00:34
She doesn't want to play softball.
00:34
I want to play baseball.
00:40
All right, first Cuban in the Hall of Fame,
00:43
Martin Dihigo, the only person in the Cuban,
00:46
Mexican, and American halls of Fame.
00:49
If you play 2nd base,
00:50
what two bases do you stand between 1st and 2nd.
00:55
remember. OK, last one,
00:58
last one. Best 2nd baseman ever,
01:04
just kidding, that's you,
01:05
Daddy. Better? But this one's your favorite for good luck
01:14
Asquetuante pasad cubanosesiete no osos.
01:21
Sorry, kiddo. I promised your mom I would,
01:23
OK. Listen, you got this,
01:26
OK? And you have a cup on,
01:28
right? What's a cup?
01:34
It's to protect the boys,
01:38
but I don't have one of those.
01:40
Sorry, but it's league rules.
01:41
That's ridiculous. She's a girl.
01:43
I understand, but the ump does a safety check before each
01:46
game where the kids have to knock on their cup to prove
01:48
they're wearing one. No cup,
01:58
I'll save her a spot on my team.
02:00
The first game is this Saturday.
02:03
She needs a cup by then if she wants to take the
02:12
You sure you don't want to play softball?
02:13
You said it yourself.
02:14
I have to make my Cuban ancestors proud.
02:16
There's more to life than baseball.
02:18
Then how come you keep talking about it all the time?
02:23
You really want to play that badly.
02:24
I want to play second base just like you did.
02:33
Why doesn't she just play softball?
02:34
She wants to play baseball.
02:37
I can show you what we have,
02:39
but they aren't really made for girls.
02:41
I'm sure we'll find one that fits.
02:57
there's gotta be something else in the store that'll work,
03:00
let's split up and see what we find,
03:02
then meet back up at the dressing rooms.
03:07
hands in. Go team on 3123,
03:55
Now announcing at 2nd base,
03:59
Valeria. How did these win?
04:06
Valet, did you find anything?
04:13
come on, the game is this Saturday.
04:16
What? It's, it's got a knock,
04:17
doesn't it? I wish I had someone like you around when
04:28
I was playing soccer.
04:29
I'm just trying to be a good dad,
04:31
you know. I had such a hard time finding cleats in
04:33
the offseason since there's way less option for girls' cleats than boys
04:37
but my dad was more concerned with perfecting my first touch
04:41
and helping me navigate those things took all the fun out of
04:44
it. It's because I'm a girl,
04:48
right? That's why none of these dumb things are made to
04:50
fit me, so that I can't play.et.
04:53
Maybe I should just play softball.
04:55
Hey, you think Alyssa Nakkin would have been an assistant coach
04:58
for the Giants if she had given up?
05:00
Kelsey Whitmore, would she be making history for women in professional
05:04
baseball if she had given up?
05:07
Maybe sports gear like this wasn't made with girls in mind.
05:11
That doesn't mean that we can give up.
05:13
It doesn't fit. We'll make it.
05:24
Let me see those cups again.
05:29
Oh, it's gonna knock.
05:32
So you'll come to my game on Saturday?
05:34
Wouldn't miss it. I can do it.
06:24
Hit me with it Players to the field,
06:35
please players to the field.
06:39
All right, everyone,
06:40
let's huddle up. Honey bees on 3.
06:43
Ready? 123, honey bees.
06:47
All right, let's line up for the safety check.
07:11
Cup check, knock on your cups.
07:36
Let's play now. All right,
07:40
honey bees, game time.
07:41
You guys ready? Hats,
07:45
All right, listen up,
07:46
Tanner. You're in left.
07:48
Wesley, you're in center.
07:51
Samuel 1. Valeria 2nd.
