    I first saw this movie when I was a kid. The story is is meant as light hearted fun. Moves quickly, and with Edmund Gwen you can't go wrong. It's one of those classics meant to pass a bit of time coming away with a feeling of enjoyment. Whether intended or not it managed to stay with me my whole life. Sally forgets her lunch one day, and prays to Saint Anne, when she gets in trouble for where she left her lunch she calls Saint Anne a snitched. Two nuns over hear her, one thinks its impudence the other calls it faith. As time goes on others also have faith in Sally praying to Saint Anne. whether Catholic, or not, it's just fun movie, it never gets religious, doesn't preach at audiences. If looking for a more devotional type film, try Joan of Arc, or Our Lady of Fatima. If looking for the kind of light hearted humor, with core value of family's stick together, and yes some Irish stereotypes of the era, this is one to watch. Hard to find, rarely aired, but worth the time to watch.

12-year-old Henry Rowengartner, whose late father was a minor league baseball player, grew up dreaming of playing baseball, despite his physical shortcomings. After Henry's arm is broken while trying to catch a baseball at school, the tendon in that arm heals too tightly, allowing Henry to throw pitches that are as fast as 103 mph. Henry is spotted at nearby Wrigley Field by Larry "Fish" Fisher, the general manager of the struggling Chicago Cubs, after Henry throws an opponent's home-run ball all the way from the outfield bleachers back to the catcher, and it seems that Henry may be the pitcher that team owner Bob Carson has been praying for.
