Filming of the scenes of the Little League World Series (involving the North Vegas team) were done (on location At Howard J. Lamade Stadium in [South] Williamsport)in June of 2001, two months before the actual LLWS of that year, so no one had any idea of Danny Almonte.

Yeah, reading the synopsis of the film, the "Little Unit" is the first thing to come to mind . . . however mfjuran I guess it's just a coincidence that Almonte's story was pretty similar to this film's, which I haven't seen.

If a machine, a Terminator can learn the value of a life, maybe we can too . . .

One of the reasons that Mickey was not widely released is the Almonte story. The producers thought that if the movie was released it would be treated as a true story and would create problems. The main reason that it was not released is that the studio thought that it would not appeal to a wide enough demographic.
