Once a famous baseball player, Morris (played by Billy Bob Thornton) was banned for attacking an umpire and subsequently fell into a life of alcoholism and self-destruction. Under the persuasion and financial temptation of lawyer Liz (played by Marcia Gay Harden), Morris returns to the field, but as the coach of a youth baseball team. This team is a tragic sight, giving Morris headaches with a group of 12-year-old kids: a gluttonous chubby boy, a combative little hothead, a discriminated foreigner, a clumsy kid with no athletic ability, and even a child in a wheelchair. What lies before Morris seems to be an impossible task... The film won the Best Performance Award at the 2006 Young Artist Awards (for all the young actors).
