“Million Dollar Arm” Pitcher Hopes to Reach Big Leagues


It’s a big weekend for Rinku Singh. The 25-year-old native of India is the man whose story is told in the new Disney film, “Million Dollar Arm.” Singh, a minor leaguer in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization tells the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that all the attention from the film is nice, but he’d rather be pitching in the Major Leagues. Singh had never thrown a baseball before when he won a contest to see who could throw a ball the hardest and most accurately. The winner was to be groomed to be a professional pitcher in the U.S.
