. American teams maintain elaborate Dominican training facilities, send talent scouts to local leagues and keep recruits under close watch: Room and board is provided, there are security guards to enforce discipline, the kids get a few days off once in a while. This is heaven for them. For years, their dreams have been filled with visions of big-time baseball.

Being in the Midwest, probably the only thing I’ll ever see of this film is the movie clip (at least until it comes out at Netflix). So I want to hear from some of you lucky ones living in big cities. Have you seen this film? What did you think? I’m already a bit antsy at the idea that “immigration” means sexual interaction with local blond woman–but maybe the film handles the whole thing well. Wouldn’t that be an oddity?
