Mr. 3000

Stan Ross is a forty-seven year old retired major league player. Thinking that his 3,000 hits will qualify him for the Baseball Hall of Fame, he is shocked to learn that he only has 2,997 hits. Ross arranges to rejoin his team, the Brewers  just long enough to make the 3000 hits. The young players consider him old, his former manager objects to him using the team, and his former love interest sees the same old self-centered player. Getting three hits is not easy but as Ross struggles at the plate he begins to realize how much he loves the game. Eventually Ross becomes a real leader, encouraging the players to function as a team. Will Ross reach his 300th hit before the end of the season? The late Bernie Mac played Ross and was very good as the over the hill player. The soundtrack was excellent. If you are a baseball fan, this is a movie for you.
