Even if you aren't a huge fan of the game of baseball, you may become a fan of a new documentary with ties to Louisville.

"Curveballs ... Secrets to the Game of Life" is the inspiring true story of the world's first competitive baseball team made up of amputees.

The film tells the story of The Louisville Slugger Warriors, a nationally sponsored and extremely competitive amputee baseball team that consists of U.S. military veterans, active-duty personnel, wounded warriors and current and former amputee college baseball players.

"Louisville Slugger was the team’s first sponsor before it got off the ground 15 years ago," Rick Redman, vice president of corporate communications for Hillerich & Bradsby Co.
