&lt;p&gt;Japan&#039;s Chiba Lotte Marines&#039; manager Bobby Valentine (R) celebrates after winning the final of the baseball Asia Series 2005 against South Korea&#039;s Samsung Lions in Tokyo. Valentine hit only 12 home runs during 10 seasons as a player in Major League Baseball, so he knows something about tough pitches. Now managing the Chiba Lotte Marines in Japan, Valentine received a relentless pitch from three young filmmakers who wanted to document an entire season of his in Japan. REUTERS/Toru Hanai&lt;/p&gt;
