great league, great dvd

It's just a great dvd, you can have no knowledge of the cape league and still enjoy this dvd.


Touching the Game touches all the bases

I grew up summers on the Cape and remember seeing guys like Will Clark and Jeff Reardon playing down there. The Cape League was pretty big back then, but has climbed to new levels today, and Touching The Game gets it right. I loved the human interest stories from the summer of 2003, and look forward to seeing if any of these players make it to the Major Leagues. And the stories from such baseball luminaries as Nomar Garciaparra, Todd Helton, Frank Thomas, Buck Showalter and Jeff Bagwell are classic! But the film is more than just baseball, it accurately portrays what summer is like on Cape Cod, especially for the kids. If you are familiar with the Cape Cod Baseball League this film will be a terrific depiction of what you remember. If you just love baseball, and want to learn more about this great league, Touching The Game covers all the bases.

Great Documentary!

Touching the Game goes where that other Cape Cod League movie, "Summer Catch" didn't - right to the heart of this sporting tradition, giving the viewer an insightful and first hand look at the history of this talent producing league.
The doco features interviews with everyone from fans and officials to major league players (Nomar Garciaparra, Mo Vaughn and Darin Erstad, to name a few), whose careers began with the Cape Cod Summer League. It goes behind the scenes to show that a player's summer is more than an on the field experience.
The aerial shots of the Cape coastline and ball parks are amazing! You don't have to be from New England, or even love or know a lot about baseball, to appreciate this film and the story it has to tell.

Highly recommend it!

There is no amateur baseball league more prestigous and more storied than the Cape Cod Baseball League. Now for the first time, the story of the league is told in a feature length documentary complete with interviews from current and past players, coaches, fans, and others who make Cape Cod the place to be for a true summer experience. The documentary crew spent the entire summer of 2003 following the Cape League. The result is a unique view of the transition from college baseball player to professional baseball player.

There are currently over 200 Major League baseball players that have spent time in the Cape League, many of whom appear in this film. The Cape Cod Baseball League is baseball in its purest form. This film is for those who not only love baseball, but people who have spent a summer on the Cape "Touching the Game",
