When you think of Cape Cod
you probably think ofbeaches...

:00:23
...lobster, little fishing villages.
:00:27
I grew up here,
and I mostly think ofbaseball.

:00:32
The best amateur ball in the country
is played in the Cape Cod Baseball League.

:00:36
Playing here is the chance of a lifetime.
:00:40
I've been mowing this field in Chatham
since I was 14...

:00:43
...but this summer it feels a little different.
:00:49
If you're a college player, the Cape
is where you want to go for the summer.

:00:52
Little towns like Yarmouth and Dennis,
Wareham and Chatham.

:00:56
Families open their homes to kids
from all over the country...

:00:59
...who come to show their stuff
to big league scouts.

:01:02
Hi, I'm Billy Brubaker. This is Miles....
:01:05
Dalrymple. Love y'all's house.
:01:07
So, how's the surf?.
:01:09
Some of us are farther away from home
than we've ever been...

:01:13
...staying with people who have
strange ideas about being a house parent.

:01:16
Are you hungry, honey?
:01:20
Come here, I have something for you.
:01:24
They say one in six big leaguers played
in the Cape League.

:01:27
I can't count
all the ones I've seen play on this field.

:01:30
Bagwell, Bell, Biggio...
:01:33
...Nomar, Mo Vaughn, the Big Hurt.
:01:39
I've watched so many dreams
come true and die...

:01:43
...on the ball fields of the Cape.
:01:46
Hard as it is to believe, now it's my turn.
:01:50
Now I'm the guy
the scouts will be watching.

:01:54
I'm the guy putting it on the line
every time I take the mound.
