Inspired by watching a professional cricket match on ESPN late one evening, J.B. traveled across the world to India with the plan and dream of finding Major League Baseball's (MLB) first Indian born player.
Bernstein actually found two boys named Rinku and Dinesh that he brought back to the US to became baseball pitchers. Seven months later they both became the 1st Indian born athletes to ever sign professional sports contracts in the USA, in any sport.
