Spirit of The Game (Mormon Yankees) Movie

The following is an excerpt from an article originally found at LDS Media Talk.

The Mormon Yankees made worldwide history in 1956 when they took on the task of helping the struggling Australian basketball team prepare for the Olympic games. In doing so, this small group of LDS missionary athletes unified an entire nation that was still reeling from the aftermath of World War II.

I attended a pre-release screening of the movie and found it to be engaging and uplifting. It will have you cheering in your seat. Whether you’re LDS or not, Australian or Yankee, the faith and sportsmanship of the Mormon Yankees will inspire you.
