Synopsis ; It is 1945, on the island of Awajishima , in the Inland Sea . Japan has just lost the war and the fifth- graders are being taught how to commit harakiri in one classroom, the confucian analects in the next, and American English in yet another. One of the teachers is a newly-wed who has lost her husband in the war. To channel the children's energy and her own and to rebuild the confidence of both, she decides to organize an American baseball team. The children respond with enthusiasm and soon the day comes when they are ready to play in the big league- this league being real American ballplayers from a mainland Army camp. .
