The rookie
Threat advisory: Under evaluation
Movie propaganda
It's never too late to believe in your dreams.
Joe Morris (Dennis Quaid) dreamed his whole life of playing major league baseball and has an awesome pitch. His childhood, moving from town to town with his military father doesn't allow him to fulfil his dream. Eventually he settles down in Texas, has his own family and becomes a teacher and baseball coach. His team stinks as there is no support for baseball but he perseveres in convincing them to go for the play-offs and makes a deal that he will try out for the major league if they try for the play-offs. At the age of 35, Joe enters the big league.
Based on a real story.
