Baseball America, May 28, 2001
A fine job … we see every up and down that comes from a year in the game.

Product Description
It’s the bottom rung of the ladder on the long climb to The Show -- short season, single-A, Minor League Baseball. Nowhere else are the dreams as big … or as easily crushed.

Join the Williamsport Crosscutters -- a Minor League affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates -- through a season in the New York-Penn League. Filled with revealing behind-the-scenes action -- coaching, practicing, surviving on an $800 a month Minor League salary -- plus great on-the-field action. This video will bring you as close to the Minors as you can get without getting signed by a club!

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful and revealing look, February 15, 2002

By	j brill (USA) - See all my reviews

Hopes and Dreams is a revealing look inside the world of a small, minor league baseball team. While the team itself is near the bottom of the baseball ladder their aspirations are not. We see the players( and their families) wrench their hearts and souls in the service of "the great American pastime". This is a moving portrait which will speak to anyone who's heart ever skipped a beat when they heard the umpire yell out the words "play ball!".
