[HENRY]
I think life's greatest lessons
can be learned on the baseball field.
You got a little bit of everything...
Heroes, hope, love.
Time stops.
You play at your own pace.
It teaches teamwork
and the everlasting
joy of shared victory.
And it also prepares you
to deal with defeat.
I mean, let's face it, life isn't
just walk-off home runs
and timely base hits.
It's curve ba*ls.
[CHUCKLES] Plenty.
And nothing prepares you for the curve.
It comes out of nowhere.
It can knock you off your feet.
But that's the great thing
about baseball.
If you stay with it,
stare down your fears...
You just might get a second chance.
[JACK] Check out
the movement on this one, Dad.
Here comes the heat.
[JACK'S DAD] Put it here, Jack.
Right here, right here!
Strike two!
Attaboy, Jack! Good throw.
[JACK]
Here we are at the World Series.
It all comes down to this.
What will the great Mariano Rivera do?
The wind-up.
[GRUNTS]
Strike three! That is the game!
That is the ball game!
Mo strikes him out with a curve ball!
The Yankees win.
The Yankees win! [CHUCKLES]
[JACK'S DAD]
Good game, Jack. Good game.
But I have to tell you something,
you know,
uh, Mariano never throws a curve ball.
[BOTH LAUGHING]
[JACK'S DAD]
Come on. Ready for some dinner?
Dad?
Hey, pal, you all right?
Huh?
Jack!
Jack!
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
[JOHN STERLING]
Matsui steps back in.
Boy, they could
really use a little magic
from him tonight,
couldn't they, Michael?
[MICHAEL KAY]
Yes, they could, John.
[JOHN]
The pitch! It's a breaking ball.
Cut on and miss.
[CROWD EXCLAIMS]
Well, that ends the inning.
Yankees still down by four.
[SIGHS]
[CHUCKLES] Hey, everyone.
How's it going?
Not so good.
Top of the third, Yankees are losing.
Ah, it's early.
They'll figure something out.
You know why, Jack?
It's called Yankee magic.
And I've got a whole stash
of the stuff in my office.
And I figured I'd...
I'd give you some.
If you want it.
[GROANS SOFTLY]
Uh... Can I speak to you
outside for a moment?
Don't go anywhere, kiddo.
I'll be right back.
[GROANS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
[CHIRPING]
Huh?
[TWEETING]
You know, we've
always said the mental part
is just as important as the physical.
And I'm really concerned, because...
Jack isn't speaking.
If we ever got to a place where, well...
He's fine. He's just tired.
He's been through so much.
I know, I know.
I... I just want to make sure
that he's ready for this,
because there's a long
and difficult road ahead.
He's ready.
Okay.
Then let's do it.
How you doing, doc?
It's time for a miracle, Ruth.
It's time for a miracle.
[SIGHS]
[JACK'S DAD]
All right, Jacky boy.
The doctor says you are ready to go.
[SIGHS]
Hey, you can do this.
Compared to the other stuff,
this is a piece of cake.
Hey, Jack. This is gonna help you relax.
You're gonna have beautiful dreams.
Okay?
Wait! Hang on a second.
[NURSE CYNDI]
There you go.
I love you, honey, and
I'll see you in a few short hours.
Hey, Jacky,
I found a new batting cage for us.
Maybe we'll go try it out
next week, huh?
All right now, Mom, Dad,
we'll see you real soon.
Right?
I love you, baby.

Don't be picking up any girls
when I'm not around.
I get so jealous.
Mmm-hmm.
Hey, listen, honey. Listen to me.
Don't be afraid.
I'll be right back.
[JOHN]
Once again, the Yankees are shut down.
Looks like it's gonna be a long night.
Looks like you got
a bad break, huh, kid?
[GASPS]
Hmm. Not a big talker, huh?
Hmm.
That's okay.
You a fan?
Yeah, me, too.
Yeah, I got this a few years back.
Been very inspiring.
Still setting up in there, huh?
[WHISPERS] You ever notice
doctors are always running late?
I'd have gotten fired
if I was late for my job.
Hey, you wanna see some magic?
Okay.
Jack.
Mmm-hmm, your name's Jack.
