A Mile In His Shoes on DVD Today + A GIVEAWAY


Only a miracle can help baseball coach Arthur “Murph” Murphy (Dean Cain) and his losing minor league baseball team. As Murph sets out to recruit new talent, he stumbles upon Mickey (Luke Schroder), a young farmer with an incredible pitcher’s arm. However, Mickey’s parents are reluctant in allowing him to join the team because he has Asperger’s syndrome, a form of autism. Murph convinces Mickey’s parents that life in the minor league will benefit their unique son, but he doesn’t realize just how much his new recruit will help the team’s game and, more importantly, their spirit. Based on a true story, A Mile in His Shoes is an inspirational film that celebrates faith, determination and the power of friendship.

The 411:
Such a beautiful movie. I loved it!

Dean Cain plays a "Murph", a minor league coach who is sent out on a wild goose chase by his superior to visit a potential new recruit. Divine intervention steps in and provides him with a flat that forces him to do some leg work and find a phone. He ends up at a farm house where young Mickey is pitching apples like a pro for the pigs on his parents farm.

Murph recognizes talent and asks his reluctant parents if he can have Mickey try out for the league. His protective father isn't into it, Mickey has Aspergers. In the scene where his mother quietly talks the father into allowing Mickey to try out, I felt my throat clench up in what would be my first cry of the movie!

Things are hard for Mickey in the beginning since change isn't something that is easy for him and some evil, jealous teammates try to bring him down. But Mickey has good people watching his back and eventually manages to change the whole team plus the coach who has some healing of his own to do.



Based on a true story, this is a wonderful, feel good movie that will have you smiling at the end.

Dean Cain superman does a great job as the hero who plucks a farm boy from obscurity and gives him a life his parents couldn't have even dream of.

Luke Schroder (Rick Schroder's son) does a great job in his first movie as Mickey. Big props to the writers and director who didn't focus allow the umbrella of Aspergers to overshadow a really great movie about strength, hope, taking chances, and the power of love.

The DVD also comes with a 4 x 6 original Limited Edition Thomas Kincade with certificate of authentication.
