- Synopsis:
- High school coach Jim Morris (Dennis Quaid) thought his dream was over. He'd had his shot playing baseball, blew out his shoulder, and retired without ever reaching the big leagues. Then, in 1999, he made a bet with his perpetually losing team: if they won the district championship, Morris - who threw a 98 mph fastball - would try out for the majors. The team went from worst to first, and Jim was soon on the road to becoming the oldest rookie in the major leagues!

Typical Disney Fare - The Rookie review by CP Customer
A feel good movie for the whole family. Disney doing what it does best and doing it well. Not award winning but watchable none the less.
