Baseball Mania
On Sunday, June 17, After-
Church-in-the-Park will show it's
second film of the summer,
"Baseball Mania."
From Babe Ruth, “The Sultan
of Swat," to Roger Clemens,
“The King of Strikeouts”, from
the crack of the bat to the roar of
the crowd, from sandlots to
Fenway Park, “Baseball Mania"
transports you from goofs to
greatness on the diamond
Beyond the beseiged umps,
tornado tempered managers,
players that leap beyond the
grasp of gravity and even a skunk
patrolling centerfield, “Baseball
Mania" looks beneath the cheers
to the faith that inspires the men
behind the bats.
"Baseball Mania” features
players from many of the Major
Leagues including the New York
Mets, the Boston Red Socks, the
Los Agneles Dodgers, and the
San Diego Padres. Players
discuss their professional skills
and spiritual struggles with the
lure of drugs, money, fame and
success. "Baseball Mania" is
hilarious pro-ball action with a
heart-touching Christian
message Come join the fun!
This film will be shown at the
Tryon High Open Air Gym at 9
