Rickey Hill was born with bad legs and a bad back. Nevertheless, he has a God-given skill to hit the baseball. On the other hand, his strict pastor father (Dennis Quaid) refuses to let him play and is obsessed with him following his preaching footsteps. His dream rests in the hands of legendary scout Red Murff (Scott Glenn).
This is a biographical sports movie and Christian movie. It is a basic underdog story. I would like his father's thinking to be clearer. It could be that he wants him to preach, but it also could be his lack of faith in his abilities. It's just weirdly unknowable like a story written from the son's point of view. Dennis Quaid is operating at one gear. Scott Glenn is shocking old, but it's still great to see him. None of the younger actors are that memorable. This is fine but nothing great.
