This film was very inspiring to me only because Miguel has showed people his struggles and still ended up somewhere in life even though his main dream was ruined. This shows that life is not a disappointment and that everything works out eventually even if you cant get exactly what you want . Miguel , a non speaking  English young man enjoys a kind of celebrity status. To his family, who lost their father years before, Miguel is their hope and shining star. With the small bonus he earned when he signed with the academy he has started to build his family a new house . He is assigned to their Single A affiliate in Iowa, the Swing. He has met the Wiggins family which took him in for a place top stay since they bring in Swing players every year. Jorge (Rufino), a veteran player and the only other Dominican on the team, also tries to help Miguel learn the ropes. However, the Higgins' welcoming efforts and Jorge's guidance, the challenge of Miguel's acceptance into the community is exposed in small ways every day, from his struggle to communicate in English to an accident at a local bar. Miguel is now injured and starting to question why he is like that . While Miguel is on the disabled list , Jorge, his one familiar connection to home in this strange new place, is cut from the team, never fully regaining his ability following off-season knee surgery. As his dream begins to fall apart, Miguel decides to leave baseball to follow another dream of his. His odyssey finally brings him to New York City, where at first he struggles to find community and make a new home for himself, like so many before him. Miguel ends up playing baseball with rejected players from the minor leagues.
