Dominican baseball documentary

Hi Everyone,

I am the producer of a documentary about baseball in the Dominican Republic and I wanted to spread the word about a film that I think you'll really enjoy. It is called ROAD TO THE BIG LEAGUES and it is all about the journey for Dominican born baseball players that are trying to make it to the BIg Leagues.

The film follows superstars like Big Papi and Vladimir Guerrero but it's main focus is on the young ball payers that are trying to make it to the pros today (i.e HOOP DREAMS). Anyway, to see the trailer and check out the DVD go to http://www.roadtothebigleagues.com

Thanks for your time and if you watch it I'd love to hear your thoughts!

CARDINALS/DOMINICAN BASEBALL DOCUMENTARY

Hey everyone,

I am the producer of a documentary that I think you'll like. The film is about baseball in the Dominican Republic and shows what it is like for players like Pujols, Big Papi and others to make it the pros. I think Cardinals fans will particularly like this film because we spent some time at the Cardinals Dominican Camp and give an inside look at your farm system.

Anyway, the film gives you a different perspective on the game that I think a lot of you will enjoy. You can get see the trailer and get the DVD here: http://www.roadtothebigleagues.com

I'd love to hear your thoughts...

Father's day gift!

Hey Everyone,

There is a new film out about baseball in the Dominican Republic that might interest you Sox fans. The film is a feature length documentary inspired by films like HOOP DREAMS and REMEMBER THE TITANS. It's about the journey for Dominican born baseball players that are trying to get to the Big Leagues and I think it shows a side of the game that few have seen before.

The film is called ROAD TO THE BIG LEAGUES and it features Big Papi as well as spends some time at the Red Sox dominican camp. Dan Roche called the film "A must have film if you are a fan of baseball".

To check out the trailer go to http://www.roadtothebigleagues.com

Enjoy!
