A lot of people are probably losing respect for America's pastime since the A-Rod steroid scandal hit el roof, but do we really know what goes on behind the bases?

Take position and swing into the new Sony classic movie Sugar. The script takes us on the journey of Miguel Santos, a.k.a Azucar, a Dominican pitcher from San Pedro de Macoris, who struggles to make it to the big leagues to pull his family out of poverty. Playing professionally at the Kansas City Knights baseball academy, Miguel finally gets his break at age 19 when he advances to the United States' minor league system.

Leaving behind a close knit familia in DR, Miguel faces many obstacles moving to the U.S. and trying to adapt to a new language and lifestyle. However, immense pressure finally makes him question his dreams and where they fit in the world around him.

What we love about this movie: Algenis Perez Soto hits a home-run in this coming-of-age película. The scenes of his character ordering French toast everyday because that's all he knows how to say in English mirrors the path of many first generation immigrants, while providing an undying sense of hope.

Catch Sugar when it opens in NY and LA this Friday, April 3. You might leave the theater with a little sympathy for A-Rod after all.