[GASPS]
I knew that'd get a reaction out of you.
But I'll tell you a secret.
It's written on
the underside of your cap.
[LAUGHING]
Well, it's been great chatting
with you, Jack.
Always nice to run
into a fellow Yankees fan.
It's too bad our boys in pinstripes
gotta lose one every now and then, huh?
[SOFTLY] It's not over.
Excuse me, did you say something?
It's not over till it's over.
Well, that's what I thought you said.
That's very profound.
I believe that, too.
Listen, Jack, I was thinking.
If I can swing it,
you wanna watch the game
while you're waiting to go in?
Uh...
[SIGHS]
Oh, I thought you said you were a fan.
I don't think there's time.
The world's biggest excuse.
If it's important enough...
You find the time.
Well... Maybe we could
watch a few minutes.
I was hoping you'd say that.
[GASPS]
Wait. What...
What's happening?
Jack. Jack, it's fine.
"Fine"? This is not fine.
We're going...
Mom!
- ...to watch...
- Dad!
...the game!
[FANS CHEERING]
Huh?
Hang on, Jack!
Hang on!
Nurse Cyndi!
Help me!
How did you do that?
I touched my lapel pin.
Didn't you see me?
But I mean, how did you do all of this?
Well, like I said,
by touching my lapel pin.
[CHUCKLES] Boy, kid, you gotta
learn to listen better.
Henry!
Nolan.
Going on another journey, I see.
Henry?
[INDISTINCT PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT]
[MAN] [OVER PA]
Next stop, Yankee Stadium.
Is Henry taking you to Yankee Stadium?
[STUTTERS] I don't know.
Well, you look a little strange
for someone going to a ball game.
Sissy.
I don't know how I got here.
It's not how you got here
that's important.
It's where you're going that is.
Oh, no! Henry!
[STUTTERING] I have to go back.
I... I can't do this.
Can't? But you are.
I mean, I'm sick.
I can't be around all these people.
I can't leave the hospital.
And I definitely can't go
to Yankee Stadium!
Well, is there anything you can do?
I wanna go back. Now.
- [WOMAN] [GIGGLING] Oh, my...
- Where's my bed?
[GASPS] And my IVs?
Can't remember.
Yes, you can.
You just don't want to.
Now, you wanna go dressed like that?
Or you wanna wear
something a little less...
Open...
[CHUCKLES] ...in the back?
You're not listening to me!
[CHUCKLES] Sure I am.
You said you can go to Yankee Stadium,
you just don't want to.
That's not what I... [GASPS] Hey!
What?
Stop it!
[SCREECHING]
[BRAKES HISSING]
[SOFTLY] Don't you get it?
I'm sick.
I'm not supposed to be here.
I'm not supposed to be anywhere.
[GASPS]
What's wrong with them?
They're waiting for you to decide
what you wanna do.
What I want doesn't matter.
What you want is
the only thing that matters.
At least in here.
Jack, it's okay.
[GASPS]
[MAN] [OVER PA]
Yankee Stadium...
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
Good luck. We're all rooting for you.
Who's rooting for me?
Everyone, silly.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
[FANS CHEERING]
[SIGHS]
[APPLAUSE]
[ALL] [CHANTING]
Let's go, Yankees!
[EXHALES]
[JACK] Oh, no.
The Yankees are down by six.
They can't come back from this.
I mean, it'll be hard
to come back from that far down.
Yeah, hard, but not impossible.
Uh, can I see your tickets, please?
Oh. [CHUCKLES]
Welcome back, sir!
I didn't recognize you.
Let me just make sure
your seats are ready.
They know you here?
[CHUCKLES] Yeah, well...
I drop by a lot.
So you wanna meet some of the guys?
What guys?
What guys?
The Yankees.
Really?
Well, only if you want to.
I want to! I really want to!
Right this way, gentlemen. Row 1.
[JACK] Ten, nine...
[DR. ACOSTA]
Keep counting, Jack.
[JACK] ...eight, seven...
Ah, you're doing great.
...six, five...
All right.
[JACK] ...four, three...
Two... Henry!
[HENRY]
We weren't done yet, were we, Jack?
Wow.
