1
00:01:45,338 --> 00:01:47,941
Roger, do you believe in heaven?
2
00:01:48,107 --> 00:01:51,444
I guess. That's where
they say my mom went.
3
00:01:51,578 --> 00:01:55,415
- Maybe that's where my dad went.
- Probably.
4
00:01:55,882 --> 00:02:00,520
Hey, maybe your mom
and my dad are friends up there.
5
00:02:00,587 --> 00:02:04,324
- That could be.
- 'Cause you're my best friend down here.
6
00:02:05,358 --> 00:02:08,228
You're my best friend
too, J.P.
7
00:02:23,243 --> 00:02:27,647
Roger, how come Maggie's house
is called a foster home?
8
00:02:27,747 --> 00:02:30,350
I don't know.
Maybe the first people who let
9
00:02:30,450 --> 00:02:32,819
other people's kids live with
them were named "Foster."
10
00:02:32,952 --> 00:02:38,157
Oh. So if we stay there a long time,
do we gotta change our name to Foster?
11
00:02:38,224 --> 00:02:40,994
- No way.
- Good.
12
00:02:41,094 --> 00:02:43,663
Besides, we're not gonna
be there a long time.
13
00:02:43,963 --> 00:02:47,567
- Really?
- Yeah, somethin' good's gonna happen.
14
00:02:48,401 --> 00:02:53,339
Yeah, somethin' good.
Maybe today, even. It could happen.
15
00:03:07,387 --> 00:03:09,989
The Angels, trying to
break a 14-game losing streak,
16
00:03:10,056 --> 00:03:13,760
face the Toronto Blue Jays here this
afternoon at Anaheim Stadium.
17
00:03:14,027 --> 00:03:16,229
Maggie, we're back.
18
00:03:18,631 --> 00:03:20,133
So, where ya been?
19
00:03:20,233 --> 00:03:23,803
Just ridin' around.
You said be back by 5:00.
20
00:03:27,607 --> 00:03:31,344
I can't tell time yet.
Are we back by 5:00?
21
00:03:31,544 --> 00:03:35,481
Close. Come on, J.P.,
get your bike in. Roger?
22
00:03:35,548 --> 00:03:39,419
- Yeah?
- You have a visitor. He's waiting inside for you.
23
00:03:39,485 --> 00:03:41,054
Is it...
24
00:03:48,661 --> 00:03:51,197
- Dad?
- Hey.
25
00:03:51,431 --> 00:03:54,767
- Dad!
- Surprised to see me?
26
00:03:57,170 --> 00:03:59,038
Yeah.
27
00:03:59,806 --> 00:04:04,677
You look kinda scrawny.
Don't they feed you enough in this place?
28
00:04:05,411 --> 00:04:07,013
Yeah.
29
00:04:07,714 --> 00:04:11,851
- Where you been? I was waitin'.
- Just ridin' around the stadium.
30
00:04:13,019 --> 00:04:15,888
- Angels still your team?
- Yeah.
31
00:04:16,155 --> 00:04:17,990
They're in last place.
32
00:04:20,893 --> 00:04:22,228
Yeah.
33
00:04:22,328 --> 00:04:23,996
Runs in the blood.
34
00:04:24,897 --> 00:04:27,166
Family that likes losers.
35
00:04:32,004 --> 00:04:35,375
So...
I came to say...
36
00:04:35,475 --> 00:04:37,443
that I'm goin' up north.
37
00:04:37,977 --> 00:04:41,414
I know I said when I came
it'd be to get you, but...
38
00:04:43,649 --> 00:04:45,852
things ain't workin' out that way.
39
00:04:52,458 --> 00:04:57,463
I did what I could with ya. Maybe if
your mom was alive it'd be different.
40
00:04:58,531 --> 00:05:01,367
I, uh... They had me sign
this thing, this paper.
41
00:05:01,501 --> 00:05:06,506
Some kind of release thing. Uh,
just gotta go to court to make it final.
42
00:05:09,208 --> 00:05:11,644
You understand
what I'm sayin', don't ya?
43
00:05:13,980 --> 00:05:15,782
Y-Yeah.
44
00:05:15,848 --> 00:05:18,151
Okay, I'm glad we got
that outta the way.
45
00:05:26,292 --> 00:05:27,960
Where's the pickup?
46
00:05:28,060 --> 00:05:32,198
I traded it in.
The bike's better for travelin'.
47
00:05:33,433 --> 00:05:36,869
Dad, when we gonna be
a family again?
48
00:05:39,172 --> 00:05:40,973
From where I'm sittin',
49
00:05:44,143 --> 00:05:46,579
I'd say when the Angels
win the pennant.
50
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,016
You stay outta trouble, son.
51
00:06:06,532 --> 00:06:09,836
Number 27, shortstop, Steve Acker.
52
00:06:09,969 --> 00:06:13,639
So with the Angels down by seven,
it's now one ball, two strikes to Acker,
53
00:06:13,773 --> 00:06:16,843
- the fourth batter to face Gates here in the eighth.
- Come on, strike him out!
54
00:06:16,943 --> 00:06:19,378
Yeah! Strike him out!
55
00:06:19,512 --> 00:06:22,081
And got Godchaux on a
pop-up to Mitchell at third.
56
00:06:22,181 --> 00:06:24,150
Burn it in there.
57
00:06:24,584 --> 00:06:26,986
Come on, Angels, let's stay in this.
58
00:06:27,086 --> 00:06:29,322
Gates takes the sign,
59
00:06:29,622 --> 00:06:33,059
checks the runner at first
and delivers.
60
00:06:34,727 --> 00:06:37,063
Acker lobs the ball high into left field.
61
00:06:37,230 --> 00:06:39,065
Gates, you stink!
62
00:06:40,233 --> 00:06:42,935
Norton and Williams
both going for the catch.
63
00:06:43,035 --> 00:06:45,805
- I-I got it. I got it.
- And this will be Ben Williams' call.
64
00:06:48,207 --> 00:06:52,712
And Williams and Norton collide
and the catch is blown!
65
00:06:53,045 --> 00:06:55,481
- Where's the ball? Uuh!
- Ooh!
66
00:06:55,982 --> 00:06:58,484
Boy, they're bad!
67
00:06:59,852 --> 00:07:02,154
- Ohh!
- And with another example...
68
00:07:02,321 --> 00:07:05,558
of his infamous temper,
manager George Knox calls time out.
69
00:07:05,691 --> 00:07:08,628
He will have a word
with his pitcher, Frank Gates.
70
00:07:08,728 --> 00:07:10,796
I don't think it's gonna be
a happy word.
71
00:07:10,930 --> 00:07:14,033
And it looks like Knox is
going to take Gates out.
72
00:07:14,166 --> 00:07:17,169
Gates doesn't look
too pleased about this.
73
00:07:17,637 --> 00:07:21,207
- Gimme the ball.
- It ain't my fault. You need a new outfield.
74
00:07:21,307 --> 00:07:23,242
You're outta here!
Give me the ball!
75
00:07:23,342 --> 00:07:26,712
You want the ball?
Here you go. Go get it!
76
00:07:26,812 --> 00:07:29,679
- Gates has thrown his ball and glove into the stands.
- My glove? Go get it!
77
00:07:29,749 --> 00:07:32,318
Go on, get outta here!
You're finished, Gates!
78
00:07:32,418 --> 00:07:34,554
- And Knox has attacked his own pitcher!
- Uh oh!
79
00:07:34,687 --> 00:07:37,023
Skip, Skip. Let 'em go, Skip.
80
00:07:38,190 --> 00:07:41,494
- You're washed up! You'll never pitch again!
- You're crazy, Knox!
81
00:07:41,627 --> 00:07:44,830
They're clearing the benches!
Now both teams are on the field.
82
00:07:44,964 --> 00:07:46,866
Hey! It's not our fight!
83
00:07:46,999 --> 00:07:49,835
- George Knox has created total chaos!
- Huh? What?
84
00:07:49,969 --> 00:07:52,538
- Hit him one for me, Gates!
- I can't find him!
85
00:07:52,672 --> 00:07:55,675
- You're crazy!
- You can't manage a team!
86
00:07:55,808 --> 00:08:01,113
This is outrageous!
George Knox fighting off his own players,
87
00:08:01,881 --> 00:08:03,649
Surprise, surprise.
88
00:08:03,749 --> 00:08:06,886
And they're trying to keep
Knox and Gates apart.
89
00:08:07,019 --> 00:08:09,021
You stink, Knox!
90
00:08:09,188 --> 00:08:11,524
Knox, you're outta here!
91
00:08:11,624 --> 00:08:13,993
Come on, ump, leave him in!
92
00:08:14,126 --> 00:08:16,462
Yeah!
Don't throw him out!
93
00:08:16,562 --> 00:08:19,532
- Hey! What are you kids doin' up there?
- Uh-oh!
94
00:08:19,665 --> 00:08:21,734
You better have tickets
for that tree!
95
00:08:21,867 --> 00:08:23,903
Game's over for us, J.P.
We gotta go!
96
00:08:24,036 --> 00:08:26,439
That's right, clear off!
Go on, get outta here!
97
00:08:26,706 --> 00:08:29,442
You heard me! Don't let me catch
you twerps around here again!
98
00:08:29,542 --> 00:08:31,877
- You kickin' me out? That's good!
- Yes, I'm kicking you out!
99
00:08:32,011 --> 00:08:33,579
- 'Cause you been stinkin' up the calls all day!
- You're gone!
100
00:08:33,730 --> 00:08:36,983
You can't kick me out 'cause I'm leavin'.
You get that? I'm outta here!
101
00:08:37,116 --> 00:08:42,521
And Knox will watch the rest of the game...
in the locker room.
102
00:08:43,155 --> 00:08:46,592
Murphy's out of his mind
to put up with this nonsense.
103
00:08:46,692 --> 00:08:49,895
- You think you can do any better?
- Blindfolded.
104
00:08:50,029 --> 00:08:52,732
Well, when you were managing, boy,
you had a lot of trouble. I remember...
105
00:08:52,865 --> 00:08:56,469
Zip it, pal. You have to ask
yourself, what is goin' on...
106
00:08:56,569 --> 00:08:59,572
with this team, and how long
will owner Hank Murphy put up...
107
00:08:59,705 --> 00:09:01,507
with this kind of behavior
from his manager.
108
00:09:01,641 --> 00:09:06,045
I thought I'd seen it all, ladies and gentlemen,
but with George Knox calling the shots,
109
00:09:06,178 --> 00:09:07,613
you never know what will happen.
110
00:09:07,747 --> 00:09:09,982
Careful, J.P.
Let's go!
111
00:09:16,789 --> 00:09:20,626
- Why do you idiots do that after we've lost?
- It's for good luck, man.
112
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,529
After 15 straight losses,
I say we find somethin' else to rub.
113
00:09:23,663 --> 00:09:26,098
- Like Triscuit's head.
- Don't even think about touchin' me... anywhere.
114
00:09:26,198 --> 00:09:29,536
- Fatty pants.
- Maybe we should do this before we lose.
115
00:09:30,136 --> 00:09:33,439
Aw, not again! They got
the wrong kind of salami!
116
00:09:33,973 --> 00:09:37,276
- It was nice of Knox to let you play.
- Hey, I can hit it. You gotta,
117
00:09:37,410 --> 00:09:40,446
you gotta choke up and bear down,
then you'll get your homer.
118
00:09:42,314 --> 00:09:44,817
- Hey, how's the arm?
- It's feelin' strong.
119
00:09:44,917 --> 00:09:47,119
You'll be pitchin' no-hitters
any day now.
120
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,956
♪ We are the boys of summer
and it's a big bummer ♪
121
00:09:51,090 --> 00:09:54,160
♪ No matter who we play
we give the game away ♪
122
00:09:54,293 --> 00:09:57,797
♪ 'Cause we can't win
that would be a sin ♪
123
00:09:57,930 --> 00:10:01,967
- ♪ We even lose the games before they begin ♪
- Save it, Mapel!
124
00:10:15,781 --> 00:10:17,883
- Bummer.
- One more loss!
125
00:10:18,017 --> 00:10:20,786
One more loss
which could have been a win!
126
00:10:20,953 --> 00:10:23,422
You call yourselves professionals.
127
00:10:23,522 --> 00:10:28,027
I have never seen a worse
group of 25 players!
128
00:10:28,127 --> 00:10:33,933
You don't think as a team, you don't play
as a team, you don't even lose as a team!
129
00:10:34,066 --> 00:10:36,936
You all got your heads
so far up your butts...
130
00:10:37,069 --> 00:10:39,538
you can't even see the light of day!
131
00:10:40,072 --> 00:10:46,545
One more loss and I'll, and I'll do this!
Aah! To each and every one of you!
132
00:10:46,846 --> 00:10:48,280
Ho-ho-ho!
133
00:10:48,414 --> 00:10:52,618
I want you here, in uniform,
at 9:00 tomorrow.
134
00:10:52,752 --> 00:10:55,254
We're going back to work
on fundamentals!
135
00:10:55,354 --> 00:10:57,757
Fundamentals?
In the middle of the season?
136
00:10:57,857 --> 00:11:00,326
I thought the game started at 1:00.
137
00:11:00,626 --> 00:11:04,897
It does start at 1:00.
And you're a jackass!
138
00:11:04,997 --> 00:11:06,699
No, I'm a pitcher.
139
00:11:06,866 --> 00:11:10,136
- I think you're a pitcher and jackass.
- Si. It's very common.
140
00:11:10,236 --> 00:11:11,904
Oh.
141
00:11:18,978 --> 00:11:20,946
Tough loss, George.
142
00:11:22,114 --> 00:11:25,484
I can't take it anymore.
You have to start trading 'em.
143
00:11:25,618 --> 00:11:27,219
All of them, now.
144
00:11:27,353 --> 00:11:32,858
- I can't trade 25 players.
- I can't win with these guys. Nobody can.
145
00:11:32,958 --> 00:11:36,762
There's a thing called talent.
They don't have it.
146
00:11:36,862 --> 00:11:39,198
This isn't Cincinnati, George.
147
00:11:39,331 --> 00:11:42,368
No one expects you
to win big with these boys.
148
00:11:42,501 --> 00:11:47,406
I came here to manage a
winning baseball team.
149
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:50,943
You just hang on, partner.
You'll ride through the dark days.
150
00:11:51,043 --> 00:11:53,746
Mr. Knox, we're waiting on the field.
151
00:11:53,979 --> 00:11:56,015
We're waiting.
152
00:11:58,951 --> 00:12:00,052
What's that?
