Japanese baseball is an obsession. For the high schoolers who play it, it is their way of life. This documentary is relatively small, only an hour long, which is a great shame, but it was made to fit on television. It follows two of 4,000 high school baseball teams in their quest to reach "Koshien," the final rounds at Japan's most hallowed baseball grounds. This film is superbly filmed in beautiful quality unusual for a documentary. It is rare to see "blood, sweat, and tears" so completely manifested in sports。
