The Boston Red Sox is a franchise with exciting history. In 1912, they won the pennant and went on to win the World Series. After a terrible 2012 season, the Red Sox regrouped and returned to the World Series. In six games, they beat the Cardinals to win their eighth World Series title. The following year, the team went on a steep fall and lost 91 games.

Review:

Arriving on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD on October 7, 2014 is the Million Dollar Arm. The film is directed by Craig Gillespie (Fright Night) and stars John Hamm, Aasif Mandvi, Bill Paxton, Suraj Sharma, Lake Bell and Alan Arkin. Special Features include: Training Camp: actors Suraj Sharma and Madhur Mittal face the same daunting challenge that their characters Rinku and Dinesh did - learning how to pitch a baseball; Their Story - the real JB Bernstein, Rinku and Dinesh explore the legacy of the Million Dollar Arm contest and its impact on the lives and aspirations of children in India ... and their own lives as well; Million Dollar Music By A.R. Raham - The Oscar-winning composer (Best Original Score, Slumdog Millionaire, 2008) talks about creating music that encompasses two worlds - India and the U.S.; alternate ending; deleted scenes and outtakes.

Based on the true story, Million Dollar Arm centers on JB Bernstein (played by Jon Hamm), a sports agent who is struggling to keep the doors to his business open. After flipping through channels late one night, he stumbles upon Britain's Got Talent and a cricket match, resulting in an idea that may save his business. Bernstein and his business partner Ash (played by Aasif Mandvi) convinces Chang, a sports business investor, into backing their idea of running a contest called the Million Dollar Arm in India. The contest is to find the best cricket bowlers, which the winners receive $100,000 and will travel to the United States to train for a tryout for the MLB.

Bernstein doesn't find just one suitable candidate, but he finds two - Suraj Sharma and Madhur Mittal, two young men that have no clue how to play baseball.