153
00:12:00,186 --> 00:12:02,788
David Montagne, administrative
assistant for media relations.
154
00:12:02,888 --> 00:12:06,659
You're scheduled to do Ranch Wilder's
postgame show here, and he's been waiting.
155
00:12:06,792 --> 00:12:09,261
The press are all scum.
They're meant to be kept waiting.
156
00:12:09,395 --> 00:12:12,631
- Ranch Wilder's worse than scum.
- Who's fault is that? That is not my fault.
157
00:12:12,731 --> 00:12:15,601
What ever happened to Barney or Bailey,
or whatever the jerk's name is?
158
00:12:15,734 --> 00:12:17,770
You fired him and they
hired me on Monday.
159
00:12:18,671 --> 00:12:22,975
Then I can't officially fire
you until Friday. Make a note.
160
00:12:24,944 --> 00:12:26,846
Uh, where, where, where?
161
00:12:26,946 --> 00:12:28,614
All right, all right.
162
00:12:29,949 --> 00:12:31,150
Microphone?
163
00:12:31,283 --> 00:12:34,720
Thrown out of the game. I imagine
the commissioner's finally happy.
164
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,122
We're on in three, two, one.
165
00:12:37,256 --> 00:12:41,994
And we're back with Angels' manager
George Knox. This was a tough loss today.
166
00:12:42,127 --> 00:12:45,664
- Any loss is hard.
- But this one really got to you.
167
00:12:45,798 --> 00:12:49,368
You leave Cincinnati after ten years of winning
ball clubs, although the really big one...
168
00:12:49,501 --> 00:12:52,838
always seemed to be just out of reach,
and you come out here to manage our Angels.
169
00:12:52,938 --> 00:12:56,108
Now, expectations were high that
you could turn this team around,
170
00:12:56,242 --> 00:12:58,544
but that just doesn't seem to be happening.
171
00:12:59,211 --> 00:13:03,082
- Season's only half over, Ranch.
- And your club's in last place.
172
00:13:03,215 --> 00:13:06,385
You oughta know how one incident
can change the course of events.
173
00:13:06,485 --> 00:13:08,754
Well, you know, you play the
game, you take your chances.
174
00:13:08,854 --> 00:13:12,358
- Sometimes you're just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
- Yeah, you're an expert at that.
175
00:13:12,491 --> 00:13:16,262
- I could say the same about you.
- Well, actions speak louder than words.
176
00:13:16,595 --> 00:13:18,664
- Well, that'll wrap things up here in the field…
- Hey, I'm still on the air here.
177
00:13:18,797 --> 00:13:20,532
Oh, yeah? Ooh!
178
00:13:22,201 --> 00:13:25,464
We're speaking with Angels'
manager George Knox. George?
179
00:13:26,238 --> 00:13:28,340
And, uh, we'll be right back.
180
00:13:29,208 --> 00:13:31,377
Oh, Roger, you haven't eaten a thing.
181
00:13:31,477 --> 00:13:33,379
I'm not hungry.
182
00:13:34,146 --> 00:13:37,449
Miguel, you have to miss
the baseball game tomorrow
183
00:13:37,716 --> 00:13:40,786
I'm sorry, your social worker
called and you have an interview.
184
00:13:41,453 --> 00:13:43,389
She'll be here at 11:00.
185
00:13:43,522 --> 00:13:47,459
Good, I don't want to go to the
game anyway. Angels never win.
186
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,264
I want to go to the game.
They could win. It could happen.
187
00:13:52,398 --> 00:13:55,701
Yeah, and you could drop dead
after dinner with food poisoning.
188
00:13:55,726 --> 00:13:57,331
Leave him alone!
189
00:13:57,386 --> 00:14:00,663
Boys! Hey, look what we've
got for dessert. Jell-O.
190
00:14:00,773 --> 00:14:03,642
- Yea!
- It's not really Jell-O.
191
00:14:03,742 --> 00:14:06,545
It's cat brains with food coloring.
She kills 'em at night...
192
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,248
- and feeds 'em to us to save money.
- Shut up, Miguel!
193
00:14:09,381 --> 00:14:13,485
Roger, you know we do not use
those words in this house.
194
00:14:14,553 --> 00:14:16,055
Meow!
195
00:14:16,155 --> 00:14:19,558
And you know I would never use
food coloring on my cat brains.
196
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,603
- Okay, did we wash our faces?
- Yeah?
197
00:14:31,704 --> 00:14:35,140
Brush our teeth? Been to the bathroom?
198
00:14:35,841 --> 00:14:39,278
Did you pick the lint from
between your toes? Yeah?
199
00:14:39,945 --> 00:14:43,048
- Did you say your prayers?
- Yeah.
200
00:14:43,182 --> 00:14:45,417
Oh, yeah? Night.
201
00:14:45,517 --> 00:14:47,753
- Night, Maggie.
- Goodnight, Maggie.
202
00:14:49,355 --> 00:14:52,391
- I didn't say my prayers.
- I didn't wash my face.
203
00:14:52,524 --> 00:14:54,994
- What's lint, again?
- Shut up, butthead!
204
00:14:55,160 --> 00:15:00,199
Why do we gotta sleep in these sleeping bags?
I haven't peed the bed in a long time.
205
00:15:00,566 --> 00:15:02,167
You peed the bed last week.
206
00:15:02,301 --> 00:15:05,871
She makes us sleep in sleeping bags 'cause
she too old to bend over and tuck in sheets.
207
00:15:06,005 --> 00:15:10,476
- She isn't too old. She's got a lot to do.
- Did you guys pray?
208
00:15:10,576 --> 00:15:14,913
I pray every night you go to bed without
buggin' us with a thousand stupid questions.
209
00:15:15,047 --> 00:15:18,517
Maybe tomorrow you'll meet
a nice family, Miguel.
210
00:15:18,650 --> 00:15:22,488
I'll pray for that. It could happen.
211
00:15:41,507 --> 00:15:43,208
God...
212
00:15:43,475 --> 00:15:45,677
If there is a god...
213
00:15:46,245 --> 00:15:51,517
If you're a man or a woman,
if you're listenin',
214
00:15:53,252 --> 00:15:55,921
I'd really, really like...
215
00:15:56,522 --> 00:15:58,524
a family.
216
00:15:59,958 --> 00:16:05,064
My dad says that'll only happen
if the Angels win the pennant.
217
00:16:05,631 --> 00:16:07,800
The baseball team, I mean.
218
00:16:08,500 --> 00:16:11,904
So, maybe you could help 'em win a little.
219
00:16:14,339 --> 00:16:16,208
Amen.
220
00:16:21,346 --> 00:16:23,715
Uh, and a woman too.
221
00:16:33,125 --> 00:16:34,793
Come in.
222
00:16:35,127 --> 00:16:36,929
You wanted to see me?
223
00:16:37,162 --> 00:16:41,333
- You feelin' any better today, George?
- Why would I be feelin' better?
224
00:16:41,834 --> 00:16:45,137
Commissioner fined you
$5,000 for jumpin' Gates.
225
00:16:45,270 --> 00:16:49,041
And word has it Ranch is pressin'
civil charges for you poppin' him.
226
00:16:49,174 --> 00:16:52,244
Come to think of it,
I have felt better since I slugged Wilder.
227
00:16:52,377 --> 00:16:55,280
- Your pistol's smokin', pal.
- I hadn't made the connection.
228
00:16:55,447 --> 00:16:59,051
I know you and Wilder have been at each
other's throats since you were players.
229
00:16:59,184 --> 00:17:02,654
Yeah, we've been at each other's throats since
he spiked my knee and ruined my career.
230
00:17:02,788 --> 00:17:06,692
- Accidents happen, George.
- It wasn't an accident.
231
00:17:07,259 --> 00:17:10,896
When you slide into a catcher
with your nails up, it's on purpose.
232
00:17:11,029 --> 00:17:13,365
I was comin' into my best years.
233
00:17:13,465 --> 00:17:17,202
Now, don't go makin' more
cow-pies to step in, George.
234
00:17:17,436 --> 00:17:20,072
You got enough manure
on your boots now.
235
00:17:20,172 --> 00:17:22,141
Control yourself today.
236
00:17:27,112 --> 00:17:31,116
Ladies and gentlemen, a reminder
that every Wednesday is Kid's Day.
237
00:17:31,250 --> 00:17:35,621
Whoa! I see better seats!
Much better seats! Come on, J.P.
238
00:17:39,219 --> 00:17:41,693
Tickets are available the day of
the game at the stadium box office.
239
00:17:41,793 --> 00:17:43,395
- All right!
- Thank you.
240
00:17:43,428 --> 00:17:45,230
- Great seats.
- Yeah.
241
00:17:45,330 --> 00:17:48,800
- This is much better than the tree.
- I'll say.
242
00:17:53,939 --> 00:17:58,710
Hey, Skip. Trainer says I'm ready to pitch.
When am I gettin' off the injured list?
243
00:17:58,844 --> 00:18:03,682
How's never sound? You're here 'cause you
got a contract that pays you to be here.
244
00:18:03,782 --> 00:18:07,186
You blew your arm out.
Played on too many pain pills.
245
00:18:07,319 --> 00:18:11,557
Pain pills? You were the one stuffin' 'em
down my throat five years ago in Cincinnati.
246
00:18:11,657 --> 00:18:15,194
Hey, it was your decision to swallow 'em.
I had a brain.
247
00:18:15,294 --> 00:18:19,465
When you were finished, I traded you. I
never thought I'd get stuck with you again.
248
00:18:19,490 --> 00:18:21,325
Why, you rotten...
249
00:18:21,667 --> 00:18:25,470
That's not contagious, is it? Outta my way.
I got a ball club to manage.

I guess no matter how many times
you hear that song played...
260
00:19:06,979 --> 00:19:09,948
in a major league stadium
on a warm afternoon,
261
00:19:10,048 --> 00:19:12,484
it's still emotionally evocative.
262
00:19:12,818 --> 00:19:16,455
Drop dead. I got sunscreen in my eyes.
263
00:19:17,222 --> 00:19:20,025
Will I win, will I win,
will I win, win, win?
264
00:19:21,293 --> 00:19:22,928
Aw!
265
00:19:24,329 --> 00:19:27,799
- Yeah!
- Jose, can you see?
266
00:19:27,933 --> 00:19:32,237
- Wait a second. The first word is “Jose”? I thought it was...
- It's Jose. We know.
267
00:19:32,371 --> 00:19:37,442
Wow! It's about a Spanish guy!
♪ Jose, can you see ♪
268
00:19:37,576 --> 00:19:39,911
- I don't believe him.
- It's so easy.
269
00:19:41,003 --> 00:19:43,995
Whit Bass takes the mound
with his trademark slide.
270
00:19:44,074 --> 00:19:47,486
His oddball antics are by
now well known to the fans.
271
00:19:47,586 --> 00:19:50,856
That's right, Ranch. This season
alone we've seen him lick dirt,
272
00:19:50,989 --> 00:19:54,826
eat bugs and floss his
catcher's teeth in the dugout.
273
00:19:55,694 --> 00:19:58,897
None of that, may I add,
seems to have helped his pitching.
274
00:19:58,997 --> 00:20:01,600
He's two and eleven.
275
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,070
Leading off for the Blue Jays, number 22,
276
00:20:05,203 --> 00:20:08,440
third baseman, Orin Farley.
277
00:20:09,241 --> 00:20:13,912
And after hardly any warm-up,
Bass signals he's ready.
278
00:20:17,549 --> 00:20:20,686
Mm! Hmm, hmm!
279
00:20:24,823 --> 00:20:26,358
Huh?
280
00:20:26,925 --> 00:20:32,597
First pitch of the game and the Angels
have an error and a man on base.
281
00:20:33,231 --> 00:20:36,601
So the fifth inning goes into the books
with the score nothing to nothing.
282
00:20:36,768 --> 00:20:40,405
The Angels thus far have been able to
keep the hard-hitting Blue Jays silent.
283
00:20:40,539 --> 00:20:44,142
But as we head into the sixth, the Jays
have the middle of the order coming up...
284
00:20:44,276 --> 00:20:47,913
with the ever-dangerous
Asher Lazzato leading off.
285
00:20:48,213 --> 00:20:52,384
Number 31, left fielder, Asher Lazzato.
286
00:20:54,386 --> 00:20:58,957
Bass sets...
and sets... and sets again.
287
00:20:59,057 --> 00:21:01,226
Please, just throw the ball.
288
00:21:03,929 --> 00:21:05,464
Here's the pitch.
289
00:21:05,597 --> 00:21:08,800
And Lazzato smashes one to deep center!
290
00:21:08,934 --> 00:21:12,104
I don't think Williams
will get to this one.
291
00:21:34,226 --> 00:21:35,927
Oh!
292
00:21:37,729 --> 00:21:41,933
And Ben Williams makes
a miraculous catch.
293
00:21:42,067 --> 00:21:44,970
- Holy cow!
- How'd he do that?
294
00:21:45,103 --> 00:21:47,139
Yeah, holy cow!
295
00:21:47,272 --> 00:21:50,142
How'd he do that?
How did he do that?
296
00:21:53,078 --> 00:21:56,081
That, sports fans, is a play
you're going to see run
297
00:21:56,214 --> 00:21:59,684
in baseball highlights for years to come.
298
00:22:00,318 --> 00:22:03,321
- Get me something here! Come on, come on!
- We got it.
299
00:22:03,455 --> 00:22:07,592
Get me something! I'm hangin', I'm hangin'!
This is dead airtime!
300
00:22:07,726 --> 00:22:11,363
- Did you see that?
- Yeah, awesome.
301
00:22:11,563 --> 00:22:15,233
- They were just sucked down right from the sky.
- Who?
302
00:22:15,367 --> 00:22:18,670
Those guys.
Those guys in sparkling pajamas.
303
00:22:18,804 --> 00:22:24,209
What are you talking about, Roger?
What guys in sparkling pajamas?
304
00:22:24,342 --> 00:22:27,312
You didn't see 'em?
Those guys carrying Williams?
305
00:22:27,712 --> 00:22:31,550
- I don't know.
- Hey, mister, did you see that?
306
00:22:31,917 --> 00:22:35,420
- Lucky catch.
- No, did you see what happened with the clouds?
307
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,123
Did you see the people with
Williams when he caught the ball?
308
00:22:38,757 --> 00:22:39,991
Huh?
309
00:22:40,125 --> 00:22:44,729
There were shiny people out there.
Flying, shiny people.
310
00:22:45,730 --> 00:22:47,732
Yeah, well, tell your parents about it.
