In the pews of San Juan Bautista Church, Angel Macias and other boys of Monterreys slums try to escape the dismal conditions that surround them. Hunger, broken homes, alcoholic parents, dirt floors, corrugated shacks for houses life holds anything but promise for these forsaken children. But there is one ray of light. After Mass on Sundays, their priest gathers them around an old radio where they listen to Spanish broadcasts of the Brooklyn Dodgers.

A chance encounter with the Mexico City All-Star traveling team inspires Angel and his friends to form an organized Little League team. Their dream: to play one real game in the United States. But first they must build a field and convince the reluctant Cesar Faz to coach them. Averaging thirty pounds lighter and six inches shorter than their American counterparts, the boys journey to Texas for the first round of the 1957 Little League Tournament.

With a three day visa and barely enough money to last that long, they ready to play their one game. But a different destiny awaits them.

The Perfect Game is a timeless tale of faith and the human spirits ability to overcome all adversity in pursuit of a dream.
