1 EXT. ACADEMY FIELD - DOMINICAN REPUBLIC - DAY
A high angle looking out over a well-manicured baseball field
carved out of a tropical jungle. A game is currently in
progress.A1 ON THE FIELD
Wearing KANSAS CITY KNIGHTS uniforms, mostly Black and dark-
skinned Dominicans as well as several lighter-skinned
Venezuelans (17-22 years old) are set in their positions, poised
for the next pitch.CLOSE ON the pitcher, MIGUEL SANTOS (aka AZ�CAR/SUGAR - 19,
lean, Black and handsome). Sweat drips down his face in the
oppressive midday heat. He steadies his glove and ball at his
chest, peeking over at the RUNNER on first base. Miguel lifts
his leg high into the air, rears back his right arm, and FIRES
the ball toward the plate.THUD! A cloud of dust pops off the CATCHER'S mitt as the ball
slams inside.UMPIRE