311
00:22:47,866 --> 00:22:53,538
- But the...
- Number 58, “The Irvinator”, Irving Nator.
312
00:22:58,343 --> 00:23:00,245
You didn't see 'em?
313
00:23:01,012 --> 00:23:04,716
It was a real good play, Roger.
I saw that.
314
00:23:04,816 --> 00:23:07,185
Yes! Yes!
315
00:23:07,319 --> 00:23:11,990
Amazing play! I love it when
they come from above like that.
316
00:23:13,091 --> 00:23:14,793
From-From above?
317
00:23:14,926 --> 00:23:17,262
The sky deal. It's a good entrance for 'em.
318
00:23:17,395 --> 00:23:19,931
- You mean you saw 'em?
- The angels?
319
00:23:21,166 --> 00:23:24,936
- Angels?
- 'Course I saw 'em. They're with me.
320
00:23:25,103 --> 00:23:28,373
The little one's a rookie.
Just got off his training wings.
321
00:23:28,507 --> 00:23:32,644
You mean tho-those are... real... angels?
322
00:23:32,777 --> 00:23:35,046
Accept no substitutes.
323
00:23:35,180 --> 00:23:36,948
Who are you?
324
00:23:38,350 --> 00:23:42,954
Just call me Al.
No one can see me or hear me but you.
325
00:23:43,054 --> 00:23:44,656
W-Why me?
326
00:23:44,789 --> 00:23:46,691
You asked for help and we're here.
327
00:23:46,825 --> 00:23:50,061
We come and go.
It's an “as-needed" situation.
328
00:23:50,195 --> 00:23:52,464
Who you talkin' to, Rog?
329
00:23:53,565 --> 00:23:56,624
- What are you talkin' about?
- Tubby's back.
330
00:23:56,868 --> 00:24:01,806
I'm vapor. Keep your nose
clean and your heart open.
331
00:24:01,940 --> 00:24:05,477
You got angels around, sonny.
We'll be in touch.
332
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,515
Al! What...
333
00:24:16,421 --> 00:24:19,291
- Who's Al?
- He's the...
334
00:24:22,427 --> 00:24:24,129
What's your problem?
335
00:24:27,098 --> 00:24:29,067
Are you sick or somethin'?
336
00:24:29,401 --> 00:24:31,903
Yeah, maybe.
337
00:24:32,137 --> 00:24:33,705
Get your pizza, hot pizza.
338
00:24:33,838 --> 00:24:36,041
With two outs,
this is the Angels' last chance...
339
00:24:36,174 --> 00:24:38,743
to put away the Jays before extra innings.
340
00:24:38,843 --> 00:24:41,546
Next up is Messmer who,
unfortunately, has been hitless...
341
00:24:41,646 --> 00:24:44,816
in his last 26 at bats.
342
00:24:45,050 --> 00:24:49,421
- Number 14, catcher Triscuit Messmer.
- Time.
343
00:24:57,762 --> 00:24:59,898
Here we go again.
344
00:25:21,453 --> 00:25:24,889
And that one, ladies and
gents, is headin' downtown...
345
00:25:25,023 --> 00:25:28,827
and Messmer breaks a bat and
the Angels' losing streak...
346
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:33,398
As he crashes a home run in
the ninth to win the game.
347
00:25:46,411 --> 00:25:48,613
Oh yeah!
348
00:25:50,281 --> 00:25:51,950
We won?
349
00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:58,323
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
350
00:25:59,024 --> 00:26:01,026
How did that happen?
351
00:26:02,293 --> 00:26:04,596
Yeah, ha!
352
00:26:05,497 --> 00:26:09,401
- But... you didn't see the angel with him?
- We won.
353
00:26:09,567 --> 00:26:13,705
But there were angels in the
outfield and in the infield.
354
00:26:13,805 --> 00:26:15,774
Yeah, nine of 'em.
355
00:26:16,541 --> 00:26:19,644
Ladies and gentlemen,
our final drawing this afternoon...
356
00:26:19,778 --> 00:26:23,248
will give three lucky winners a chance
to be photographed on the field..
357
00:26:23,348 --> 00:26:27,152
- With manager George Knox.
- That's a prize? Mm-mm.
358
00:26:27,285 --> 00:26:33,124
The first winning ticket
is number 4-7-7-3-8-0.
359
00:26:33,358 --> 00:26:35,860
- I won.
- What?
360
00:26:37,295 --> 00:26:40,532
You do it.
I don't wanna have my picture taken.
361
00:26:40,665 --> 00:26:42,834
I don't like strangers.
362
00:26:43,268 --> 00:26:47,072
Geez. What's goin' on around here?
363
00:26:47,205 --> 00:26:50,108
The series against the Oakland A's...
364
00:26:50,241 --> 00:26:53,545
- Opening Friday here at the Anaheim Stadium.
- Who's he?
365
00:26:53,878 --> 00:26:57,749
I can see you kids don't know
your baseball. That's Mel Clark.
366
00:26:57,882 --> 00:27:03,221
Mel Clark? Whoa, he pitched three
shutouts in a row for Cincinnati in 1986.
367
00:27:03,354 --> 00:27:06,257
- Well, that's right.
- My dad used to talk about him.
368
00:27:06,357 --> 00:27:08,927
You used to be Mel Clark?
369
00:27:09,928 --> 00:27:12,597
Yeah, I used to be.
370
00:27:12,731 --> 00:27:16,501
- Come on, son. Let's go.
- That's it. That's all, folks.
371
00:27:16,634 --> 00:27:18,503
Okay, we have three photo ops.
It'll be quick.
372
00:27:18,636 --> 00:27:20,371
Give 'em publicity stills.
It'll be quicker.
373
00:27:20,505 --> 00:27:23,341
- They want a picture with you. They're all kids.
- I hate kids.
374
00:27:23,475 --> 00:27:25,510
Yeah, I guessed that.
375
00:27:29,848 --> 00:27:31,716
First kid!
376
00:27:32,517 --> 00:27:34,953
J.P., wait! Well... He...
377
00:27:48,533 --> 00:27:50,735
Looks like a prison photo.
378
00:27:50,902 --> 00:27:55,140
Uh, would either of you mind smiling?
The team did just win.
379
00:27:55,273 --> 00:27:58,243
It was a mistake. This team can't win.
380
00:27:58,343 --> 00:28:00,825
They won 'cause there
were angels out there.
381
00:28:01,546 --> 00:28:02,881
Huh?
382
00:28:03,114 --> 00:28:04,649
Real ones. I saw 'em.
383
00:28:04,783 --> 00:28:07,719
Two angels came out of the sky
and they picked up Ben Williams.
384
00:28:07,819 --> 00:28:11,923
And another angel hit Messmer's home run.
That's why the bat broke.
385
00:28:12,023 --> 00:28:16,728
Great, a psycho kid. David,
you think they'd screen these people.
386
00:28:18,062 --> 00:28:22,300
It's true! Ask Williams about it.
Or Messmer.
387
00:28:22,767 --> 00:28:26,137
They'll tell you somethin's goin' on.
You'll see.
388
00:28:50,929 --> 00:28:54,999
- Honey, why aren't you asleep?
- I gotta ask you somethin'.
389
00:28:55,934 --> 00:28:58,069
Do you believe in angels?
390
00:28:59,337 --> 00:29:02,006
What do angels gotta do with
you bein' out of your bed?
391
00:29:02,140 --> 00:29:05,844
No, I really wanna know.
Do you think they're real?
392
00:29:07,812 --> 00:29:13,151
Well, there area lot of amazing things
in life that just can't be explained.
393
00:29:13,384 --> 00:29:14,986
Uh...
394
00:29:15,119 --> 00:29:17,188
I believe in, uh...
395
00:29:17,355 --> 00:29:20,191
the possibility of
miraculous things happening.
396
00:29:20,291 --> 00:29:23,761
That's what makes every day of
our lives worth getting up for.
397
00:29:23,928 --> 00:29:25,730
So, umm...
398
00:29:27,465 --> 00:29:31,402
Yeah. I guess I do believe in angels.
399
00:29:31,703 --> 00:29:33,304
Yeah.
400
00:29:34,906 --> 00:29:37,709
Me too. Good night, Maggie.
401
00:29:37,809 --> 00:29:39,544
Night.
402
00:29:43,615 --> 00:29:45,283
Huh!
403
00:30:01,966 --> 00:30:03,868
Nice catch yesterday, Ben.
404
00:30:03,968 --> 00:30:08,306
How did it feel? Or did it all happen
so fast you don't even remember?
405
00:30:08,539 --> 00:30:11,709
I felt weightless,
like somebody had me by the arms, Skip.
406
00:30:12,243 --> 00:30:14,112
How'd I do that?
407
00:30:22,820 --> 00:30:26,724
It wasn't like a regular homer, you know?
It felt like someone was swingin' with me.
408
00:30:26,858 --> 00:30:29,560
Very strange. I could feel some
added power comin' from somewhere.
409
00:30:29,661 --> 00:30:31,796
It must've been those chili
dogs I ate before the game.
410
00:30:31,930 --> 00:30:34,198
You know,
that third one tasted kinda funny.
411
00:30:35,633 --> 00:30:37,635
Chili dogs.
412
00:30:42,907 --> 00:30:45,543
I'm looking for Roger Bowman.
Does he live here?
413
00:30:45,677 --> 00:30:49,280
- Yeah.
- I'm George Knox from the California Angels.
414
00:30:49,380 --> 00:30:52,216
Roger won a photograph
at last Friday's game.
415
00:30:52,317 --> 00:30:54,485
- Oh.
- Uh...
416
00:30:54,585 --> 00:30:57,221
I'd really like to give it to him myself.
417
00:31:10,301 --> 00:31:11,970
You're Roger's mom?
418
00:31:12,103 --> 00:31:13,471
Nope.
419
00:31:13,771 --> 00:31:15,673
Aunt? Grandma?
420
00:31:16,474 --> 00:31:18,910
No, no. We're not related.
421
00:31:19,277 --> 00:31:23,281
This is a short-term foster
care facility. I run it.
422
00:31:24,382 --> 00:31:26,651
Roger is a ward of the state.
423
00:31:26,884 --> 00:31:28,453
Oh.
424
00:31:30,621 --> 00:31:36,561
Uh, so Roger... he's got a wild
imagination? Always making up stories?
425
00:31:36,694 --> 00:31:40,031
No, actually. He's very grounded.
426
00:31:40,565 --> 00:31:41,632
The fact is,
427
00:31:41,766 --> 00:31:47,038
most kids who are taken from their parents
by the court have a good handle on reality.
428
00:31:47,972 --> 00:31:49,674
I bet.
429
00:31:50,608 --> 00:31:53,678
Mel Clark strikes him out. Cincinnati wins.
430
00:31:53,845 --> 00:31:57,148
What do you want from him?
Why are you really here?
431
00:31:57,281 --> 00:31:59,917
Uh, young fans. League needs more of 'em.
432
00:32:02,887 --> 00:32:04,389
Roger?
433
00:32:05,857 --> 00:32:08,292
- I got your pictures.
- Thanks.
434
00:32:08,526 --> 00:32:10,928
- Yeah.
- I didn't know you were bringing 'em.
435
00:32:12,230 --> 00:32:13,798
Hmm.
436
00:32:14,065 --> 00:32:16,467
- Looks like a prison photo.
- Yeah.
437
00:32:16,601 --> 00:32:19,604
You said you thought you
saw something at the game.
438
00:32:19,737 --> 00:32:21,906
Yeah, angels. Real ones.
439
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,442
Why-Why do you think
there would be...
440
00:32:24,976 --> 00:32:28,179
real angels... at the ball game?
441
00:32:28,312 --> 00:32:30,415
Maybe 'cause I prayed for 'em?
442
00:32:30,581 --> 00:32:33,518
Nothing you were doing was helping.
I figured it couldn't hurt.
443
00:32:35,319 --> 00:32:37,021
Does he talk?
444
00:32:38,056 --> 00:32:41,192
Of course he talks.
He just doesn't like strangers.
445
00:32:41,325 --> 00:32:44,362
Me either. I don't even like my friends.
446
00:32:44,796 --> 00:32:48,699
These angels you think you seen,
do you suppose they're coming back?
447
00:32:48,833 --> 00:32:52,070
- If they feel like it, I guess.
- Oh, this is crazy.
448
00:32:52,203 --> 00:32:54,672
I must be losing it.
What I meant to say is...
449
00:32:54,806 --> 00:32:58,943
uh, uh, do you wanna come
to the game tomorrow?
450
00:32:59,077 --> 00:33:02,113
I have an open seat next to
the dugout and you can...
451
00:33:02,580 --> 00:33:04,949
get your Aunt Maggie or
whoever she is to come along.
452
00:33:05,083 --> 00:33:07,418
- I don't go to baseball games.
- Oh!
453
00:33:07,785 --> 00:33:10,855
- You can go, Roger.
- Can J.P. Come too?
454
00:33:14,258 --> 00:33:15,760
Okay.
455
00:33:18,029 --> 00:33:20,131
After their victory over the Jays,
456
00:33:20,264 --> 00:33:23,634
the Angels open a three-game series
against the visiting Athletics.
457
00:33:23,768 --> 00:33:27,638
Winning the last game may have given
these Angels a boost. Sizing up the team,
458
00:33:27,772 --> 00:33:31,109
I'd say they look bouncier
today, wouldn't you, Wally?
459
00:33:31,242 --> 00:33:34,879
- Absolutely, Ranch. As we saw in last game...
- Keep it minimal, Wally.
460
00:33:35,012 --> 00:33:36,848
They'll like you better.
461
00:33:38,049 --> 00:33:41,886
We're 20 minutes from game time and there
are already more people in the seats...
462
00:33:41,986 --> 00:33:45,323
then there were for the
last five games combined.
463
00:33:52,330 --> 00:33:55,233
- Here. Here you go. Take that. Okay.
- Thanks.
464
00:33:55,333 --> 00:33:59,704
- Do you want anything else?
- Yeah, peanuts maybe, and nachos if you could.
465
00:34:00,238 --> 00:34:01,806
Yeah.
466
00:34:11,349 --> 00:34:13,317
- Sorry.
- My linen suit!
467
00:34:13,451 --> 00:34:17,255
What do I do? Mustard stains.
That's... hot water...
468
00:34:17,455 --> 00:34:19,757
Cold water... Club soda! That's club soda.
469
00:34:19,891 --> 00:34:22,693
- I got soda.
- No!
470
00:34:25,596 --> 00:34:27,532
I'm all wet.
