00:00 Start at a one, take it to a ten,
00:04 and if it gets you arrested, we've gone too far.
00:06 - This is the true story of a family of baseball hustlers.
00:13 My dad used to say, "A hustler's not a con man,
00:17 "the hustler believes."
00:20 All the fun stuff that happens at baseball games,
00:22 fireworks, giveaways, you name it, they invented it.
00:25 We're gonna do something that are gonna make people
00:28 sit up and take notice.
00:30 It was street theater wrapped around a ball game.
00:34 - What could possibly go wrong?
00:35 - 10,000 people on that field.
00:37 - Oh, that's what could go wrong.
00:40 This was an audience unlike we'd ever seen
00:45 in numbers we'd never seen.
00:47 At the end of the night, I said to the old man,
00:49 "I'm done, I'm quitting."
00:51 - The thing about second chances is,
00:55 you never know where they're going to come from.
00:58 - Hello?
00:59 - I needed a miracle to really get people taught.
01:02 - Come on, try out for the St. Paul Saints, all right?
01:04 - Little did he know, redemption is a two-way street.
01:08 - It could not fail.
01:09 I would come home and be scared to death.
01:12 - He never let it show.
01:13 - My dream was to play professional baseball,
01:18 and thanks to Mike Beck, that came true.
01:21 St. Paul brought me back to life.
01:22 ♪ When you think it's all gone ♪
01:26 - I look at a baseball field,
01:28 and every field I see has a piece of my family in it.
01:31 - And with his two kids by his side,
01:33 Mike shows them both how to be a hustler.
01:37 - All that laughter and fun was gonna save us.
01:40 - This is the story of a guy who struggled
01:42 to be a good son,
01:43 and accidentally became a great dad.
01:47 - Nobody ever cheered for Goliath.
01:53 What do you think, they were sitting in the Coliseum
01:55 going, "Crush that little bum!"
