Then I watched Cross Game. I realized that sports weren’t just athletes competing in a game. Sports were stories, stories of people and how sports play a defining role in their lives.
The way Cross Game captured the culture of baseball is nothing short of perfect. The way the game is displayed, to the way the main characters and the family of the main characters all live with and around it is shown perfectly.
The way the characters grow through out the show, not only as athletes, but as people, is a joy to watch.
The story of Cross Game is a bittersweet one. It’s a story of overcoming, hard work, togetherness and even romance. I recommend this show to anyone with a love for sports, you will not be disappointed.
