Pitcher Jeremy Cummings of the U.S. Olympic baseball team warms up during practice in Cary, N.C., Thursday, July 31, 2008. Cummings' career seemingly was nearing its end when he was cut in spring training and his only offer to keep pitching sent him all the way to Taiwan. After finally catching on with the Triple-A Durham Bulls, whose fictional fame on the big screen focused on another career minor leaguer, Crash Davis, Cummings has earned a chance to chase an Olympic gold medal.