[STUTTERS] I'm back.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
[CROWD EXCLAIMING]
[LAUGHTER]
Big guy, isn't he?
That guy hits like Babe Ruth.
Well, he should.
'Cause he is Babe Ruth!
Whoa!
Hey, you said you wanted
to meet some of the guys.
Why isn't he wearing
his Yankees uniform?
Well, he's on a barnstorming tour,
playing in the off season,
letting the fans get up
close and personal.
[ALL CHEERING]
Besides, it's not the uniform
that makes you a Yankee.
It's what's in here.
Henry!
Huh. Hey, George!
My pal Henry.
[JACK GASPS]
Long time no see.
Oh... Come on... Hey.
[CHUCKLING]
Thanks. Thanks a lot.
I just got this suit pressed.
[LAUGHING] Who's the kid?
Well, this here is Jack.
- He's a friend of mine.
- [GASPS]
Hello, kid. I'm Babe Ruth.
Nice to meet you.
[GASPS]
Can he speak?
Well, sometimes.
Doesn't matter.
Any friend of Henry's
is a friend of mine.
Come on, kid,
you wanna take a few swings?
Me? [STUTTERING]
I can't. I... I, uh...
Come on, I don't wanna hear that.
But I've been sick and my...
My leg kinda hurts.
Um, I, uh... I stubbed my toe yesterday,
and I'm allergic to peanuts...
Allergic to peanuts? Yeah, me, too.
[LAUGHING] Right, Henry?
Hey, Henry, you hear what this kid said?
Next thing, he's gonna tell me
he's allergic to hotdogs, too!
- Henry, we got a lot of work to do here.
- [SIGHS]
Jack, come on, don't be afraid.
What do you wanna do?
I wanna take a few swings?
[BABE RUTH LAUGHING]
Then batter up.
[GRUNTS]
[LAUGHS]
Hey, sorry about that.
There, that should do it.
Hey, hey, come on, Jack.
It's light enough.
Now, let's see what you've got.
Wow, this is so cool.
[GULPING]
[SCREAMS]
- Strike one!
- What are you, crazy?
You almost hit me.
What are you, nuts?
Hey, hey, hey. Come on, kid.
If you don't swing,
you're not gonna hit it.
Whoa!
- Strike two!
- What are you, crazy?
Hey, Jack, I don't wanna bother you,
but you might have
better luck if you stay
in the batter's box.
But the ball is coming right at me.
[CHUCKLING] Hey, kid, remember
what the Babe tells you.
"If it was easy,
it wouldn't be worth doing."
[HENRY]
Stay with it, Jack! Come on now!
[WOMAN 1] You can do it!
[MAN 1]
Come on, kid, dig in there!
[WOMAN 2]
Come on, Jack, you can do it!
- [MAN 2] Let's go, Jack.
- [MAN 3] Atta boy.
[KID 1] You can do it, Jack!
[KID 2]
We're rooting for you, Jack!
[BOTH GRUNT]
[CROWD EXCLAIMS]
[UMPIRE]
Strike three! You're out!
See? I told you I couldn't do it.
Okay, that's 'cause you're
doing three things wrong.
Number one, you're playing it safe.
Two, you gotta lay back
on the curve ball.
And three, you gotta
believe you can do it,
or you're never gonna hit one.
Let's start with number one.
When you swing,
swing like your whole life depends on it.
Make it the biggest, best, most
powerful swing you can come up with.
Okay?
Number two,
see how he's spinning the ball
in his hand like that?
He's tipping his pitch.
He only does that
before he throws a curve.
And you know what to do
with a curve, right?
[GASPS] Oh... Mmm-mmm.
[LAUGHING] You lay back on it.
And number three.
The most important.
You...
Jack, gotta believe you can do it.
[GRUNTING]
[LAUGHING]
Pitchers hate it when I point.
- You know why?
- Why?
'Cause it tells them I believe
I'm gonna hit it all the way out there.
Just believing you can do it, Jack,
could change the game.
- Whoa!
- Man!
[CROWD CHEERING]
[BABE RUTH LAUGHING]
[KID] Wow!
[HENRY] Still got it, George!
That's amazing.
I can never do that.
Okay, your turn.
Come on, Jack, give it a ride!