471
00:34:28,766 --> 00:34:32,970
Get up in front of me, now! We're gonna
dry off. Leave your popcorn there.
472
00:34:36,307 --> 00:34:40,478
- Hey, what happened to you?
- Those kids, they're evil.
473
00:34:40,611 --> 00:34:43,314
The big one might be
lucky, so keep him happy.
474
00:34:43,781 --> 00:34:46,250
- J.P., let's go!
- We gonna win today, kid?
475
00:34:46,384 --> 00:34:48,486
- Maybe.
- Maybe?
476
00:34:48,619 --> 00:34:51,055
I don't know. It's your team.
477
00:34:54,559 --> 00:34:56,494
Don't remind me.
478
00:34:58,896 --> 00:35:00,798
Sit down!
479
00:35:06,070 --> 00:35:08,005
Oh, please, don't drink me.
480
00:35:08,139 --> 00:35:10,975
No, no, no, don't, don't!
481
00:35:13,177 --> 00:35:14,912
Shh. Shh-shh.
482
00:35:15,046 --> 00:35:18,849
This is between you and me, little guy.
No one can see me but you.
483
00:35:18,983 --> 00:35:21,886
- Remember?
- Oh... hi.
484
00:35:23,754 --> 00:35:25,456
Sit down, already.
485
00:35:25,556 --> 00:35:29,327
I left in a hurry yesterday.
I forgot a few of the rules.
486
00:35:29,427 --> 00:35:33,331
Numero uno: Don't tell anyone about us.
487
00:35:33,464 --> 00:35:36,901
Now, I heard you already told
a little kid and El Capitan.
488
00:35:37,001 --> 00:35:40,204
But nobody else. We hate recognition.
489
00:35:40,304 --> 00:35:42,406
We're a very sensitive group.
490
00:35:42,506 --> 00:35:44,308
If people know we're around,
491
00:35:44,408 --> 00:35:46,911
I wouldn't be able to get an
angel within a mile of this team.
492
00:35:47,378 --> 00:35:51,349
- Okay. Are you guys gonna help out today?
- We'll see.
493
00:35:51,449 --> 00:35:53,384
We never make commitments.
494
00:35:53,517 --> 00:35:58,122
We go and come and come and go.
We're a capricious crowd.
495
00:35:58,222 --> 00:36:00,791
What's capri... What's capricious?
496
00:36:00,925 --> 00:36:05,763
Just keep your chin up and your
eyes open and enjoy the game.
497
00:36:08,032 --> 00:36:09,834
You popped Al!
498
00:36:09,967 --> 00:36:13,004
- Who's Al?
- Al's the boss angel.
499
00:36:13,104 --> 00:36:16,974
- He was just here, but he's gone now.
- Next time will you tell me sooner?
500
00:36:17,108 --> 00:36:19,577
I'd like to try and see one.
501
00:36:19,810 --> 00:36:21,946
Mr. Knox, over here!
502
00:36:22,046 --> 00:36:24,382
Mr. Knox, over here!
503
00:36:24,515 --> 00:36:26,984
Mr. Knox, come on, come on! Mr. Knox!
504
00:36:27,351 --> 00:36:29,453
I just saw an angel!
505
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,491
- You saw an angel?
- Yeah. In my Coke cup.
506
00:36:34,859 --> 00:36:37,395
- In your... Coke cup?
- Yeah.
507
00:36:38,996 --> 00:36:40,798
Okay...
508
00:36:42,233 --> 00:36:43,968
I gotta get back to the dugout.
509
00:36:44,068 --> 00:36:46,137
What should I do if I see another one?
510
00:36:46,804 --> 00:36:50,641
Kid, I was thinking of you
as a sort of good luck charm.
511
00:36:50,741 --> 00:36:53,477
Not as someone who
spiritually hallucinates.
512
00:36:53,611 --> 00:36:57,448
- What's that?
- It means, if you see anything weird,
513
00:36:57,615 --> 00:36:59,250
keep it to yourself.
514
00:36:59,350 --> 00:37:02,953
But, wait! You should know. You're the
manager and the angels are here to help.
515
00:37:03,087 --> 00:37:06,023
- And if I don't tell you, you're not gonna know...
- Okay. Just calm down.
516
00:37:07,376 --> 00:37:09,660
In baseball, we got... signals.
517
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:14,265
Make some kind of signal. Okay? I can't
come over here every couple of seconds.
518
00:37:14,398 --> 00:37:16,834
Um... I'll go like that, okay?
519
00:37:18,436 --> 00:37:20,438
You do that. That's fine.
520
00:37:20,738 --> 00:37:25,209
- And we can't let David know.
- Yeah, right. Absolutely.
521
00:37:25,910 --> 00:37:29,880
We can't tell David. Can't tell anyone.
522
00:37:35,720 --> 00:37:37,254
Thank you.
523
00:37:38,222 --> 00:37:40,157
- Here.
- Yeah.
524
00:37:40,257 --> 00:37:41,759
Thanks.
525
00:37:43,527 --> 00:37:47,898
Thanks. Oh, and excuse me,
David, where are the nachos?
526
00:37:53,504 --> 00:37:55,606
I'm saving them for later.
527
00:37:57,341 --> 00:37:59,143
Sorry!
528
00:38:04,215 --> 00:38:08,119
Number 17, first baseman, Tom Brewer.
529
00:38:08,219 --> 00:38:11,255
Bass takes the sign. Here's the pitch.
530
00:38:11,422 --> 00:38:15,092
And it's lined to left
for another base hit.
531
00:38:15,326 --> 00:38:18,362
So it's more bad news for manager Knox...
532
00:38:18,496 --> 00:38:20,998
as he does his dance in the dugout.
533
00:38:21,132 --> 00:38:23,467
Mapel waits for the pitch.
534
00:38:25,269 --> 00:38:29,540
- Strike!
- Strike? Aw, come on! Now that's no strike!
535
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:33,744
If that was a strike,
then you blind as a horse's ass!
536
00:38:38,215 --> 00:38:40,885
Come on. Let me have some... gimme this.
537
00:38:41,018 --> 00:38:42,686
Mr. Knox.
538
00:38:47,625 --> 00:38:50,361
- Yeah?
- It's nacho butt.
539
00:38:51,762 --> 00:38:53,697
Go buy the kids nachos.
540
00:38:54,365 --> 00:38:56,934
Anything... but nachos.
541
00:38:57,034 --> 00:39:00,971
- Buy them Angel's jackets.
- It's 90 degrees outside.
542
00:39:01,105 --> 00:39:03,941
Get your butt up there now!
543
00:39:07,878 --> 00:39:11,549
You know, it's been four
innings and no real angels yet.
544
00:39:11,649 --> 00:39:16,587
I was just thinking, maybe you shouldn't swear
so much. I bet the angels don't like it.
545
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,830
Shhhoot.
546
00:39:28,666 --> 00:39:31,735
You stupid sons of... a kid!
547
00:39:35,306 --> 00:39:37,408
Man, he is a deadbeat.
548
00:39:37,842 --> 00:39:39,643
Let's keep the profanity down!
549
00:39:39,777 --> 00:39:43,214
- Huh?
- I mean it, no swearin'!
550
00:39:43,347 --> 00:39:45,883
That eliminates all speech
for most of the team.
551
00:39:45,983 --> 00:39:49,019
So here in the ninth, the Athletics
have opted to bring in reliever...
552
00:39:49,153 --> 00:39:53,591
Tom Ruddy to pitch to Angels heavy
hitter, Ray Mitchell.
553
00:40:05,369 --> 00:40:08,239
- Oh-ho, wow!
- What happened?
554
00:40:08,806 --> 00:40:13,444
There's an angel right next to Hemmerling.
Uh, David, I-I need a drink.
555
00:40:13,577 --> 00:40:16,146
- You have drinks.
- I don't want these. I want somethin' else.
556
00:40:16,247 --> 00:40:17,681
What else?
557
00:40:17,982 --> 00:40:20,317
Uh... coffee.
558
00:40:22,186 --> 00:40:23,854
You drink coffee?
559
00:40:25,289 --> 00:40:27,825
Yeah. Of course. All the time.
560
00:40:27,958 --> 00:40:34,098
All the time. What do you think we are, little
kids? Now, get me a cup or I'll scream.
561
00:40:34,365 --> 00:40:36,233
How do you take it?
562
00:40:38,669 --> 00:40:40,371
In cups.
563
00:40:46,377 --> 00:40:49,980
Mr. Knox! Mr. Knox!
Come over here. We got one!
564
00:40:55,586 --> 00:40:57,187
Hey.
565
00:40:58,188 --> 00:40:59,657
What's goin' on?
566
00:40:59,757 --> 00:41:02,560
- There's an angel with Hemmerling.
- What?
567
00:41:02,693 --> 00:41:05,529
There's an angel massaging
Hemmerling's shoulders.
568
00:41:16,106 --> 00:41:17,608
This is ridiculous.
569
00:41:17,741 --> 00:41:20,511
I don't know what you see,
but there's no one with Hemmerling.
570
00:41:20,778 --> 00:41:22,980
She's rubbing his shoulders.
571
00:41:24,848 --> 00:41:27,618
- Huh?
- And what should I do about it?
572
00:41:27,751 --> 00:41:29,820
Put him in. Pinch-hit.
573
00:41:30,020 --> 00:41:32,856
I got Mitchell coming up.
He's my best hitter.
574
00:41:32,957 --> 00:41:35,826
Hemmerling can't hit
the broadside of a barn.
575
00:41:35,870 --> 00:41:39,897
I can't substitute my worst
hitter for my best hitter.
576
00:41:40,030 --> 00:41:43,567
- If you want a hit, you'll put in Hemmerling.
- It's crazy! Wacko.
577
00:41:44,168 --> 00:41:45,469
You forget about it.
578
00:41:45,603 --> 00:41:47,538
- But he's got an angel.
- Ah!
579
00:41:49,940 --> 00:41:52,309
What's the worst thing that could happen?
580
00:41:52,509 --> 00:41:55,379
Are we gonna fall out of last place?
581
00:42:03,454 --> 00:42:06,490
Sit down, Mitchell! You're up, Hemmerling.
582
00:42:06,624 --> 00:42:08,292
Huh?
583
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,362
- What are you talkin' about?
- Yeah?
584
00:42:11,462 --> 00:42:14,198
You heard what I said.
You're out and you're in.
585
00:42:15,733 --> 00:42:17,601
You gotta be stupid!
586
00:42:17,735 --> 00:42:19,737
Hey, get your stuff!
587
00:42:23,674 --> 00:42:29,246
As Mitchell was getting ready to lead off,
Knox has suddenly decided to pinch hit.
588
00:42:29,346 --> 00:42:33,584
And he's bringing in Danny
Hemmerling, the utility infielder,
589
00:42:33,717 --> 00:42:39,490
who is known, sports fans, for his
glove, but definitely, not for his bat.
590
00:42:41,091 --> 00:42:46,563
Hemmerling for Mitchell?
Go back to Cincinnati!
591
00:42:51,101 --> 00:42:52,569
Strike!
592
00:42:56,674 --> 00:42:58,208
Where'd they go?
593
00:43:00,778 --> 00:43:04,214
- Strike!
- See the pitch?
594
00:43:21,865 --> 00:43:23,400

- Yeah!
- Yeah!
609
00:44:07,444 --> 00:44:12,149
Hemmerling scores for the first time
this season and the Angels win the game.
610
00:44:12,249 --> 00:44:17,821
This will go down in the record books.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is unbelievable!
611
00:44:18,222 --> 00:44:20,190
This is insanity!
612
00:44:20,324 --> 00:44:25,195
I've never seen anything like this.
And obviously, neither have these umps.
613
00:44:25,863 --> 00:44:27,765
I don't know.
614
00:44:29,533 --> 00:44:31,702
Yeah! All right!
615
00:44:31,835 --> 00:44:34,204
Something's going on with this kid.
616
00:44:35,405 --> 00:44:38,442
Ladies and gentlemen, can we now say
the Angels are on a winning streak?
617
00:44:38,575 --> 00:44:43,914
Or were these last few games just a small blip
on the screen of a terminally ill patient?
618
00:44:44,047 --> 00:44:46,817
Only time will tell.
619
00:44:46,950 --> 00:44:50,154
What is going on? Where are my stats?
I'm on the air!
620
00:44:50,287 --> 00:44:54,858
My ass is hanging on the air,
and there are no stats. How many errors?
621
00:44:54,958 --> 00:44:57,928
- There were a lot of errors.
- Not as many as in this booth.
622
00:44:58,061 --> 00:45:00,964
Let me tell you, this is not baseball.
623
00:45:02,733 --> 00:45:04,535
- Ow!
- David.
624
00:45:04,701 --> 00:45:09,406
Whatever your duties before, forget 'em. From
now on, these boys will be at all our games.
625
00:45:09,473 --> 00:45:11,675
- All right!
- That's your job.
626
00:45:11,809 --> 00:45:15,512
I want to remind you, you are gonna
fire me on Friday, aren't you?
627
00:45:15,612 --> 00:45:17,748
- You've bonded with the boys.
- Bonded?
628
00:45:17,848 --> 00:45:20,217
- You're gonna stick around, David.
- Yeah, stick around.
629
00:45:20,350 --> 00:45:24,822
- You got job security.
- Job security? Who knew?
630
00:45:24,955 --> 00:45:28,292
So, you're right.
Hemmerling came through.
631
00:45:28,332 --> 00:45:30,360
- Yeah, 'cause the angel.
- Ah, whatever.
632
00:45:30,494 --> 00:45:35,432
- We got angels helping the team.
- Ah, well, that may be, but we're winning.
633
00:45:36,300 --> 00:45:39,169
Yeah. All the games, man!
Can you believe it?
634
00:45:39,303 --> 00:45:42,272
When we're on the road,
you should watch the games on TV.
635
00:45:42,372 --> 00:45:44,641
We'll figure out a way for
us to talk on the phone.
636
00:45:44,775 --> 00:45:47,511
You mean, the phone in the dugout
you're always yellin' into...
637
00:45:47,604 --> 00:45:50,641
- and banging against the wall and spitting at?
- Yeah.
638
00:45:50,750 --> 00:45:52,449
Yeah.
Cool!
639
00:45:54,384 --> 00:45:58,455
What a game. First time Hemmerling
got a hit, let alone a home run.
640
00:45:58,589 --> 00:46:01,692
- It's 'cause of the angels; They helped him.
- Get in.
641
00:46:03,060 --> 00:46:05,128
Come on. We don't have all day.
642
00:46:06,196 --> 00:46:09,800
- J.P. doesn't ride in cars.
