Amazon.com:
Edward James Olmos, his face as weathered as the glove he packs in his suitcase, hits it out of the park as Virgil Sweet, a California Angels scout--"the last of a dying breed"--who travels from coal mines to cornfields in search of a phenom. His newest discovery is pitching prospect Sammy Bodeen, an Idaho farm boy around whom the team's hateful pony-tailed billionaire new owner orchestrates a massive marketing campaign. It's up to Virgil to ensure that the kid lives up to the hype. This 1991 drama struck out in its bid for a wide theatrical release, but until its credulity-straining Big Game climax and disappointingly cynical conclusion, it qualifies as the kind of "hold on to your dreams" sleeper that always connects with baseball movie fans. --Donald Liebenson

Simple: I can't remember a worse baseball movie. The ballgame at the end contains a twist so improbable that I thought I had fallen into a Disney cartoon. Poorly written and a waste of a top shelf talent in Olmos. Get this one only if you want to howl at all the cliches, or see it with a bunch of friends and make someone drink some, uh, Koolade whenever Olmos says, "Kid." Sugar rush guaranteed.

an outstanding family film. good story. not sure if it was ever released to theaters and not sure what the critics said (and frankly dont care). It was a great story.

Even though this movie did not win everyone's heart ( and I understand),this was a good baseball movie about overcoming the odds. A fine cast with Edward James Olmos as a baseball scout in search of a player from the fields of Idaho to help the stuggling California (now L.A. Angels of Anaheim) Angels. One thing that made me wonder in the closing minutes of the movie. The Angels were down but the movie never mentioned if the Angels won their game over the Royals! It's a mystery! Anyway I thought it ... Read More

In spite of a talented cast, this movie is pretty poor, I couldn't even watch it the whole way, and I love baseball movies. That might be part of it, if you know any thing about baseball, important parts of the plot are just too fantastic, too illogical, too incredulous to accept, even for a couple of hours while watching a movie. The lines are so poor even Almos, one of the most talented actors of his time, is unable to sound convincing (he says "son" so often he'll actually get on your nerves). ... Read More

Edward James Olmos is a great actor. He is the only reason that I gave this movie even a '2 rating'.
This was a very disappointing, far from memorable movie. I will probably pass it on to one of my grandsons who likes baseball.
I found this movie to be boring and predictable.
