Summary: America's Great Past Time Meets Sci-Fi
Comment: This would be one of my favorite episodes, which marks the directorial debut of David Duchovny.
Touches on subjects like racism, friendships, sacrifice (albeit briefly). Gives us insight into the culture/traditions of an alien race living amongst us & the lenghts one would go through to break away from them. With a backdrop of 1940's America.
Excellent music in the background, primarily that of "Come and Go With Me to That Land" by Bernice Johnson Reagon
(We hear the version sung by: The Blind Boys of Alabama)
In a nutshell it's a touching story of how baseball brought together two unlikely friends & the freedom many of us feel on the playing field.