- What's the problem? He gets carsick?
643
00:46:09,933 --> 00:46:13,203
Sort of. He used to live
in a car with his mom.
644
00:46:13,370 --> 00:46:18,775
He slept in the front curled up like a cat.
When he gets in, his stomachache comes back.
645
00:46:39,463 --> 00:46:41,698
- I'll call you tomorrow.
- All right.
646
00:46:42,399 --> 00:46:44,468
Thank you for the ride home.
647
00:46:44,599 --> 00:46:46,101
He speaks?
648
00:46:49,139 --> 00:46:51,308
- Hi. You guys have a good time?
- Hi.
649
00:46:51,408 --> 00:46:53,243
- A blast!
- We won!
650
00:46:53,377 --> 00:46:55,779
- Great.
- Where's Miguel?
651
00:46:55,879 --> 00:47:01,685
- I bought him all sorts of stuff.
- Miguel got placed in a foster home this afternoon.
652
00:47:02,619 --> 00:47:05,155
- He got placed?
- Miguel's gone?
653
00:47:05,289 --> 00:47:06,723
Mm-hmm.
654
00:47:07,190 --> 00:47:09,293
Where? With who?
655
00:47:09,426 --> 00:47:11,795
A real nice family from Northridge.
656
00:47:11,929 --> 00:47:15,599
I'm gonna miss him. I really liked Miguel.
657
00:47:17,768 --> 00:47:20,470
I only have a license for short-term care.
658
00:47:20,604 --> 00:47:24,074
- You know, Miguel's been here for six months.
- Seven.
659
00:47:24,207 --> 00:47:26,109
Seven months! Right.
660
00:47:26,343 --> 00:47:30,647
That's what happens, you know? I mean...
you understand that, Roger?
661
00:47:30,747 --> 00:47:33,383
Oh, don't feel bad, Maggie.
662
00:47:34,551 --> 00:47:37,721
I bet we'll see him again.
Maybe in court or something.
663
00:47:38,055 --> 00:47:40,057
Oh, Roger.
664
00:47:40,924 --> 00:47:42,926
God forbid.
665
00:47:46,263 --> 00:47:47,965
Roger?
666
00:47:48,498 --> 00:47:52,970
- What?
- Are you asleep?
667
00:47:53,870 --> 00:47:56,506
If I was asleep,
how would I be talkin' to you?
668
00:47:57,007 --> 00:47:59,443
"You could be “sleep-talking."
669
00:48:01,478 --> 00:48:05,415
Look, I'll give a dime tomorrow
if you don't say another word.
670
00:48:06,316 --> 00:48:08,085
Okay.
671
00:48:12,122 --> 00:48:13,824
Roger?
672
00:48:14,591 --> 00:48:16,860
You can forget that dime.
673
00:48:19,196 --> 00:48:22,666
Do you think your parents
are gonna ever come get you?
674
00:48:23,467 --> 00:48:24,901
I don't know.
675
00:48:25,035 --> 00:48:29,006
Mom's not alive, but...
my dad's gonna come get me.
676
00:48:29,706 --> 00:48:31,541
I'm sure of it.
677
00:48:31,942 --> 00:48:34,845
You think my mom's
gonna ever come get me?
678
00:48:35,579 --> 00:48:38,115
Maybe, you know.
679
00:48:38,482 --> 00:48:40,217
It could happen.
680
00:48:41,418 --> 00:48:44,688
Yeah... it could happen.
681
00:48:48,692 --> 00:48:51,728
- Roger?
- What?
682
00:48:52,029 --> 00:48:54,598
I'm happy you see the angels.
683
00:48:57,434 --> 00:48:59,202
Me too.
684
00:49:01,938 --> 00:49:03,807
Good night.
685
00:49:08,512 --> 00:49:11,048
It's a beautiful day here in Anaheim...
686
00:49:11,181 --> 00:49:15,852
as the resurgent Angels prepare to meet their
longtime nemesis, the Detroit Tigers...
687
00:49:15,986 --> 00:49:19,356
who have won the first five
games of their western road trip.
688
00:49:19,489 --> 00:49:23,226
They've been the hottest team in the
league for the last few weeks, Ranch.
689
00:49:26,730 --> 00:49:29,466
Coming up next week, "Cap Night."
690
00:49:29,633 --> 00:49:34,438
This will feature a totally white cap
with red pinstripes and the Angels' logo.
691
00:49:34,571 --> 00:49:38,809
It's free for the first 50,000
fans entering Anaheim Stadium.
692
00:49:48,085 --> 00:49:51,121
- I see an angel.
- Already?
693
00:49:52,556 --> 00:49:56,960
I gotta go bathroom. I can't go alone.
Bad guys might get me.
694
00:49:57,060 --> 00:49:59,763
You just came back from the bathroom.
695
00:49:59,896 --> 00:50:02,466
- I've gotta go now. Sorry.
- Gimme your Coke.
696
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,069
Gimme the Crackerjacks. Stand up.
697
00:50:06,436 --> 00:50:08,004
Go.
698
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:19,416
- What's up?
- We got an angel.
699
00:50:21,651 --> 00:50:23,353
But the game hasn't started.
700
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:25,856
She was with Mel Clark.
701
00:50:36,733 --> 00:50:38,635
Ah, impossible.
702
00:50:38,768 --> 00:50:41,338
She was there. That means Mel
should start the game today.
703
00:50:41,471 --> 00:50:44,207
- Mel's arm is gone.
- I don't care. He should start the game.
704
00:50:44,341 --> 00:50:47,511
No way! Besides,
he's not even on the active roster.
705
00:50:47,644 --> 00:50:50,814
If the angel pitches with
him, he'll be awesome.
706
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,762
You really do see something, don't you?
707
00:51:07,564 --> 00:51:10,233
Yeah... I do.
708
00:51:27,450 --> 00:51:29,319
Good. All right.
709
00:51:46,903 --> 00:51:49,973
You're off injured reserve
and you're starting today.
710
00:51:51,575 --> 00:51:53,176
You talkin' to me?
711
00:51:53,310 --> 00:51:57,280
Yeah. So get your stuff together.
712
00:52:02,786 --> 00:52:06,323
The starting pitcher announced
for this game was Dan Prince.
713
00:52:06,423 --> 00:52:09,025
But just moments ago,
the Angels made a dramatic change...
714
00:52:09,125 --> 00:52:12,362
and activated the long-injured Mel Clark.
715
00:52:12,495 --> 00:52:16,433
League rules specify that up until the first
pitch is thrown, the roster can be altered,
716
00:52:16,566 --> 00:52:21,004
although I can't ever remember
this happening so near game time.
717
00:52:21,204 --> 00:52:22,872
Me either, Ranch.
718
00:52:23,006 --> 00:52:25,308
Easy, Wally. Less is more.
719
00:52:26,910 --> 00:52:29,512
These warm-ups should be interesting.
720
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:32,916
Over the plate, man!
721
00:52:33,049 --> 00:52:35,585
Clark looks a little rusty.
722
00:52:35,952 --> 00:52:38,788
Too much time in the whirlpool, Wally.
723
00:52:40,790 --> 00:52:42,225
I'm checking to see...
724
00:52:42,325 --> 00:52:45,228
if Dan Prince pulled a
muscle during his warm-up.
725
00:52:45,528 --> 00:52:51,034
There must be some logical explanation as to
why Knox would make such a bizarre change.
726
00:52:51,167 --> 00:52:54,371
I have personally checked the
stats, sports fans,
727
00:52:54,504 --> 00:53:00,176
and Mel Clark hasn't started a game...
in this decade.
728
00:53:00,710 --> 00:53:03,580
He looks mighty nervous out there.
729
00:53:04,247 --> 00:53:07,017
Not as nervous as George Knox
730
00:53:24,834 --> 00:53:27,270
Clark takes the sign.
731
00:53:31,441 --> 00:53:34,944
- Talk about heat! Messmer felt that one.
- Ow!
732
00:53:35,912 --> 00:53:37,681
Wow!
733
00:53:37,814 --> 00:53:42,185
- What an amazing pitch!
- You damn... darn right.
734
00:53:43,987 --> 00:53:46,756
Well, commit that to memory, Wally,
735
00:53:46,923 --> 00:53:49,259
'cause he doesn't have
any more of those in him.
736
00:53:49,793 --> 00:53:52,929
- An angel helped out on that one.
- Good.
737
00:53:54,297 --> 00:53:56,166
Strike!
738
00:53:57,267 --> 00:53:59,069
Strike!
739
00:53:59,469 --> 00:54:01,071
Mel!
740
00:54:01,271 --> 00:54:04,808
- Way to go!
- All right, Mel!
741
00:54:11,406 --> 00:54:14,843
It's now the top of the ninth.
There are two outs. We've got a full count.
742
00:54:14,943 --> 00:54:17,761
This could be the Tigers' last
chance to get back in this game.
743
00:54:17,786 --> 00:54:19,215
One more.
744
00:54:29,799 --> 00:54:32,502
I told you! I told you!
745
00:54:34,137 --> 00:54:38,808
That's the game! The Angels win
one-nothing in a miracle shutout...
746
00:54:38,908 --> 00:54:41,711
pitched by the veteran, Mel Clark.
747
00:54:50,353 --> 00:54:54,023
How in the world did old
noodle-arm pull that off?
748
00:54:54,657 --> 00:54:56,559
And who gets the credit?
749
00:54:56,926 --> 00:55:00,530
George Knox.
George Knox.
750
00:55:00,630 --> 00:55:04,534
We're down in the Angels' clubhouse
for a talk with manager George Knox.
751
00:55:04,667 --> 00:55:06,870
What inspired you to start Mel?
752
00:55:06,970 --> 00:55:10,073
A feeling. An instinct. A kind of faith.
753
00:55:10,173 --> 00:55:13,143
A faith in what? Has Mel shown
this kind of power in practice?
754
00:55:13,243 --> 00:55:17,013
Mel Clark has always shown himself
to be an extraordinary athlete.
755
00:55:17,447 --> 00:55:19,849
The rest is about believing
in something or someone.
756
00:55:19,949 --> 00:55:21,951
Now, when did you suddenly
start believing in Clark?
757
00:55:22,051 --> 00:55:24,120
He's been sitting on the bench all season.
758
00:55:24,621 --> 00:55:27,490
- I look for signs.
- It's good to win.
759
00:55:27,590 --> 00:55:30,126
Sometimes they come
from unexpected places.
760
00:55:30,260 --> 00:55:31,828
- Look, that's enough out of me for today.
- Uh-huh.
761
00:55:31,961 --> 00:55:34,731
Talk to the star of the game.
Excuse me.
762
00:55:38,234 --> 00:55:40,737
Something's going on.
763
00:55:41,604 --> 00:55:44,441
Mel? You talk to us about the game?
764
00:55:44,574 --> 00:55:47,143
Well, it...
it feels great to be a winner again.
765
00:55:47,277 --> 00:55:50,113
- We won!
- Yeah. Three in a row.
766
00:55:50,246 --> 00:55:52,115
Oh, I feel good!
767
00:55:52,248 --> 00:55:56,386
- Yeah, me too!
- Me three!
768
00:55:57,420 --> 00:55:59,222
I owe you guys.
769
00:55:59,556 --> 00:56:01,925
Okay, anything you want.
770
00:56:02,091 --> 00:56:04,594
You name it.
You got it.
771
00:56:06,496 --> 00:56:08,465
All right. Let's play ball!
772
00:56:08,598 --> 00:56:10,533
Yeah!
773
00:56:13,436 --> 00:56:16,539
- Come on, let's go.
- Come on, let's go.
774
00:56:16,673 --> 00:56:18,908
Slow and easy.
775
00:56:19,476 --> 00:56:21,377
Keep your elbows up.
776
00:56:22,245 --> 00:56:23,947
Here it comes.
777
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:25,615
Swing hard!
778
00:56:25,748 --> 00:56:27,784
Great hit, J.P.!
779
00:56:27,884 --> 00:56:30,119
Get it, Roger, get it! Get it!
780
00:56:30,220 --> 00:56:32,722
- Yeah! All right!
- Roger, come on.
781
00:56:32,856 --> 00:56:34,624
- You missed on purpose.
- All right, J.P.!
782
00:56:34,757 --> 00:56:36,626
All right, who's next?
783
00:56:39,662 --> 00:56:42,365
Let's give the kid over on the car a shot.
784
00:56:45,735 --> 00:56:48,905
- What's your name?
- Marvin Vincent Archer.
785
00:56:49,038 --> 00:56:52,842
- You play any ball before, Marvin?
- No, never played any ball.
786
00:56:52,976 --> 00:56:56,679
Well, this is the perfect
time to learn. Come on.
787
00:56:56,813 --> 00:57:01,266
- Watch the ball and when I say, "now", you swing.
- Stay sharp, Zack.
788
00:57:01,340 --> 00:57:03,553
Just do exactly what I say.
789
00:57:03,686 --> 00:57:05,388
Get ready to swing.
790
00:57:05,522 --> 00:57:09,459
- Now! Oh! Oh!
- Go, Marvin! Run to first base!
791
00:57:09,559 --> 00:57:11,461
Go, Marvin, go!
792
00:57:11,594 --> 00:57:14,364
Yeah! Yeah! That's it!
793
00:57:15,532 --> 00:57:19,269
- You stay on base and do just what I say.
- Okay.
794
00:57:19,536 --> 00:57:25,575
- We got runners on first and second.
- Places now.
795
00:57:26,676 --> 00:57:30,480
And look who's coming to bat... Babe Ruth.
796
00:57:37,086 --> 00:57:39,155
Get ready.
797
00:57:40,223 --> 00:57:42,525
Oh!
798
00:57:44,060 --> 00:57:45,795
- Go, Marvin, go!
- Go, Marvin! Run home!
799
00:57:45,895 --> 00:57:49,465
- Run home? Run home. Run home.
- Run home!
800
00:57:49,632 --> 00:57:54,404
- Run home. Run home.
- Hey, Marvin, where you going?
801
00:57:54,537 --> 00:57:56,472
Run home, run home, run home.
802
00:57:56,606 --> 00:57:59,442
Hey, where's he goin'?
And what happened?
803
00:57:59,542 --> 00:58:02,245
You told him to run home. He did.
804
00:58:34,344 --> 00:58:36,179
That's cool.
805
00:58:39,382 --> 00:58:42,418
You call that a call? You call that a call?
806
00:58:42,552 --> 00:58:45,755
In all my years of baseball,
I have never seen such a...
807
00:58:45,888 --> 00:58:48,658
Such an astute evaluation...
