*** 1/2

Rating: 9/10 (24 February 2015)

What made this movie so good was that it finally presented baseball in terms of having fun and not necessarily the money angle which has become so prevalent in this major American sport.
Jon Hamm was excellent in the role of the agent who goes from seeing the big money angle to the exact opposite.
He goes to India to recruit prospective pitchers for the big league in an attempt to sign them at big salaries. He finds his guys and brings them back to the U.S. but after a series of disasters brought about due to the psychological, social and cultural differences between countries, he sees them fail miserably at tryouts.
It is only when he comes to see that baseball is not solely an investment,that success is achieved in the end. There were times that Hamm's facial expressions reminded me of his Don Draper of "Mad Men." There are the usual disasters, love interests and other items deemed comical, but in the end it's the human element that allows for success to be achieved.
