According to the agreement, they will be raised by the base until they are 18 years old without compensation.
Sun Lingfeng said, "If there is no baseball, I would be a first-rate hooligan." In the life of this group of teenagers, baseball is their weapon of destiny—every ball thrown is a choice, every ball thrown Sticks are beating destiny-the film "Bang! The slogan of "Juvenile" is the echo of the voice of these teenagers.