808
00:58:48,758 --> 00:58:52,161
of a potentially difficult decision.
809
00:58:52,261 --> 00:58:54,197
Masterful call.
810
00:58:54,297 --> 00:58:57,300
Oh, have a nice day.
811
00:59:00,103 --> 00:59:02,438
Fair ball!
812
00:59:07,510 --> 00:59:09,312
Ow!
813
00:59:19,022 --> 00:59:21,691
- Safe!
- Yeah!
814
00:59:22,325 --> 00:59:24,594
Yahoo!
815
00:59:24,827 --> 00:59:27,530
- Yeah!
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
816
00:59:32,735 --> 00:59:34,570
- Yes!
- There you go, pal.
817
00:59:34,704 --> 00:59:36,873
- Thanks! All right.
- Oh, thanks, Mel.
818
00:59:37,006 --> 00:59:39,542
- Hey, that's my ball.
- Oh, it's...
819
00:59:46,783 --> 00:59:48,951
Unbelievable!
820
00:59:55,491 --> 00:59:57,493
Get out of the way!
821
01:00:18,981 --> 01:00:21,718
- You're outta here!
- Yeah!
822
01:00:23,853 --> 01:00:25,588
No?
823
01:00:25,965 --> 01:00:29,792
- Hey!

829

Go!
830
01:01:01,357 --> 01:01:03,092
The Angels have closed out the season...
831
01:01:03,226 --> 01:01:04,861
with an incredible hot streak.
832
01:01:04,961 --> 01:01:08,798
Who would have believed this team could go
from last place at the all-star break...
833
01:01:08,931 --> 01:01:11,968
to just one win away from
clinching the division title?
834
01:01:12,101 --> 01:01:14,303
Now it all comes down to the
last two games of the season.
835
01:01:14,403 --> 01:01:18,841
And, ironically, they are with the
defending champion, Chicago White Sox...
836
01:01:18,975 --> 01:01:22,311
who are one game back and closing
fast in a determined effort...
837
01:01:22,445 --> 01:01:25,081
to deny the Angels the championship.
838
01:01:25,214 --> 01:01:29,652
The first of those crucial
games takes place right here...
839
01:01:30,887 --> 01:01:32,588
this afternoon.
840
01:01:36,292 --> 01:01:37,660
What's it say?
841
01:01:37,794 --> 01:01:39,562
- Thanks. 'Bye.
- Says the van's gonna pick us up at 12:00.
842
01:01:39,695 --> 01:01:41,664
Roger? Stupid thing.
843
01:01:41,798 --> 01:01:44,534
- Roger? That was your social worker.
- Huh?
844
01:01:44,667 --> 01:01:49,238
- What did she want?
- Your hearing's been changed to this afternoon.
845
01:01:49,605 --> 01:01:52,675
- But I got a game this afternoon.
- I know.
846
01:01:52,809 --> 01:01:56,879
I've just tried everything to get them
to reschedule. It's just not possible.
847
01:01:57,246 --> 01:01:59,282
Maggie, I'm not going.
848
01:02:00,716 --> 01:02:02,919
You don't have a choice, sweetheart.
849
01:02:03,052 --> 01:02:06,689
- Well, what about George? What about the angels...
- I'll call Mr. Knox.
850
01:02:06,823 --> 01:02:09,292
I know he thinks you guys
are his lucky charms...
851
01:02:09,425 --> 01:02:11,727
but this is just something you have to do.
852
01:02:12,128 --> 01:02:14,130
J.P. can go to the game...
853
01:02:14,230 --> 01:02:17,266
and we'll just try real hard to
get you there before it's over.
854
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:19,202
That's all I can do.
855
01:02:19,368 --> 01:02:24,006
Oh, man! What about the game?
856
01:02:25,107 --> 01:02:27,810
Attention youngsters, aged six to 16.
857
01:02:27,944 --> 01:02:30,413
Be sure to join the junior Angel fan club.
858
01:02:30,546 --> 01:02:35,685
For just $5.00, you'll receive game tickets,
baseball cards, a free autographed...
859
01:02:35,818 --> 01:02:37,954
The southern California sun is shining;
860
01:02:38,054 --> 01:02:40,623
The field is ready,
the hot dogs are warm...
861
01:02:40,756 --> 01:02:44,627
and there's not an empty seat in the house.
862
01:02:45,127 --> 01:02:47,029
Get your hot dogs!
863
01:02:47,797 --> 01:02:49,665
I know. I know. Don't even say it.
864
01:02:49,799 --> 01:02:51,567
A large Coke, two dogs, three Crackerjacks.
865
01:02:51,701 --> 01:02:54,237
And I was thinking of getting him a car.
And maybe a corporate jet...
866
01:02:54,337 --> 01:02:58,474
- Still no Roger.
- He'll be here any second.
867
01:02:58,674 --> 01:03:01,277
Of all the days to haul
the kid off to court.
868
01:03:01,410 --> 01:03:03,446
Why didn't Maggie say he
was sick or something?
869
01:03:03,546 --> 01:03:06,782
That'd be lying. Maggie would never lie.
870
01:03:06,883 --> 01:03:08,870
Well, Maggie's not in a pennant race.
871
01:03:08,933 --> 01:03:13,256
Number 19, third baseman, Bruce Shea.
872
01:03:15,091 --> 01:03:18,728
- Hey, you don't see anything, do you?
- Maybe.
873
01:03:26,836 --> 01:03:28,471
Hmm?
874
01:03:33,409 --> 01:03:35,311
Sorry.
875
01:03:37,246 --> 01:03:39,215
Oh, it's not your fault.
876
01:03:39,782 --> 01:03:41,517
You never seen angels before.
877
01:03:41,651 --> 01:03:46,222
- Why should you now?
- Hey, it could happen.
878
01:04:03,039 --> 01:04:05,141
You understand that
once this hearing...
879
01:04:05,274 --> 01:04:08,010
has established Roger's
permanent placement status...
880
01:04:08,110 --> 01:04:12,315
his welfare will forever forward
be determined by this court?
881
01:04:13,416 --> 01:04:17,753
- I understand.
- And you've consulted a lawyer?
882
01:04:19,422 --> 01:04:22,558
Look, lady, I get what I'm doing.
The kid's not mine anymore.
883
01:04:22,692 --> 01:04:24,327
I'm not proud of it.
884
01:04:24,727 --> 01:04:27,596
It's not something I can
change my mind about either.
885
01:04:32,468 --> 01:04:34,570
We're ready to see you now, Roger.
886
01:04:45,915 --> 01:04:47,350
Dad?
887
01:04:49,051 --> 01:04:51,053
Dad, I didn't know you
were going to be here.
888
01:04:51,187 --> 01:04:53,956
You know, the Angels are only one game
from the pennant? Can you believe it?
889
01:04:54,090 --> 01:04:56,292
It's just like you said
890
01:04:59,795 --> 01:05:02,932
- Sorry, boy.
- Dad?
891
01:05:03,466 --> 01:05:07,103
Hey, Dad, wh...
Did you hear what I said?
892
01:05:08,104 --> 01:05:10,072
Where are you going?
893
01:05:12,808 --> 01:05:14,477
Daddy?
894
01:05:22,485 --> 01:05:24,820
- Don't cry.
- Come back.
895
01:05:38,734 --> 01:05:41,537
- We lost.
- Don't cry.
896
01:05:41,670 --> 01:05:45,141
It-it's only a game. Come on,
you're getting snot all over the place.
897
01:05:45,274 --> 01:05:47,977
- It's nobody's fault.
- I tried to see angels.
898
01:05:48,110 --> 01:05:50,046
I-I really tried.
899
01:05:50,179 --> 01:05:52,348
I guess, without angels helping,
900
01:05:52,481 --> 01:05:54,950
this team doesn't have what it takes.
901
01:05:55,084 --> 01:05:57,653
Or maybe I just don't have what it takes.
902
01:05:57,787 --> 01:06:02,058
We could still win without the angels.
It could happen.
903
01:06:02,925 --> 01:06:04,360
Maybe.
904
01:06:04,460 --> 01:06:07,296
Uh, give me a minute, kid,
and I'll be out to take you home.
905
01:06:08,330 --> 01:06:09,999
Don't cry.
906
01:06:10,566 --> 01:06:12,268
No, we're not.
907
01:06:16,872 --> 01:06:18,741
Hey, put out that cigarette.
908
01:06:20,543 --> 01:06:22,144
Hey.
909
01:06:23,612 --> 01:06:25,848
I'm Ranch Wilder,
910
01:06:25,981 --> 01:06:29,085
the voice of the Angels.
911
01:06:31,253 --> 01:06:34,190
I know who you are.
I heard you on the radio.
912
01:06:34,657 --> 01:06:37,226
You sure do have a big chin.
913
01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:39,695
Everybody's a critic.
914
01:06:40,930 --> 01:06:42,465
So what's your name?
915
01:06:42,598 --> 01:06:46,035
- J.P.
- Well, J.P., that was a tough loss today, huh?
916
01:06:46,168 --> 01:06:49,705
Knox took it pretty hard.
He was getting kind of crazy out there.
917
01:06:49,839 --> 01:06:53,042
- 'Cause Roger couldn't come.
- I get it.
918
01:06:53,175 --> 01:06:55,111
So Roger's sort of lucky. Is that it?
919
01:06:55,211 --> 01:07:00,249
He sees the angels, the ones who help out.
He prayed for 'em.
920
01:07:00,382 --> 01:07:05,521
- Real angels?
- Yeah, but, I don't see 'em.
921
01:07:06,422 --> 01:07:09,425
And Knox, he sees them?
922
01:07:09,959 --> 01:07:13,896
No. Roger has to tell
him when they're around.
923
01:07:14,730 --> 01:07:16,532
Really?
924
01:07:19,401 --> 01:07:21,770
You know, by releasing you legally,
925
01:07:22,004 --> 01:07:25,407
it does make it possible for
somebody to take you permanently.
926
01:07:26,509 --> 01:07:28,711
He did that 'cause he
wants the best for you.
927
01:07:28,811 --> 01:07:32,915
Yeah. Giving someone away is a
great way to show 'em you care.
928
01:07:41,190 --> 01:07:43,125
Hey, Roger.
929
01:07:43,225 --> 01:07:45,161
Took a little longer than you expected.
930
01:07:45,261 --> 01:07:47,863
We waited three hours for his hearing.
931
01:07:47,963 --> 01:07:50,032
That's quick for family court.
932
01:07:50,166 --> 01:07:53,736
- What'd they decide?
- Oh, it's just a formality.
933
01:07:55,871 --> 01:07:58,541
He belongs to the State of California now.
934
01:08:01,310 --> 01:08:03,078
Scoot over.
935
01:08:15,191 --> 01:08:17,293
Roger, I'm sorry about today.
936
01:08:17,393 --> 01:08:21,197
Why? Because you lost
your stupid baseball game?
937
01:08:22,031 --> 01:08:25,267
No, because you're hurt.
938
01:08:25,634 --> 01:08:27,836
You don't know anything about it.
939
01:08:33,809 --> 01:08:35,611
You know, Roger, when I was growing up,
940
01:08:35,711 --> 01:08:38,047
I never saw very much of my dad.
941
01:08:38,614 --> 01:08:40,916
He couldn't take care of himself…
942
01:08:41,417 --> 01:08:43,786
so taking care of me and my brothers...
943
01:08:43,919 --> 01:08:45,988
was out of the question.
944
01:08:49,291 --> 01:08:52,928
I'm not sure the pain
that caused ever goes away.
945
01:08:54,163 --> 01:08:58,267
But I am sure you can't go through life...
946
01:08:58,367 --> 01:09:01,704
thinking everyone you meet
will one day let you down.
947
01:09:02,905 --> 01:09:07,643
Because, if you do,
a very bad thing will happen.
948
01:09:11,347 --> 01:09:13,315
You'll end up like me.
949
01:09:16,118 --> 01:09:18,387
I'm going inside.
950
01:09:19,555 --> 01:09:22,224
I thought you said you had to be somewhere.
951
01:09:23,826 --> 01:09:26,762
I do. Right here.
952
01:09:28,697 --> 01:09:31,333
- Yuck!
- You both wash your hands?
953
01:09:31,467 --> 01:09:35,237
- Yeah.
- Okay then, let's dig in.
954
01:09:37,206 --> 01:09:39,408
Next time I'll try lasagna.
955
01:09:39,575 --> 01:09:41,510
You guys like lasagna?
956
01:09:41,610 --> 01:09:44,179
- No. What is it?
- No. What is it?
957
01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:48,384
Look! It's God's thumbnail.
958
01:09:49,752 --> 01:09:52,154
That's just the moon, J.P.
959
01:09:53,222 --> 01:09:55,291
No God up there.
960
01:10:00,729 --> 01:10:02,965
I can't believe you said that.
961
01:10:03,265 --> 01:10:05,634
The kid who sees angels?
962
01:10:07,403 --> 01:10:10,172
I don't believe in angels anymore.
963
01:10:10,572 --> 01:10:14,977
- Roger, what are you talking about?
- That's okay, J.P...
964
01:10:15,678 --> 01:10:17,946
Roger's had a tough day.
965
01:10:45,474 --> 01:10:48,644
"The source says there's a boy
known as Roger...
966
01:10:48,777 --> 01:10:52,281
"who even watches games on TV
when the team is out of town...
967
01:10:52,414 --> 01:10:55,417
"and reports to manager Knox
over the phone."
968
01:10:55,584 --> 01:10:57,486
What's a source?
969
01:10:58,153 --> 01:11:01,023
- The person who told.
- Oh.
970
01:11:01,290 --> 01:11:04,026
"And when Mel Clark made his
amazing comeback in August,
971
01:11:04,126 --> 01:11:06,995
"it was Roger's, it was Roger's
idea to start him."
972
01:11:07,129 --> 01:11:10,866
- That's me.
- Who do you think told?
973
01:11:11,400 --> 01:11:12,968
I don't know.
974
01:11:13,102 --> 01:11:16,538
- Maybe David found out. I don't see how.
- Are we in trouble?
975
01:11:16,638 --> 01:11:18,741
Knox is in trouble, that's for sure.
976
01:11:18,874 --> 01:11:21,744
This is bad. Right?
977
01:11:22,144 --> 01:11:24,113
We're gonna have to tell Maggie.
978
01:11:27,649 --> 01:11:29,985
Right this way, Mr. Knox.
979
01:11:31,420 --> 01:11:33,655
You stood me up last night.
