The Buddy League: Now Playing
The Buddy League is a documentary following a special needs baseball league in Garland, TX.

The Story
Ben Miller was born a healthy boy in 1991. Following his first immunizations at three months, Ben began having seizures. By age three, he underwent seizure surgery. The surgery failed to stop the seizures, and Ben was left with right side partial paralysis and speech impairment.
Growing up, Ben always had a passion for baseball. Until the age of 11, Ben was allowed to play little league baseball with his three brothers. He would be informed that the league he played in would no longer make modifications for Ben to play. Ben was devastated.
In the fall of 2002, The Buddy League was founded. The league was started for Ben, but as weeks went by, more children came forward. The League was opened to children with any type of impairment, physical or mental. The inaugural season was composed of 10 children. The 2011 season opens with over 120 children on 8 teams.
Peer Volunteers are essential to the leagues success. Volunteers learn by witnessing and assisting players. They see what love and true friendship are all about. They understand that children with disabling conditions have many of the same needs as everyone else. They need to be loved, accepted, appreciated, encouraged, have friends, and have fun.
There have been no major promotions or advertisements for the league. It has simply grown by word of mouth throughout Garland and neighboring communities. Some children travel as far as an hour away to participate in the games. The League is currently in negotiations to extend into neighboring counties.
The Buddy League has never been just about baseball. It is about building an accepting community. It is about changing perspectives. It is about eliminating stereotypes and eliminating fear.

I dig it bro, i had one too, cheers
You’re on a mission from God!
I adore this car!
Great Job Sir !! Pretty Authentic Already
That’s so bad ass, my brother and I God bless his soul, that was our favorite musical movie of all time, that car was the best thing going that’s all we talked an about and laughed about when he ran into the mall and blew out the front of Sears windows and they hit the gas and blow through the parking lot., I saw that new in a drive-in good times man.., we have a portrait poster of Jake and Elwood in our garage
Briefcase full of blues is a classic.
cop tires, cops shocks, and its a model made before catalytic converters so it runs good on regular gas.
I saw a Laurel & Hardy film where Model T fell apart just like that.
You traded the blues mobile for this!?
That is way Cool
Another Monaco ruined . This idiocy has to stop.
I'm a blues brothers fan too. But I saw a clip one time where Dan Akroyd says cop motor cop brakes cop wheel, cop tire, cop suspension cop seats cop lights (just all cop followed by car parts - not that one with 440 cubes and before catalytic converters etc etc 2 mins into the movie). Where can I find a link to that ? I know I have seen it, but cant find it anywhere now.
☺
Eight-track cut into the dash?
Looks like Rick from Pawn Stars
"I don't believe it, it's that shitbox Dodge again!" "They broke my watch"
Car's got good pick up.
Great car Original 440?
♥️🇺🇸😍🦅 from italy
It's got a lotta pick up.
Nice replica. Just don't get caught.
BDR529- Black Diamond Riders MC 529 Church street Toronto
they lied to us it is not a 440 car.
It could be if you put a 440 in it.
Yeah man; I kind of want one myself. my dad had one that got taken. Cops was behind us. And my dad did what some wouldnt he kept riding until we got home. My sister came out to tell the police you ain't takiking my brother. Crazyness but worth trying to get one just because
Car's got a lot of pickup
How frigging cool is that...
Beautiful car , always wanted one but ive got an Aussie built 77 Regal se . Love the big mopars .
Needs a big speaker on the roof, drive around town saying you on the motorcycle, you two girls, showband, and review
Here in Germany we have 2 guys performing as Blues Brothers, they have that giant Speaker and drive with it through downtown
Congratulations man well done.... I've always wanted to build one of these too... But do a high Performance Suspension and supercharge the "hell" out if it ;-)
Dont need a supercharger...You can get 700 plus hp out of a good running Big Block Mopar.
Yes 2018 I'm now 20yo I know what a fucking record is I mean back in the 2000s as a kid I watched movies on both VCR tapes and DVD'S I actually played a couple record players before one was like a 1940s antique.
The cigarette lighters broken
....TEXAS is Better than Bankrupt Illinois....
It's 106 miles to Chicago....we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it!
Well done mate. Also a bucket list thing for me too. Unfortunately over here in Oz, 1974 Dodge Monaco's just don't exist. Good work.
I hate Illinois Nazis...

Lovely car!
Nicely done! The driving scenes look exactly like the car in the movie!
Dodge Monacos are The Car =D
Damn shit box dodge.
Good tour. Going there for 4th of July fireworks and wanted to see what to expect. :)
I go to buddy league every Saturday that there is a game
Beautiful car. But MAN, you've gotta dirty up that front license plate. It stands out like a rotten brushstroke within a masterpiece.

very cool
GORGEOUS!! I love it.
Enjoy that BluMo. I'm certainly enjoying mine.
