Cape Players in the Film
One of the great things about the Cape Cod Baseball League is you can see future MLB stars up close as they transition from college to professional baseball. You can then follow their progress in the succeeding years as they make their climb through the Minor Leagues. One in seven Cape players eventually make it to the Major Leagues. Touching The Game, The Story of The Cape Cod Baseball League was primarily filmed in the summer of 2003. In this film, we speak to many hopeful prospects about playing on the Cape, and in some cases we follow them through the seven-week CCBL season.
The following is an update on where those players are now.