980
01:11:34,123 --> 01:11:38,560
What in the Sam Hill
is all this about real angels?
981
01:11:38,827 --> 01:11:41,497
- It's nothing.
- Start talkin'!
982
01:11:41,864 --> 01:11:44,700
Okay, I-I got these two kids...
983
01:11:44,833 --> 01:11:47,336
and I think of them as mascots.
984
01:11:48,637 --> 01:11:52,541
And... the angels, uh, well...
985
01:11:53,175 --> 01:11:55,911
it's just something that's
going on between me and them.
986
01:11:56,011 --> 01:11:58,847
You're telling me,
there's real angels in the ballpark?
987
01:11:58,981 --> 01:12:02,518
Sometimes,
but they're not in on all the plays.
988
01:12:03,051 --> 01:12:04,420
You've lost it, partner.
989
01:12:04,586 --> 01:12:09,992
Look, if I lied to you, then the angels
wouldn't like it and they might not come back.
990
01:12:10,125 --> 01:12:14,630
They're very... temperamental.
991
01:12:14,763 --> 01:12:17,266
"Mental" is the key word here.
992
01:12:17,566 --> 01:12:20,002
I'm sorry, George, but I'm relieving you...
993
01:12:20,102 --> 01:12:22,604
of your management responsibilities.
994
01:12:22,938 --> 01:12:24,573
You can't do that.
995
01:12:24,773 --> 01:12:26,909
We're only one game a way
996
01:12:27,576 --> 01:12:29,211
I'll tell you what.
997
01:12:29,411 --> 01:12:32,414
I'll give you 24 hours
to get your head on straight.
998
01:12:32,548 --> 01:12:34,616
Then I'll call a press conference...
999
01:12:35,050 --> 01:12:38,253
and you can publicly renounce this hogwash.
1000
01:12:38,887 --> 01:12:43,592
George, you repeat any of
the baloney I've heard here,
1001
01:12:43,725 --> 01:12:47,729
we're talking the end of
your career in baseball.
1002
01:12:48,130 --> 01:12:52,234
- Have I made myself clear?
- Yes.
1003
01:13:26,327 --> 01:13:29,490
What's going on, Knox? What's going on?
1004
01:13:32,875 --> 01:13:34,643
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
1005
01:13:34,743 --> 01:13:36,512
We're gonna make this short and sweet.
1006
01:13:36,612 --> 01:13:41,383
My manager, George Knox here, has
something he'd like to say to you. George?
1007
01:13:41,750 --> 01:13:44,486
I have a statement I'd like to read.
1008
01:13:45,387 --> 01:13:49,758
"There have been reports that
I've been using angels...
1009
01:13:49,858 --> 01:13:52,160
to help the team win."
1010
01:13:55,531 --> 01:13:57,533
Go on. Go in.
1011
01:14:13,148 --> 01:14:15,250
I was gonna read a statement...
1012
01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:20,589
but, instead, I'm gonna shoot from the hip.
1013
01:14:25,527 --> 01:14:28,697
You know, there are a
lot of times in sports...
1014
01:14:29,765 --> 01:14:34,903
when there's no logical
explanation why things happen.
1015
01:14:36,371 --> 01:14:39,141
Sometimes a player gets hot...
1016
01:14:39,374 --> 01:14:42,744
and goes beyond their physical ability.
1017
01:14:43,178 --> 01:14:46,348
Is it just adrenaline? I don't know.
1018
01:14:46,615 --> 01:14:49,618
But, I do believe there
are times in life...
1019
01:14:49,818 --> 01:14:53,689
where something stronger, higher,
1020
01:14:53,822 --> 01:14:56,992
or maybe spiritual is with us.
1021
01:14:57,125 --> 01:14:59,461
I can't explain it,
but something has happened...
1022
01:14:59,595 --> 01:15:01,163
to my players this year.
1023
01:15:01,296 --> 01:15:05,701
Something that's changed
the way they play...
1024
01:15:06,635 --> 01:15:08,737
and the way I manage.
1025
01:15:08,937 --> 01:15:12,774
You can call it faith.
You can call it angels.
1026
01:15:12,908 --> 01:15:15,410
You can call it whatever you want.
1027
01:15:17,746 --> 01:15:19,615
That's all I have to say.
1028
01:15:19,748 --> 01:15:23,251
George, does this mean you really think...
1029
01:15:23,385 --> 01:15:27,189
that a kid sees angels at your games?
1030
01:15:29,658 --> 01:15:31,226
Excuse me.
1031
01:15:31,393 --> 01:15:33,829
I'd, uh, I'd like to say something...
1032
01:15:33,962 --> 01:15:36,264
on behalf of George Knox.
1033
01:15:36,398 --> 01:15:39,034
Uh, what's your name?
What's your business here?
1034
01:15:39,334 --> 01:15:43,839
My name is Maggie Nelson.
I take care of foster kids.
1035
01:15:44,106 --> 01:15:48,543
One of these boys is, uh,
the child who can see angels.
1036
01:15:49,444 --> 01:15:52,581
He could stand up right now and
tell you exactly what's happened...
1037
01:15:52,714 --> 01:15:54,683
And I know you'd just laugh at him.
1038
01:15:54,983 --> 01:15:57,953
But, when a professional football player...
1039
01:15:58,086 --> 01:16:02,924
drops to one knee to thank God after making
a touchdown, nobody laughs at that.
1040
01:16:03,058 --> 01:16:07,929
Or when a pitcher crosses himself before
going to the mound, nobody laughs at that.
1041
01:16:08,063 --> 01:16:13,068
Seems like you're saying it's okay to believe
in God, but it's not okay to believe in angels.
1042
01:16:13,402 --> 01:16:15,771
Now, I thought they were on the same team.
1043
01:16:15,871 --> 01:16:19,975
Is it your belief, ma'am,
that, uh, angels play baseball?
1044
01:16:20,108 --> 01:16:22,978
Since the all-star break, yes!
1045
01:16:27,115 --> 01:16:30,185
We all need somebody to watch out for us.
1046
01:16:30,819 --> 01:16:33,422
Every kid I have ever taken care of...
1047
01:16:33,555 --> 01:16:37,059
Has been looking for
someone to love: An angel.
1048
01:16:37,526 --> 01:16:41,063
You've got to have faith.
You've got to believe.
1049
01:16:41,196 --> 01:16:44,800
You've got to look inside yourself.
1050
01:16:45,434 --> 01:16:48,270
The footprints of an angel are love.
1051
01:16:48,403 --> 01:16:52,307
And where there is love,
miraculous things can happen.
1052
01:16:52,808 --> 01:16:54,810
I've seen it.
1053
01:16:56,244 --> 01:16:58,480
I'd also like to say something.
1054
01:16:59,347 --> 01:17:02,751
I don't know if there
are angels out there...
1055
01:17:02,884 --> 01:17:05,721
other than the 25 of us in uniform.
1056
01:17:06,321 --> 01:17:09,391
But I know there is one thing I won't do.
1057
01:17:09,691 --> 01:17:14,496
I won't play for anyone but George Knox.
I believe in him.
1058
01:17:19,234 --> 01:17:21,136
That goes for me too.
1059
01:17:37,552 --> 01:17:40,455
Thank you.
All of you.
1060
01:17:45,494 --> 01:17:46,895
Print what you want.
1061
01:17:46,995 --> 01:17:50,432
George Knox is the
manager of the ball club.
1062
01:17:51,266 --> 01:17:57,205
And, if there are any angels out
there, I sure hope they're on our side.
1063
01:17:59,975 --> 01:18:03,912
- Oh, yeah!
- Yeah! Yes!
1064
01:18:10,852 --> 01:18:13,588
Good evening, everyone,
and welcome to downtown Anaheim...
1065
01:18:13,688 --> 01:18:15,924
where there are no seats
left in sports heaven...
1066
01:18:16,057 --> 01:18:19,961
as a sellout crowd fills the ballpark
for the final game of the season.
1067
01:18:20,095 --> 01:18:23,231
Tonight, George Knox will send his Angels,
1068
01:18:23,365 --> 01:18:27,135
real or imagined,
out against a tough White Sox team...
1069
01:18:27,235 --> 01:18:30,739
to determine who will be the
Western Division champion.
1070
01:18:30,872 --> 01:18:34,042
When I came here this season,
I didn't believe in you guys.
1071
01:18:34,776 --> 01:18:36,778
I didn't believe in anything.
1072
01:18:36,912 --> 01:18:41,082
But, when you stood up this morning,
you gave me back my reason to believe.
1073
01:18:41,216 --> 01:18:44,820
I'm more proud of being a part of
this team than any team I've been on.
1074
01:18:44,953 --> 01:18:47,455
You're all winners and I believe in you!
1075
01:18:47,556 --> 01:18:50,592
So let's go out there and show
them what winners can do!
1076
01:18:50,725 --> 01:18:52,961
- Let's take that championship!
- Yeah!
1077
01:18:53,094 --> 01:18:56,131
Yeah! All right!
You look fantastic!
1078
01:18:57,065 --> 01:18:59,467
Okay, you heard him.
Let's go!
1079
01:18:59,601 --> 01:19:03,638
Ladies and gentlemen,
your California Angels!
1080
01:19:08,677 --> 01:19:11,546
Starting pitcher for the
Angels in this crucial game...
1081
01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:13,882
is the veteran Mel Clark.
1082
01:19:14,015 --> 01:19:15,250
- Yeah!
- All right!
1083
01:19:15,383 --> 01:19:19,387
He's been their big-game guy since
he returned to the lineup in July.
1084
01:19:21,156 --> 01:19:23,491
So Clarks had a rocky
start here in the first.
1085
01:19:23,592 --> 01:19:27,629
He's got runners on second and third
with two outs and Darren at bat.
1086
01:19:32,968 --> 01:19:34,903
Darren drives the ball to left.
1087
01:19:35,036 --> 01:19:38,306
It's fair! One run will
score and here comes Cooper!
1088
01:19:38,440 --> 01:19:40,876
Norton gets to it. It's gonna be close.
Here comes the ball!
1089
01:19:40,976 --> 01:19:43,278
Cooper slides.
He's safe!
1090
01:19:43,345 --> 01:19:48,250
The fans don't like the call, but the Sox go up
2-0 and we 're still in the top of the first.
1091
01:19:48,383 --> 01:19:50,719
You got 'im now! Go, go, yeah!
1092
01:19:50,852 --> 01:19:53,455
Clark pitches to Young.
1093
01:19:53,588 --> 01:19:57,692
He loops one over second base
and here comes Garcia!
1094
01:19:57,859 --> 01:20:02,397
Whoa! Garcia makes a spectacular
save to end the inning.
1095
01:20:03,698 --> 01:20:06,501
With the Angels behind 2-0,
Clark's really struggling.
1096
01:20:06,635 --> 01:20:08,103
And with one out in the top
of the fifth...
1097
01:20:08,236 --> 01:20:11,573
and a man on first and second,
Beasley comes to bat.
1098
01:20:12,207 --> 01:20:15,243
Anybody got any, uh... you know?
1099
01:20:19,714 --> 01:20:24,019
No question he's tiring, Wally,
and Knox knows it. Ball one.
1100
01:20:25,553 --> 01:20:29,357
You had to expect this. They're
getting Tiller up now in the bullpen.
1101
01:20:37,699 --> 01:20:40,135
- Oh, Mitchell makes a great play...
- Yeah!
1102
01:20:40,235 --> 01:20:42,470
- And gets the force at third.
- All right! All right!
1103
01:20:42,604 --> 01:20:45,573
- All right! All right!
- Go, baby, come on!
1104
01:20:45,674 --> 01:20:49,377
Here in the sixth, Garcia's on
first with a single as the Angels...
1105
01:20:49,511 --> 01:20:52,213
try to battle their way back
into the ball game.
1106
01:20:53,949 --> 01:20:55,684
That brings up Ray Mitchell.
1107
01:20:55,784 --> 01:20:58,954
Ray's been hot as wildfire the second
half of this miraculous season...
1108
01:20:59,054 --> 01:21:03,925
But, as many of you know, in the past Mitchell
has choked when it came to pressure situations.
1109
01:21:04,025 --> 01:21:08,096
You got this one, Ray!
You hear me? You can do it!
1110
01:21:15,971 --> 01:21:17,839
Mitchell connects!
1111
01:21:18,139 --> 01:21:22,377
- It's hit deep!
- Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
1112
01:21:22,510 --> 01:21:25,113
And it's gone!
1113
01:21:25,246 --> 01:21:27,315
- Ray Mitchell has just hit...
- All right! Yeah!
1114
01:21:27,449 --> 01:21:31,820
A monster home run with a man on
to tie the game here in the sixth.
1115
01:21:31,953 --> 01:21:34,222
Hey! Whoo!
All right!
1116
01:21:45,834 --> 01:21:47,769
Don't you stop!
1117
01:21:49,237 --> 01:21:51,539
Clark has his back to the
wall here in the seventh...
1118
01:21:51,602 --> 01:21:54,525
as the Sox are threatening again
with two men on base.
1119
01:21:54,556 --> 01:21:55,852
Okay, we're holding our own.
1120
01:21:55,877 --> 01:22:00,048
Holding our own. Holding our own.
Go! Hang in there!
1121
01:22:00,181 --> 01:22:02,417
Clark definitely could use an angel now...
1122
01:22:02,550 --> 01:22:05,120
as he's tiring late in the game.
1123
01:22:11,426 --> 01:22:13,795
Yeah! Yeah.
1124
01:22:13,829 --> 01:22:15,538
There seems to be some sort of magic...
1125
01:22:15,563 --> 01:22:17,832
In the way his team is
supporting him, Ranch.
1126
01:22:21,302 --> 01:22:25,373
- Hey, kid. How you doin'?
- Fine. Al!
1127
01:22:25,507 --> 01:22:29,611
- Hey, kiddo, sharp outfit. I wish I had one.
- Thanks.
1128
01:22:30,245 --> 01:22:33,114
Gee, I am glad to see you.
You know, I was afraid you guys...
1129
01:22:33,248 --> 01:22:36,851
wouldn't show up today since, you know,
a lot of people know about the angels now.
1130
01:22:36,985 --> 01:22:38,286
No one's coming.
1131
01:22:38,420 --> 01:22:42,791
Championships have to be won on their own.
It's a rule.
1132
01:22:43,358 --> 01:22:46,628
Oh. Well, then, what are you doing here?
1133
01:22:46,761 --> 01:22:48,596
I came here to check on Mel.
1134
01:22:48,696 --> 01:22:50,298
He's comin' up soon.
1135
01:22:50,432 --> 01:22:53,701
- He's gonna be one of us.
