Average baseball movie

Rating: 6/10 (16 September 2001)

This movie was good, but it didn't really stand out to me that much. Watching it was just like watching any other baseball movie. It was also very unclear about some parts.
It begins with Keanu Reeves's character, Conor, being beat up by this guy who he obviously owes money too. Why he owes money is a tad confusing until a couple minutes later when you find out that Conor is a gambler in serious debt. Conor then goes to a friend of his (It's unclear as to what his friend does for a living. I think he's an accountant or a banker. Like I said, it's unclear.) to borrow $12,000 so that he can get out of his debt. His friend says he can't do that, but he will pay him $500 a week if he coaches a baseball team of young boys.
Basically, Conor teaches the boys how to become a winning team.

If your a baseball fan or a Keanu Reeves fan, then see the movie. But if not... wait for this to come out on video.
3 out of 5 stars.
