I just watched a documentary on PBS (here at work) called Small Ball: A Little League Story...great stuff. It's about the Aptos all star team from, I believe, northern California...and their road to the little league world series in Pennsylvania.
I'm not a fan of sports at all really, but this is one of the best programs I have ever seen on PBS, and, yes, I found myself a bit teary eyed during the film. It's hard to sit her and not be on edge, waiting to see if these kids will win this game, or if they'll come back after being scored on and losing the lead. You can't help but root for the kids, even if you have no desire to watch an actual game itself.
Anyhow, you should check out this film if it's playing tonight on your PBS station (most stations should be carrying it, since it's coming off the main PBS network and not videotape or anything.)