- Y-You mean he's...
1136
01:22:53,835 --> 01:22:57,705
Ah, he smoked for years.
It's always a mistake.
1137
01:22:57,939 --> 01:22:59,507
He's got six months left.
1138
01:22:59,607 --> 01:23:02,077
Doesn't know anything's wrong yet.
1139
01:23:04,979 --> 01:23:07,449
- No.
- Don't you worry.
1140
01:23:07,582 --> 01:23:12,287
He's well taken care of.
You concentrate on your own life now.
1141
01:23:12,420 --> 01:23:14,756
We expect great things from you, kid.
1142
01:23:14,889 --> 01:23:17,992
We'll all be watching. You remember that.
1143
01:23:18,126 --> 01:23:22,297
Even though you can't see
us, we're always watching.
1144
01:23:37,679 --> 01:23:40,048
Come on, Angels! Angels!
1145
01:23:40,148 --> 01:23:42,383
With a man on and one out in the eighth,
1146
01:23:42,517 --> 01:23:45,053
Clark is showing definite
signs of fatigue...
1147
01:23:45,186 --> 01:23:47,889
- as he pitches to March.
- Come on, March. Put it here, man.
1148
01:23:49,290 --> 01:23:51,226
Ball three.
1149
01:23:53,328 --> 01:23:57,599
- Take your time, Clark.
- Get ready to go, guys!
1150
01:23:58,066 --> 01:24:00,001
Easy, Mel.
1151
01:24:04,339 --> 01:24:07,609
Here's the pitch.
And March grounds to Martinez.
1152
01:24:07,709 --> 01:24:11,045
They get Darren at second.
Garcia throws. Double play!
1153
01:24:11,146 --> 01:24:12,580
- Yeah!
- Yeah! Yeah!
1154
01:24:12,714 --> 01:24:16,584
And once again,
solid defense bails Clark out of a jam!
1155
01:24:17,785 --> 01:24:19,554
How'd you like that, Coach?
1156
01:24:19,687 --> 01:24:22,090
Oh, way to go!
Way to go! Hey!
1157
01:24:23,291 --> 01:24:25,460
It's still tied up here in
the bottom of the eighth,
1158
01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:30,832
but the Angels have Garcia at bat and
Martinez on third with the go-ahead run.
1159
01:24:31,065 --> 01:24:34,402
Martinez goes on the pitch.
Garcia bunts!
1160
01:24:34,502 --> 01:24:37,605
And it's a squeeze play!
Here's the throw
1161
01:24:37,739 --> 01:24:42,043
Martinez scores!
And the Angels take the lead!
1162
01:24:42,177 --> 01:24:44,045
Yeah!
1163
01:24:46,714 --> 01:24:48,616
Yeah!
1164
01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:54,956
Yeah!
All right!
1165
01:25:05,767 --> 01:25:10,371
Messmer pops out to
Gaboyan to end the inning.
1166
01:25:11,005 --> 01:25:14,342
So as we enter the ninth, the Angels are
only three outs away from the pennant...
1167
01:25:14,475 --> 01:25:17,245
if they can just hold on to this 3-2 lead.
1168
01:25:17,912 --> 01:25:20,281
- Hey, Mel.
- Hey, Mel, you're my dad's favorite player!
1169
01:25:20,415 --> 01:25:22,183
- Let's finish this.
- We got 'em.
1170
01:25:22,317 --> 01:25:24,385
All right. All right. Three outs, boys.
1171
01:25:24,519 --> 01:25:26,654
- Let's do it!
- So with the championship on the line,
1172
01:25:26,754 --> 01:25:29,791
manager George Knox elects
to send a tired Mel Clark...
1173
01:25:29,924 --> 01:25:32,860
out to face the heart
of the White Sox lineup.
1174
01:25:33,661 --> 01:25:37,332
- He's all alone.
- Let's go. Come on, Angels.
1175
01:25:39,901 --> 01:25:44,372
Don't worry. He'll get an angel.
Mel always gets an angel.
1176
01:25:49,944 --> 01:25:53,114
Clark takes the sign for
his first pitch to Gasper.
1177
01:25:54,249 --> 01:25:56,351
Let's see if he has anything left.
1178
01:25:57,552 --> 01:25:59,721
Gasper gets a piece of it!
1179
01:26:01,356 --> 01:26:07,028
And it falls in for a single!
The tying run is now on first.
1180
01:26:16,971 --> 01:26:18,940
All right.
1181
01:26:20,575 --> 01:26:23,378
We need Sanford. Get him ready.
1182
01:26:27,181 --> 01:26:30,151
They're getting Sanford up in the bullpen.
1183
01:26:39,994 --> 01:26:41,429
He bunts!
1184
01:26:41,562 --> 01:26:44,465
Clark fields it cleanly and
gets the runner at first,
1185
01:26:44,599 --> 01:26:49,203
- but Gasper advances to second on the sacrifice.
- All right! One down!
1186
01:26:49,304 --> 01:26:54,108
White Sox now have the tying run in
scoring position with Darren at bat.
1187
01:26:57,845 --> 01:27:01,215
It's in the hole! Garcia dives! He gets it!
1188
01:27:01,349 --> 01:27:04,218
The throw is off-balance.
Not in time!
1189
01:27:04,352 --> 01:27:06,521
- Safe! He's safe.
- Are you sure?
1190
01:27:06,654 --> 01:27:12,360
Gasper is held on second, but the go-ahead
run is now on first with only one away.
1191
01:27:20,034 --> 01:27:22,370
Hey, Knox, wake up!
1192
01:27:22,904 --> 01:27:25,973
Clark looks very tired.
1193
01:27:27,175 --> 01:27:30,945
Gaboyan swings and smashes
it deep to left center!
1194
01:27:31,079 --> 01:27:35,516
This is trouble!
Williams got a good jump on the ball!
1195
01:27:37,618 --> 01:27:40,021
- Somebody better take charge!
- I got it!
1196
01:27:42,557 --> 01:27:45,927
And Ben Williams saves the game for now...
1197
01:27:46,060 --> 01:27:49,964
- with a spectacular catch!
- And a great throw to hold the runner at third.
1198
01:27:50,064 --> 01:27:51,799
Try it!
1199
01:28:07,382 --> 01:28:12,286
Oh! And he hits Birch in
the back on the first pitch.
1200
01:28:12,453 --> 01:28:14,956
That loads the bases.
1201
01:28:15,356 --> 01:28:19,927
And Kesey, the league R.B.I.
leader, is up next.
1202
01:28:21,429 --> 01:28:26,467
Number 32, Kit "Hit or Die" Kesey
1203
01:28:35,042 --> 01:28:38,179
I can't believe he's
leaving Clark in the game.
1204
01:28:38,312 --> 01:28:40,281
Any hit scores a run.
1205
01:28:40,415 --> 01:28:44,252
- There's an angel there now, right?
- No.
1206
01:28:49,857 --> 01:28:52,427
The runners take their leads.
1207
01:28:56,964 --> 01:29:00,568
And Kesey got a good piece
of that one, but it's foul.
1208
01:29:00,701 --> 01:29:02,670
We've got one strike.
1209
01:29:08,843 --> 01:29:11,846
Sanford is ready in the bullpen.
1210
01:29:27,328 --> 01:29:30,898
- Ball one!
- His arm has to be tired.
1211
01:29:31,032 --> 01:29:33,634
He's thrown 156 pitches.
1212
01:29:46,147 --> 01:29:49,784
- Ball two!
- There's one coming, right, Roger?
1213
01:29:49,917 --> 01:29:54,388
I don't know, J.P...
I... I don't think so.
1214
01:29:58,726 --> 01:30:03,831
And Clark just misses nicking Kesey
and the count goes to 3 and 1.
1215
01:30:04,065 --> 01:30:06,467
He's way behind the batter now.
1216
01:30:07,301 --> 01:30:11,305
- Any angels?
- No.
1217
01:30:19,947 --> 01:30:23,551
And Kesey jumps on it!
This could be the game!
1218
01:30:24,452 --> 01:30:26,487
It's deep!
It's down the line!
1219
01:30:26,621 --> 01:30:29,357
If it stays fair, it's outta here!
1220
01:30:29,690 --> 01:30:32,059
- It's gonna be close.
- Foul, foul, foul!
1221
01:30:33,127 --> 01:30:34,729
But it's foul.
1222
01:30:34,862 --> 01:30:38,132
It comes down to a full count.
Two outs, the top of the ninth.
1223
01:30:38,232 --> 01:30:41,269
The Angels lead by one
run, and for Mel Clark,
1224
01:30:41,402 --> 01:30:43,704
this is the pressure cooker!
1225
01:30:44,372 --> 01:30:49,911
- I gotta take him out.
- No. Please, just let him try.
1226
01:30:50,044 --> 01:30:52,847
He's all used up.
He can't do it by himself.
1227
01:30:52,980 --> 01:30:54,615
Yes, he can.
1228
01:30:55,349 --> 01:30:57,985
All he has to do is believe.
1229
01:31:28,683 --> 01:31:31,786
And Knox will pull Mel Clark.
1230
01:31:32,019 --> 01:31:36,824
All I can say is, it's about time.
1231
01:31:48,903 --> 01:31:50,538
I got nothing left.
1232
01:31:50,671 --> 01:31:54,008
Yeah, you do. You got one strike left.
1233
01:32:04,619 --> 01:32:06,887
You got an angel with you right now.
1234
01:32:06,988 --> 01:32:09,924
Just got here and he's gonna help.
1235
01:32:28,309 --> 01:32:33,147
- Kid sees an angel?
- Yeah, he must. That's the signal.
1236
01:33:13,688 --> 01:33:15,656
Could happen.
1237
01:33:46,320 --> 01:33:47,888
Okay.
1238
01:33:49,490 --> 01:33:51,826
Go get him for the championship.
1239
01:33:51,959 --> 01:33:53,994
All right!
1240
01:33:54,161 --> 01:33:56,330
- Come on!
- Come on, Mel!
1241
01:33:56,464 --> 01:33:58,365
- Come on, Mel!
- He still has it!
1242
01:33:58,466 --> 01:34:00,267
Ladies and gentlemen, I don't believe it,
1243
01:34:00,401 --> 01:34:03,804
Knox will let Clark stay
in to pitch to Kesey.
1244
01:34:03,938 --> 01:34:08,542
This is not smart baseball
This is ridiculous...
1245
01:34:15,449 --> 01:34:17,551
Let's go, my brother. Come on.
1246
01:35:13,007 --> 01:35:16,243
He's got it and it's over! He's got it!
1247
01:35:16,343 --> 01:35:21,048
- I can't believe it!
- The Angels win the pennant! We won!
1248
01:35:21,182 --> 01:35:24,718
- All right, J.P.! We won, we won!
- Yea! Yeah!
1249
01:35:27,254 --> 01:35:31,625
- There are angels!
- Not this time, Mel. You did it yourself.
1250
01:35:32,960 --> 01:35:35,996
- We won! We won!
- Yeah!
1251
01:35:48,108 --> 01:35:51,712
- Yeah! Yeah!
- We won!
1252
01:35:52,746 --> 01:35:54,715
- All right!
- Yeah!
1253
01:35:54,849 --> 01:35:56,951
- Whoo!
- Yeah!
1254
01:35:58,352 --> 01:36:00,788
I can't believe it!
1255
01:36:01,155 --> 01:36:02,790
Ranch.
1256
01:36:03,657 --> 01:36:06,594
- You're fired.
- You can't fire me!
1257
01:36:06,727 --> 01:36:08,629
I got a contract!
1258
01:36:08,729 --> 01:36:11,031
I'm Ranch Wilder!
1259
01:36:11,165 --> 01:36:14,468
Easy, Ranch. Less is more.
1260
01:36:15,002 --> 01:36:17,938
And the Angels have won it!
1261
01:36:27,681 --> 01:36:30,584
- Maggie! Maggie! We won!
- Maggie!
1262
01:36:32,486 --> 01:36:34,455
- We won!
- We won!
1263
01:36:34,588 --> 01:36:38,959
- I know. I heard. Oh, congratulations.
- The Angels won the pennant!
1264
01:36:39,093 --> 01:36:42,830
It's great! Well done!
1265
01:36:43,163 --> 01:36:47,401
- Oh, Roger, your social worker called.
- She did?
1266
01:36:49,003 --> 01:36:51,305
- What they want?
- Was it about my father?
1267
01:36:51,438 --> 01:36:54,875
No, but it is about finding
you a permanent home.
1268
01:36:56,443 --> 01:36:58,612
Oh, J.P., come back.
1269
01:36:58,746 --> 01:37:01,682
J.P., come back!
1270
01:37:06,487 --> 01:37:11,692
You know, nothing's probably ever
as good as your real parents.
1271
01:37:12,793 --> 01:37:17,031
But there's some people
who could care for you...
1272
01:37:17,131 --> 01:37:19,400
and love you and take care of you.
1273
01:37:19,533 --> 01:37:22,670
Yeah.
I guess so.
1274
01:37:25,239 --> 01:37:26,907
Yeah.
1275
01:37:28,943 --> 01:37:33,047
Roger, the person
who called social service,
1276
01:37:33,247 --> 01:37:34,915
that was me.
1277
01:37:35,783 --> 01:37:37,985
I want to try and be your dad.
1278
01:37:38,185 --> 01:37:40,721
I want you to come
and live at my house.
1279
01:37:40,988 --> 01:37:43,457
You want... you want...
1280
01:37:47,194 --> 01:37:48,829
You okay, honey?
1281
01:37:51,498 --> 01:37:54,301
No way.
I-I can't.
1282
01:37:55,936 --> 01:37:58,772
You know, I can't leave J.P.
1283
01:37:59,840 --> 01:38:03,277
I can never leave J.P. He's coming too.
1284
01:38:03,344 --> 01:38:05,746
- He is?
- I heard that.
1285
01:38:07,848 --> 01:38:09,550
Yeah!
1286
01:38:14,955 --> 01:38:17,624
- Wait, what about Maggie?
- No.
1287
01:38:17,691 --> 01:38:20,794
My work is here. Don't worry.
1288
01:38:20,861 --> 01:38:23,864
There are plenty of little
angels looking for a home.
1289
01:38:23,964 --> 01:38:28,102
- So... so we're gonna be a family.
- Yep.
1290
01:38:29,370 --> 01:38:31,772
I'm gonna have a daddy.
1291
01:38:37,411 --> 01:38:39,813
I knew it could happen.
1292
01:38:52,059 --> 01:38:54,728
We're always watching.
