Rookie, The

Rookie, The

2002

Jim Morris (Dennis Quaid) strikes an intriguing bargain with the Texas high school baseball team he coaches: If they make the playoffs, he'll try out for a pitcher position with a big league team. The high schoolers hold up their end of the deal, and, against longer odds than Satchel Paige faced during his legendary comeback, Morris makes the team, fulfilling his lifelong dream.

Sometimes dreams come back to life.
