Despite spotty attendance and an unimpressive roster, player-manager "Stud" Cantrell (William Petersen) is determined to lead his Tampico Stogies to baseball glory. Aiding him are infielder Jamie Weeks (Dermot Mulroney) and catcher Joe Louis Brown (Larry Riley), an African-American player who gets an earful from racist fans. Success on the field might just prevent the team's owners, Hale Buchman (Henry Gibson) and Hale Jr. (Teller), from unloading the Stogies to the highest bidder.

Jamie S One of the greatest baseball movies you've probably never heard of. Hard to find since HBO refuses to re-release it for some inexplicable reason. A must see if you can find it. let's go stogies! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/14/24 Full Review Audience Member This is a hard to find gem of a baseball movie. Maybe because it was an HBO and not on the big screen. But if you can find it this is well worth watching. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Probably the most underrated sports film of all time top 5 baseball films of all time i recommend anyone who is a baseball fan should watch this film Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member If ever there was a movie that deserved to be released on Deev or blu-ray, this just might be it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best baseball movies out there. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member This is one of the top 5 baseball movies ever made. Ranks right up there with movies like Bull Durham, Major League, Field of Dreams, and The Natural. A fictional team set in the 40s this movie deals with the highs and lows of a minor league baseball player and some of the issues of the time like Racism and overcoming adversity. The characters are extremely well written, well devloped and likeable. Any baseball player or baseball fan will love this movie and most will appreciate it for its light comedy, underdog story and overall fun "guy movie" feel. A must see for all baseball fans.
