The Saint of Second Chances Movie Trailer HD - Plot synopsis: Mike Veeck grew up in the shadow of his hustler father, Hall of Fame baseball owner Bill Veeck.

But it all came to a screeching halt when Mike blew up his father's career. Exiled from the game he loved, the younger Veeck spent the next few decades clawing his way up from rock bottom, determined to redeem himself. After receiving distressing news, what started as a journey to reclaim the family legacy, became an opportunity to appreciate that family more fully.