- [KID] Come on, Jack!
- [GRUNTS]
Strike!
I can't do it.
All right, all right, time out,
time out. Come here.
You gotta believe.
You.
[LAUGHING]
Go ahead, laugh, guys, laugh.
[ALL LAUGHING]
[KID] That's not funny.
[NEIGHING]
[LAUGHTER CONTINUES]
Come on, Jack.
They can tell your heart's not in it.
Come on, Jack, you can do it!
Come on, Jack, let's go!
[ALL CHEERING]
[GIRL] You can do it!
Yes.
[GRUNTS]
[ALL EXCLAIM]
[BABE RUTH LAUGHING]
Now that's what I'm talking about.
I did it! I really did it!
Boy, did you ever!
Did you see that?
That ball went over 600 feet!
How do you like that, fellas?
Huh? You see my boy?
[CHUCKLES] That was me!
[BABE RUTH LAUGHING]
Hey, Henry, what do you think?
Told you he had it in him.
- That was me!
- [MAN] Attaboy, Jack!
He's quite a kid.
You were right, Henry.
He may not look it,
but, boy, I'm telling ya,
that kid's made of steel.
I did it!
Right over the silo.
It was amazing!
Remember, kid,
there's heroes and there's legends.
Heroes get remembered,
but legends...
[CHUCKLING] Never die.
Hop in, slugger.
Goodbye, Mr. Ruth.
I'll never forget you.
[LAUGHS] I'll be looking out for you.
Okay, Jack, we gotta get going.
We don't wanna be late.
Late for what?
Late for practice.
See ya, George.
It's good to see you, Henry.
Watch out for the suit, George...
[LAUGHING] So long, Jack.
Remember, don't stop believing.
Shall we?
[COUGHING]
[BABE RUTH]

Yankees trailing 8-2.
[MICHAEL] This hill's getting harder

[JOHN] Yes, it is, Michael.
Yes, it is.
The final game of the season.
Win, and the Yankees go to the playoffs.
Lose, and it's a long winter
of what could have been.
What do you think, Jack?
The Yanks have a chance?
Sure. Maybe.
I guess.
[LAUGHING] Well...
If you say it long enough,
you'll start to believe it.
Whoa!

Hey, Henry,

I thought it was gone.
Well, it is.
But its memories,
Jack, they live forever.
What do you say we go in?
Yeah.
[JACK]
It's like a museum in here.
[HENRY] A museum?
You ever seen a museum
with real people in it?
Is that... Are those...
Are they...
Ah, they drop by to play
a little ball from time to time.
You know, once you're a Yankee,
you always have a home here.
[GASPS] Wow.
Mickey Mantle.
Do you mind?
Sorry.
[MAN] Lefty, stop messing.
Come on, leave the kid alone, huh?
Sorry, kid.
I'm just messing with you.
Lefty, this is Jack.
Jack, Lefty Gomez.
One of the best Yankee pitchers
of all time.
Oh! Oh-h*!
You gotta be quicker than that
if you wanna make the team.
Make the team?
Hmm. You sure he can throw?
One way to find out.
Oh, boy. Again?
Can I have a warning next time
before you do that?
Ah, you'll get used to it.
Now... Let's see what you got.
You want me to pitch from here?
But... I've never
pitched from this far before.
And I've never sung opera. But you
don't see that stopping me, do you?
[SINGING OPERA]
How will you know if you're
any good unless you try?
Oh, you tried all right.
Pavarotti.
Oh, look what the cat dragged in.
My biggest critic, Bobby Ray Murcer!
Listen, Mr. Gomez...
h*, time out.
Time, time, time.
Please. [LAUGHING]
Call me El Goofy.
Mr. Goofy, I'm not so sure
this is a good idea.
So you're not so sure it's not either.
Right?
So let's get it on.
Here we go. All right, come on,
give him some signs here.
Not that sign!
Nod your head
so he knows you understand.
But I don't understand.
He understands, all right!
He got the sign!
Okay, show him the curve ball.
But I don't know
how to throw a curve ball.
It's easy.
Arm back...
...and throw.
[KID]
Come on, Jack, show him!
Give him the curve ball, Jack!
