Downright irriestiable.

Rating: 9/10 (27 November 2002)

Amusing and fun-filled baseball comedy about some players of the Cleveland Indians who band together to make a serious run for the play-offs when they hear that their new owner has plans to move the team to Florida.
Writer/director David S. Ward ("Down Periscope") has served up a charming and in-genius treat for anyone who still love the game of baseball despite what has happened to the game in recent years. The cast that Ward has assembled here (Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, Wesley Snipes, Rene Russo, etc.) is marvelous. In addition, two notable former big leaguers (Pete Vukovich and Bob Uecker) also appear in the movie.
There are plenty of nice touches applied here, such as having the old County Stadium (home of the Brewers) and some of Uecker's punch-lines make the film downright irriestiable.
