Running the Bases

Less than a week after Roe v. Wade was abolished the Supreme Court decided that Coach Joe Kennedy can kneel in prayer on the 50-yard line after his public school football team plays. Now, a week after Lifemark spoke eloquently about adoption into the post-Roe conversation, the film Running the Bases opens in 1,100 theaters coast to coast! It tells the story of a baseball coach who, after the game is played, win or lose, runs the bases and kneels to pray at home base, and he’s criticized for it. It could have been inspired by Coach Kennedy’s story… except that it was written six years ago, before Coach Kennedy’s case was making national news.
