In Mexico, Al attends a local baseball game in which Steve Nebraska (Brendan Fraser) is playing and is impressed when he witnesses Steve's fastball and his home runs.

This is a decent comedy about a New York Yankees baseball scout who finds a great young pitcher. The film stars Albert Brooks as the scout and Brendan Fraser as the prospect. The film has a solid story and supporting cast. I enjoyed it. If your a baseball or sports movie fan then I would suggest checking this film out.