[KIDS SHOUTING]
Yeah, Lefty, piece of cake.
Listen, are you sure
you're serious about baseball?
Yes, very serious.
That's your problem.
He's too serious!
[CHUCKLES]
I'm gonna explain, okay.
You choke the ball between
your thumb and pointer,
c*ck the wrist like this, okay?
Then you snap it down hard
so the ball rolls out of your hand.
It's like a river going down
a waterfall. You got that?
You grab the ball like this, then...
Throw it into the river?
No, no, it's, uh...
You... You turn your wrist, uh,
while you go over the waterfall...
He's got it!
Mr. Goofy, sir, could you show me again?
Look, Jack, it's all
about enjoying yourself,
even when you're down in the count.
Yeah, enjoy myself.
Uh-huh. Now you're getting it.
I like that.
Relax.
[GOMEZ LAUGHING]

No way.
You want me...
To pitch to Mickey Mantle?
No, I want you to dance for him.
Of course, I want you
to pitch to Mickey Mantle.
But, Mr. Munson,
I'm not really a pitcher.
I'm just a kid.
He doesn't know that.
All he knows is you
got a crazy curve ball.
Now what do you say we show it to him?
[GULPING]
Come on, Jack!
I don't know.
Maybe you should...
Bring in somebody else.
Someone with more...
[STUTTERS] Experience.
So you're telling me
there's something you'd rather be doing
than try and strike out Mickey Mantle.
Mr. Munson...
Hey, kid, listen close.
Remember what Lefty taught you?
Relax.
That's right.
Have fun.
It's a game, kid.
It's supposed to be fun.

Whoo! Good work, Doctor. He's back.
Hey, Jack.
Are you in, or are you out?
I'm in.
Let's strike this joker out.
Okay, break it up, you two.
Let's get back to the game.
I'm not sure I'd be
calling Mantle a joker,
but now you're starting
to sound like a Yankee.
[YANKEE FAN]
Come on, Jack!
Who's the kid?
[CHUCKLING]
You're about to find out.
Yeah, all right, we'll see.
[EXHALES]
Okay, relax...
And have some fun.
Come on, Jack, come on.
Come on, Jack, put it right in there!
You know what to do!
Strike one!
Whoo, that was nasty!
You're in for it, Mick.
[SIGHS] Okay, one down.
You can do it!
One more, Jack, one more time!
Just like that.
You can do it, Jack. Come on.
I can do this.
Yeah, okay, show me.
[JACK GRUNTS]
Strike two!
Whoo! That hit was filthy!

Hey, buddy, you've got
quite an arm there.
Mr. Steinbrenner?
I think I can use you on the team.
Really?
What do you think, Reggie?
This kid's really good
in the clutch, man.
Coming from him,
that's a real compliment.
Reggie was great in the clutch,
especially when it mattered.
Ah...
What are you talking about?
Hey, Yogi, come on now.
It's true. He gave 100%.
Right...
What Yogi's trying to say is that
when everything seems lost...
That's the time to turn up your game.
That's right, Goose.
Be a winner, Jack.
Be a winner.
Remember, Jack, be the curly straw
that stirs the drink.
Be the straw, Jack, be the straw.
Yeah, sure, Reg.
[LAUGHTER]
But listen, son,
you're gonna have to start
at the bottom and work your way up.
Like somebody famous once said,
"If it was easy,
it wouldn't be worth doing."
I know.
Good.

Hey, little man, you look great.
Thanks.
Wow.
So cool.
[JOHN] Granderson steps back in,
with the Yankees down by five.
Come on, CG! Here we go, man.
Bases loaded, bro.
Come on, 1-4! You can do it!
You can do this, let's go!
Here we go, here we go!
[JOHN] The pitch.
Granderson hits a ground ball
into the hole at short.
Oh, what a diving stop by the shortstop!
Gets to his feet, throws... Safe!
Yeah, baby, I got it! Whoo!
Oh, what hustle by Curtis!
Yankees now trail 10-6.
And all you kids out there,
that's how you play the game, right
there, that's how you play the game.
Hey, we need you on base, Teix.
Come on, come on, let's go!
Take it, man. Right here!
