Sixteen-year old polio survivor Dave Clark refuses to wear the leg
brace his doctors have prescribed, afraid it will interfere with
his chances of one day becoming a professional baseball player.
Although Lillian and Bernard Clark know that playing baseball is
probably an impossible goal for their disabled son, the devoted
parents won't stand in the way of his dreams. Little do they know
that Dave Clark will grow up to be not merely a baseball player,
but an inspirational legend of this great American pastime. Diamond
in the Rough: The Dave Clark Story is the true story of one
incredible man who refused to give up his dream to play
professional baseball, despite the crippling aftermath of polio.
Much more than a story about baseball, it is a motivational record
of Clark's amazing and inspiring life. Learning to play the game on
a home field while still using crutches, Clark boldly pursues his
dream, ultimately entering the professional stage as a pitcher in
the minor leagues at just five-foot, two-inches tall. Clark's
simple philosophy of "You get knocked down, you get up" is the
humble foundation for this stirring story of persistence, hope, and
a young man's love for the game of baseball.
