Synopsis

The plot involves the two most valuable rookies in the big league who are found to be using steroids. As a result, their promising future as big time baseball stars in the major leagues goes down the drain. Alex, played by Luis López, is forced to return home to his country where his only option is to play for a professional Dominican team which has terrible record of losses. Indeed, the team has been at the bottom of the league for the past 30 years. The only thing that seems to inspire this team of losers is Marcos, their 9-year-old batboy who elevates their sunken spirits. Play Ball is a humorous story of broken dreams, revived dreams, persistence and moral support from companions and friends who are always there for you. The main roles in the film will be played by Luis López as Alex; Marcos Bonetti who will play Marcos, the little batboy, and Marlene Favela, as Elena, Marcos's beautiful sister.
