This film  made me open my eyes on how i see things because Miguel was struggling and still ended up somewhere in life even though his dream he wanted to do was ruined. This shows that life can throw anything at you and that everything going to end up working out eventually even if you accomplish what you want in life its always a second choice in what you might wanna do. Miguel , didn't speak good English but he tried because everything was so new to him. To his family, who lost their father years before,The family is counting on him . With the small bonus he earned when he signed with the academy he has started to build his family a new home. 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.
