However it is not just that day we won the title, but the whole experience of the preceding season that got us there. From start to finish, my team’s 2004-2005 season taught me that the platitude is true. You can do anything you set your mind to.

There is one major problem with them though; there are never enough enrollment slots to accommodate all children. Therefore as stated earlier, most of these children’s futures are determined by luck alone. The finale of the film is a heartbreaking scene.

The book has to deal with baseball scouts looking for talented players. There are three good players on the Rosemont Rockets, Dave, Glen and Roberto. They try to focus on the game throughout the story, basically. The main characters are of course, Dave, Glen, and Roberto. They are the people in the story that has the front row seat, the ones that the book is based off of, so yeah. I would say, their conflicts are mainly just trying to focus on the game of baseball.

They do play baseball but at the same time, they do have a life so they aren't able to

In Virginia, it was very hard for a black student to receive a diploma because of the lack of education they received in their schools. Unless they attended a private school, which black children seldom did, they did not receive the same education as white students. Robert Russa Moton High School was one of the first and only schools for blacks in Prince Edward County (Heinemann). This school was built in 1939 to hold 180 students, and it lacked in many common things one may find at a white high school, like a gymnasium, cafeteria, science labs, and sports fields (Heinemann). About ten years later, because the number of students grew from 180 to 400, they built small buildings made of plywood and tarpaper instead of building a new school.
