In the heat of the Arizona sun, at a field normally used by Major League Baseball prospects, a group of players who speak not a word of English do their best to comprehend the basics of the most American of games.

They are Chinese - gifted natural athletes who know more about gymnastics and table tennis than double plays and sacrifice flies. Their coaches are American - retired from the Majors, looking to help bring together two of the world's most disconnected cultures through the international language of baseball.

Welcome to Out of Left Field - a remarkable glimpse into this world - a first-of-its-kind opportunity to see the emergence of a sport in a nation that once considered baseball "cultural pollution." Jim Lefebvre, former player and coach with the Los Angeles Dodgers, is in charge of turning Chinese players with limited skills into Olympic-caliber athletes. Along with a handful of other retired pros - and with the cooperation of Major League Baseball - they are helping to bring America's game to a nation with one-fifth of the world's population.
