It's all about building relationships. As you get to that point where everybody feels respect and trust, now we can really get somewhere. -

Here's the 0-1. (crack of the bat) This is gonna be a tough play. Bryant! The Cubs win the World Series! (crowd roars) (slow whistling music) Back in Hazelton, things were a little bit tough. Everything's been in a steady, slow decline. There's been no real economic boom around here since coal. There's no streetlights, but there's potholes everywhere and all you hear about it all the tension in the city. Wow. Get out! -

Man In Crowd

There's no need of yelling. Get out! -

Hazelton mayor Louis Barletta is now defending the Illegal Immigration Relief Act passed by the city council. The city ordinance would fine landlords who rent to illegals or employers who hire them. There's so much misinformation going on here. You gotta call the madness at some point. You gotta put your foot on its neck. That's why we did what we did. -

Play ball! (crowd cheering) Let's go Oliver! You wanna make kids friends fast, put 'em on the same team, with the same common goal. And I promise you, color of skin, language barriers, what you like to eat, that goes away just like that. Make them interact with one another, because I tell you what, the parents are gonna follow, man. They gotta come pick 'em up, they gotta come watch 'em play. And then at some point you gotta start talkin' to one another. And, I like 'em! I like this guy, I like this lady, I mean they're good people. (kids cheering) The moment we trust each other, at that point we can build something. One, two, three, Hazelton!
