Rookie of the Year

Dir. Daniel Stern USA 104 min PG

1993 Disney & 20th Century

There's a lot of great sports movies out there, but not many that are as fun as 1993's Rookie of the Year. Packed with silliness, the film is a delightful story of underdogs and big dreams.

He may be just a clumsy kid, but when the cast is removed from his broken arm, 12-year-old Henry Rowengartner (Thomas Ian Nicholas) can hurl a baseball at the speed of 100 miles an hour! Not only that, but the Chicago Cubs have learned about Henry’s ability, and they want him to help pull their team up from last place. With help from an aging pitching ace (Gary Busey), Henry just might do it!

Reviews
"If you are a kid, and you have ever for a moment wondered what it would be like to play major-league ball at your age, then take it from the old Little Leaguer and see this movie." – Roger Ebert
