Palms Park
In 1969, a group of kids at Palms Park in West Los Angeles turned a neighborhood park into a homemade dirt track and helped launch the sport of BMX.This incredible true story is a reminder that the greatest sports stories don’t always happen beneath bright lights and in front of roaring crowds. Sometimes they begin in your own backyard with a handful of kids and a summer they’ll never forget.

WSP-All Stars
Picture the 1911 Yankees... except they're all prison inmates. This is the unbelievable true story of the Wyoming State Penitentiary All-Stars and their biggest star, Joseph Seng, a convict running out of time who unexpectedly becomes a young batboy's mentor. But this isn't really a story about balls and strikes. It's about a kid who learns that heroes aren't perfect... they're human. And why baseball, a game built on failure more than success, has always been a game of second chances.

<...Paul the Octopus
The biggest star of the 2010 World Cup wasn’t Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. It was an octopus named Paul, an ordinary sea creature with an extraordinary knack for predicting soccer matches. Was Paul an oracle? A publicity stunt? Just a lucky octopus riding a hot streak? Dive into this story about how the World Cup connects us and the power of belief.

Tubby Johnston
Long before girls were allowed to play Little League, Kathryn “Tubby” Johnston loved baseball so much she disguised herself as a boy, lied about her name and played her way onto a Little League team in 1950s America. What started as the pursuit of a childhood dream became a symbolic act of rebellion that helped crack open the sport for generations of girls to come.

Panyee FC
On a tiny floating village in southern Thailand, a group of boys dream of playing futbol after watching the 1986 FIFA World Cup. The problem? Their home has nowhere to play futbol. So the boys build a pitch on the water. What begins as a few planks nailed together becomes something much bigger — a team, a dream, and eventually the legend of Panyee FC is born, proving that no matter where you build it, the beautiful game will come.
