I'm not a sports girl. I know nothing about football despite the fact that I have lived my entire life here in Texas where football is the national sport.
Why then, you might ask, do you love not one but two Cybils nominees that are sports stories?
It's the power of the story. This story is every baseball dad's dream: a baseball team composed of twelve brothers. That's enough boys to populate the whole field with three left on the bench. And not only did this team of brothers play together, but they played together nicely.
You just can't help but being captivated by the little stories about all the brothers, as they form their own semi-pro team and draw crowds, as they disband for the duration of the war and fight for their country, as they return home from war safely and once again do what they do best, play ball.
