Hardball

Hardball

2001

Gambler and all-around slouch Conor O'Neill (Keanu Reeves) owes someone a lot of money, so he strikes a bargain: He'll coach a Little League baseball team from Chicago's notorious Cabrini Green housing projects if a friend will lend him money to square his debts. Soon, however, the two-time loser finds heart on the field and the possibility of love with the kids' teacher (Diane Lane) off it in this heartwarming drama.

In a place where all bets are off, he's got nothing to lose.
