Austin ) is young baseball fan, whose father Stanley ( Mandy Patinkin ) works as a janitor for Yankee Stadium. While the two are on the premises, a thief steals Babe Ruth 's famous bat Darlin ' ( Whoopi Goldberg ), with the result that Yankee 's father is blamed and fired, who blamed Yankee for stealing it and framing his own father. The true thief is Lefty Maginnis ( William H. Macy ), a pitcher for the Chicago Cubs. Lefty works for Cubs owner Napoleon Cross ( Robin Williams ), who desires to see the Cubs defeat the Yankees during the 1932 World Series. Stealing the bat back, Yankee decides to return it to Ruth and thereby exonerate his father by journeying across the country to Chicago, where the next World Series ' games will be played. Darlin ' is able to speak, as does her counterpart Screwie ( Rob Reiner ), a baseball, who she constantly argues and bickers with ( though near the end, they finally become friends ). Much of the plot is driven by Lefty 's comic attempts to retrieve the bat from Yankee, with slapstick results. Other scenes involve Yankee meeting others who will help him in his quest : several hobos ( Ed Helms ) ; Marti ( Raven - Symone ), an African American girl ; her baseball player father Lonnie Brewster ( Forest Whitaker ) ; and in Chicago, Babe Ruth himself ( Brian Dennehy ). A series of improbable coincidences allows Yankee himself to bat for the Yankees, resulting in the archetypal home run ( technically, a series of errors after an infield pop - up that allow him to round the bases ). This restores the morale of the Yankees, who score 7 more runs to take the lead and win the World Series. Cross tries to talk Babe Ruth out of accepting the victory, saying that Yankee is too young to be a counting player. This leads to the arrest of Cross, who simply says that he was a fan that cheated. When his part in the plan is revealed, Lefty is banished from the team, although he is able to stay out of jail. Yankee also successfully exonerates his father. Yankee returns home, now knowing what is truly important in baseball. Cast Main Jake T.

Weekly called the themes `` fairly pro forma '' and cited the film 's `` antique Rockwellian look '' as `` its greatest pleasure ''.
