Baseball All-Stars Speak at Faith-Filled Premiere

Three of the biggest names in Major League Baseball (MLB) came together this past Sunday night in Phoenix for the world premiere of their newest faith-focused venture based on America’s favorite pastime.

Among others, baseball all-stars Mike Piazza, Jeff Suppan, and Mike Sweeney all made appearances at the launching of the inspirational film Champions of Faith: Baseball Edition, which uses their sport as a metaphor for life. Each spoke about how their faith has shaped their careers.

The film, which will be available only on DVD, shows how faith plays a crucial part in even today’s greatest sports heroes, and humanizes them, showing the audience how God speaks to everyone in the same way.

“This is not just a sports film,” explained Piazza, current designated hitter for the Oakland Athletics and twelve-time all-star. “It’s a work of art.”
