1990s Baseball Movie
Right of the bat, so to speak, this is not a movie that received great reviews but I did enjoy this comedy. Tom Selleck plays an aging Yankees player who is traded to a Japanese team. When Jack Elliot reports to his team, The Dragons, he soon experiences culture shock. Elliot continues his American ways, arguing with the umpire, challenging the manager and other behaviors that impact his performance. After he learns that his career is in jeopardy, Elliot apologies to his team. His teammates rally around him but is the newly found teamwork in time to win the pennant? Tom Selleck is perfect as the aging player who acts like the stereotypical ugly American. It was a lot of fun watching the clash of cultures. If you want a evening of pure fun and entertainment, while this might not hit a home run, certainly will get you a double bagger.
