Mike Piazza, David Eckstein, Jack McKeon, Mike Sweeney, Rich Donnelly and Jeff Suppan form the All Star lineup in this uplifting production that showcases the intersection of sports and faith in Major League Baseball. Both entertaining and moving, this film shares moments with these professional athletes talking about something greater than the World Series, fame or fortune - that is, their faith in
God, devotion to the Blessed Mother and love for Christ in the Eucharist.
You will laugh, cry, stand, cheer and be awed by the captivating personal stories and thrilling game highlights that reveal a side of superstar athletes that one rarely sees. Set to a rousing musical score and soundtrack featuring Grammy Award-winning Third Day and legendary recording artist Bob Dylan, Champions of Faith: Baseball serves to humanize some of the most celebrated and accomplished ballplayers of our time and restore the "sports hero" to its proper place in the American culture.
Featuring some two dozen leading players, managers and coaches speaking frankly about family, sacrifice, leadership, humility, and the many virtues and spiritual lessons they have learned from the game, Champions of Faith: Baseball provides an emotionally powerful, action-packed glimpse into what makes a baseball player - and a human being - great.
What incredible role models for our aspiring young athletes! You’ll want two of these, one to add to your family’s
DVD collection, and one to gift away.
