Enredo
Você sabia?
- CuriosidadesJohn Candy, as the radio broadcaster, is uncredited. His role isn't mentioned in the movie credits because he wasn't originally cast in the movie.
- Erros de gravaçãoWhen Henry is called from the dugout for the first time, the "Rocket" is pitching and everyone seems to act like he had a horrible game. However, after the game, the announcer, says that Henry got the save with a 5-4 win. Henry gave up a Home Run, so the worst that the "Rocket" could have done was throw 7 innings giving up only 3 runs, which is pretty good by anyone's standards.

Dr. Kersten: [muffled, with hands over his face] Funky, buttloving...!
George: Did he say "funky buttloving?"

If you are unwilling to accept the basic premise of the film, that a child who has surgery on a broken arm is suddenly able to throw a pitch over 100 miles per hour, you aren't going to like this movie. I've been a baseball fan for 60 years and I know when a baseball movie is going to present an accurate portrayal of the game. If you read anything about this film and you are a purist, there are probably another ten movie to pick from this day. That said, this is a delightful film with a joyfulness that brings back memories of what it was like to be a mediocre baseball player, still hoping to be a major leaguer someday. The boy in this film is klutzy, so his entrance into a major league game is filled with fear and worry. There are good guys and bad guys, especially the father candidate. At some point, we know that reality will set in and, like "Damn Yankees," someone is going to have to face a real situation. This is just charming and fun. Enjoy it. It was never meant to be a documentary.
