A former major league baseball manager, Jim Lefebvre, and Boston
Red Sox Hall of Fame pitcher Bruce Hurst take on the toughest task
of their careers - transforming China's fledgling national baseball
team into a contender in the 2008 Olympic Games. This is a story of
two divergent nations united by America's pastime, a
seat-of-the-pants chronicle of underdogs, world-class dreams,
high-stakes risks and Olympic glory. What started four years ago
with a phone call from an office not far from China's Forbidden
City to a retired manager in Scottsdale, Arizona, ends in August
2008, when outmatched Chinese baseball players - bolstered by their
American coaches - step onto an Olympic baseball diamond and make
history.