[JOHN]
Teixeira steps in as the tying run.
Teixeira broke his bat on that one.
More kindling for the fire.
Teixeira needs a new bat.
What?
Teix broke his bat.
Get him another one, and move it.
Uh, okay, got it, got it.
[JOHN] Well, wouldn't you know it?
It would all come down to this.
Bottom of the ninth, two outs,
bases full of Yankees,
and a two-strike count
on Mark Teixeira.
It doesn't get any better
than this, does it, Michael?
[MICHAEL] Oh, here comes the batboy
with another piece of lumber.
Maybe this one has some magic in it.
[CROWD CHEERING]
[CROWD] [CHANTING] Let's go, Yankees!
Yes.
Come on, baby. What do you say, Teix?
Let's do it, baby!
Come on, Teix! Get on base!
Come on, Teix, big at bat!
Right now, Teix! Come on, kid.
Come on, 2-5. You're right on it, baby.
Teix, hey. We need one
in the right-field seats, Teix.
Big hit here! Let's go, Teix!
They really think they can win.
They don't think it, they know it.
[JOHN] Here's the pitch.
He lines a base hit to right field.
Yankees are now down 10-7.
Jack.
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
These are the moments we live for.
[JOHN]
Hideki Matsui steps to the plate,
hoping to change everything
in one single swing.
[EXHALES]
I know, Matsui. Come on, baby.
[JOHN] Here's the pitch.
Cut on and missed.
Strike one!
Hey, that curve's been
tying him up all night.
I wanna see 500 feet, baby.
[YANKEE] Hey, Matty, we need you
right now, Pac-Man!
This is what you do best,
picking up them RBIs!
You got this!
[CROWD] [CHANTING]
Let's go, Yankees!
[BABE RUTH] See how he's spinning the ball
with his hand like that, Jack?
He's tipping his pitch. [GASPS]
He only does that
before he throws a curve.
[JOHN]
And here's the 0-1.
Strike two!
[YANKEE] Come on, Matsui!
Hey, guys, look.
Look! He's tipping his pitch!
He's tipping his pitch!
Yeah! That's what
I'm talking about, baby!
Uh, I... I gotta tell him.
It's you now! It's you!
Now he comes set to the belt...
[BABE RUTH] Just believing you can do it,
Jack, could change the game.
[CROWD CONTINUES CHANTING]
Excuse me, uh, Mr. Matsui?
Hey, what's the kid doing?
[JOHN] It looks like Matsui is being
told something by the bat boy.
I wonder what they
could be talking about.
Hey, kid, what'd you say to him?
Something that Babe taught me.
[JOHN] The Yankees are down
to their last strike.
[FAN]
Hey, hit one in the seats! Let's go!
[JOHN]
Now Matsui digs back in.
I'm feeling the pie, Jack!
Ha-ha! I'm feeling the pie!
Come on, we've done it all year long!
Yes.
[JOHN]
There it goes! Deep center!
[CROWD ROARING]
It is high! It is far!
It is... Gone!
Into Monument Park!
Yeah!
Yeah, baby! Whoo!
A thriller by Godzilla!
[YANKEE] We win!
[JOHN] Game over.
Regular season over. Yankees win.
The... Yankees win!
And the Yankees are now headed
to the playoffs.
What do you think about that, Michael?
Well, it looks like Mystique and
Aura have crossed the street,
and now live here at the house
that George built.
[CHEERING AND SHOUTING]
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
[YANKEE] Attaboy! Whoo!
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
[FAN]
What a swing! Beautiful!
What a swing...
[GASPS]
I bet you never thought
you could do all that.
Not in a million years!
Hey, Henry, can I meet
some of the other guys?
Like Joe DiMaggio or...
Or Roger Maris or Billy Martin?
[CHUCKLES]
Well, maybe some other time.
Right now...
It's time to go home.
But I don't wanna go home.
I wanna stay here.
Look, I have hair.
No tubes. I can move.
And I can hit home runs!
And throw curve ba*ls.
I'm not tired anymore.
Can I just stay here
a little bit longer?
I just got here.
Sorry, Jack,
that's not the way it works.
And what about the team?
They need me.
There's another team
that needs you even more.
