Four Days in October (2010)
Genres Documentary
Themes Sports films, Baseball films, Documentary films about sports
Lorsque la soirée du 16 octobre 2004 toucha à sa fin, la malédiction du Bambino était bien vivante. La fameuse équipe des Yankee, menée par Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter et Gary Sheffield, avait accumulé trois parties d'avance en championnat, et 19 runs face à leurs rivaux de toujours. Le soir suivant, lors du 4ème match, les Yankees menaient 4-3 à la fin du neuvième tour de batte, et laissèrent la partie à Mariano Rivera, le meilleur lanceur de relève d'après-saison de toute l'histoire, pour assurer leur ticket pour les Séries mondiales. Mais après un but sur balles et un but difficilement volé, le vent froid d'octobre commença à souffler. Pendant quatre journées et soirées consécutives, ce groupe invraisemblable des Red Sox réussit miraculeusement à gagner quatre parties d'affilée et à déjouer leur inévitable destin.

César Faz (Clifton Collins, Jr.), moves to Monterrey, Mexico after he is let go by the St. Louis Cardinals from his job as a clubhouse attendant. There he meets local children being led by Padre Esteban (Cheech Marin), enjoying baseball; he takes pitcher Ángel Macías (Jake T. Austin), under his wing and brags about his own pitching skills and how he used to coach the Cardinals. Ángel convinces César to help recruit and coach Monterrey's first-ever Little League team. With César's skills and Padre Esteban's support, the boys hone themselves into a competitive team worthy of international competition. At the final game of the World Series of Little League, Monterrey defeated the team of West La Mesa, California 4-0. Enrique Suárez (Jansen Panettiere), hit a grand slam home run, and Ángel Macías pitched a perfect game, a feat that has not since been repeated in Little League World Series history.

Themes Sports films, Baseball films, Documentary films about sports, Films about disabilities
Baseball of the 19th century was America's most popular spectator sport. Professional teams like the 1889 Brooklyn Bridegrooms drew nearly a half a million fans per season. Thousands of fans attended some of the earliest known games, but without the benefit of the signals on the diamond to tell them what was happening on the field. There were no signals for strike, safe, out or foul and no announcer to interpret the game. Prior to the invention of baseball signs, the only signal was the umpire's voice, often drowned out by the roar of thousands of excited fans. Signs of the Time explores the origins of this innovation and the baseball pioneers that changed the course of the game and history.

His neighbors gather to welcome him back for the weekend; the children ask him for extra baseballs or an old glove. 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 some time ago, he has started to build his family a new house—one that has a bigger kitchen for his mom and a separate room for his grandmother.
