Summary

Baseball Saved Us, is a strong story about enduring through an extremely tough time of discrimination and hatred. It is centered on a Japanese/American family and their youngest son, "Shorty". Shorty's family and friends were placed in an internment camp during WWII. With the help of fellow prisoners they create a baseball field which allowed them to endure times of humiliation and degradation in the camp. Even after leaving the camp, Shorty was still the target of humiliation and continued discrimination. Eventually he gains enough strength to hit the game winning home run.