It's not fair.
I'm not ready to go yet!
I can't! I just can't!
[THUNDER RUMBLING]
[SIGHS]
Jack?
Jack?
Are you in there?
[JACK CRYING]
[SIGHING]
Yeah, of course.
[JACK CRYING]
I'm not ready to go yet, Henry.
Well, I see you found my chair.
Leave me alone.
You know...
When I was scared,
I used to come in here, too.
I'd sit in that exact chair
and wait...
Till I felt strong enough
to face the world.
What did you have to be scared about?
Oh...
I got a few monsters in my closet, too.
The way I see it, you have two choices.
Either you hide from them...
Or you step up and face 'em.
Head on.
Come here. I wanna show you something.
Okay, you wanted a warning?
Here's your warning.
I'm about to touch my pin.
[CHUCKLING]
[GASPS]
You mean... You're Lou Gehrig?
At your service.
[GASPING]
Fans, for the past two weeks,
you've been reading
about the bad break I got.
Yet, today, I consider myself
the luckiest man on
the face of this Earth.
How did you do it?
You were just as sick as I am.
How did you keep playing every day?
I'm a Yankee, Jack.
That's what we do.
[SIGHING]
Okay, Henry.
I'm ready.
What a brave kid, huh, guys?
That kid's got a lot of Yankee in him.
Of course he does.
'Cause he believes.
He sure does.
[EKG BEEPING]
[JACK'S MOM] Honey.
Jack. Can you hear me?
[JACK'S DAD] Hey, sport, the doctor said
everything went well.
Now what we need you to do is wake up.
Okay?
Oh! [LAUGHING]
We were so worried.
Don't worry, Jacky, you'll never
have to go through this again.
I can if I have to.
Dad, he tipped his pitch.
[CHUCKLES] What?
Matsui, he knew it was gonna be a curve.
How on Earth did you...
Uh, excuse me, Jack.
How you doin', sport?
You're looking good. Listen.
I found some people out here
roaming the halls,
saying they wanna visit.
Should I send 'em in?
I don't think this is a good time.
Maybe if you all could just...
Hey, big guy!
Mariano?
Should we come back later?
No! Now's great.
What's going on, buddy, how you doin'?
Hey, Jack, what's going on, buddy?
How you feelin', man?
I like that hat.
Love you're showing the colors.
Would you like us to sign it?
He's not really comfortable
taking it off in front...
Here. [LAUGHING]
There's nothing wrong
with a good-looking dome.
But don't worry, kid,
it'll all come back.
I hear you're a big fan.
Yeah, the biggest!
Your doctor told us
you're one brave kid.
I've had my eye on this one
for a long time, guys.
He definitely has
what it takes to be a Yankee.
And you know, Jack, once
a Yankee, always a Yankee.
[YANKEE 1] Yeah.
[YANKEE 2] Looks good, kid.
You know, you look
really familiar to me.
Yeah, me too.
Now that you mention it,
have we met before?
Hey, boys.
Hi, boss.
How you doing, Mr. Steinbrenner?
Mr. Steinbrenner!
You've got the boss here!
How are you, Jack?
I'm great.
Listen, the whole team,
we're real proud of you.
So we wanted to give you
a little something.
This is to certify that Jack...
Has earned the right to be called
a New York Yankee.
For me?
Yes.
I got mine a few years back
and it's been very inspiring.
Hey, Reg, how do I get one of those?
Hit three bombs in a World Series game
and maybe...
We'll talk.
[ALL EXCLAIM AND LAUGH]
Man, he got you, Teix.
Teix, that's cold, man.
Mark, just don't strike out as much.
[ALL EXCLAIM AND LAUGH]
[YANKEE] Oh, that's not right.
Oh, man!
Mmm-hmm, go ahead.
That's right, pile on.
I'm used to carrying you anyway.
[ALL EXCLAIMING]
Yeah. Yeah,
that's right, Reg. Thank you.
[LAUGHING] Hey, Jack!
That's what I'm talking about!
[GASPS]
Remember... Live as big as you can.
You made it, Jack.
Enjoy every minute of it.
[HENRY] Okay, watch out for the suit,
George. George, not the suit!
