Major League Believers

Some baseball players aren't just All-Stars, they are also good Catholics. In a movie that came out earlier this season, Champions of Faith: Baseball Edition, Catholic stars such as the Athletics' Mike Piazza, the Mets' Tom Glavin, and the Tigers' Ivan Rodriguez share how they are shaped by their beliefs and learn spiritual lessons from the game.

The Royals' Mike Sweeney and the Brewers' Jeff Suppan not only appear in the film but are also active with Catholic Athletes for Christ. This group of athletes--from baseball players to figure skaters--speak about and act on their faith, using the sports and celebrity to spread the Word of God.
