Features: DVD
No one knows the game better than Billy (Luke Edwards), and he can put his knowledge to the test when he inherits the Twins from his grandpa (Jason Robards). But how can he deal with batting slumps, pampered egos, and labor disputes? By teaching the guys there is no "I" in team. Timothy Busfield, John Ashton and real life ball players like Ken Griffy Jr. and Lou Pinella add to the good times of this grand slam winner.
"Two thumbs up!" Siskel & Ebert
Editor's Note
When a boy inherits ownership of the Minnesota Twins, he assigns himself the job of manager and gives the team (and baseball) a new look.
Plot Summary
Comedy about young Billy Heywood, who inherits the failing Minnesota Twins from his late grandfather. Billy names himself manager, to the dismay of the jaded ballplayers. The team eventually accepts Billy (and starts winning games), encouraged by his advice to treat baseball as a game, not as a job.
