MOJO’s New ‘Docu-Reality’ Series "The Show" Profiles Six Minor League Baseball Players and their Attempts to Reach the Majors (April 30 - New York, NY) When six members of Major League Baseball’s Arizona Diamondback’s Triple A Team the Sidewinders gaze into their futures, they, like all minor league ballplayers dream of making it into the majors. MOJO’s new Hi-Def series "The Show" premieres May 30 at 10PM, ET/PT. "The Show" is a window into the relentless physical and mental demands on players trying to achieve the ultimate goal: gaining a place on a major league teams’ roster (a.k.a. arriving at “the show”). The series of six half-hour episodes is narrated by Joe Mantegna (Godfather III, Searching for Bobby Fischer) and is produced by Al Roker Entertainment, Inc. Shoot and Move Media, LLC and Major League Baseball Productions, Inc.. Some Arizona Sidewinders will rise to the majors. As the season unfolds, their athletic skills develop and each deals with escalating stress. Insights into each player’s personality, aspirations and self-doubts provide a compelling look at what separates the fantasy from the harsh reality of what it takes to succeed. Many desire the dream—few get to attain it. "The Show" grants the rare opportunity to observe just how hard it is. "The Show is for anyone who has ever dreamt of making it in sports or anything, for that matter," says executive producer Al Roker. "Six minor league ball players show us major league determination and the heart and soul it takes to become a great team player." The questions that surround the players featured are: Who makes it into “the show”? Can the player be consistent on a big league level? Is there a position available? What if the player is not seen as a “hot prospect”? How long will the team give them? What separates those who do succeed and those who don’t? When does a player give up his dream? ### Close Window
