Baseball fantasy film strikes out with a too long story
The film opens with warm moments but drags by at least half an hour. Luke Edwards plays Billy Heywood a 12 year old who knows baseball history stats and strategies. Jason Robards is Billy's warm father figure and dies off screen, leaving the Twins to Billy. The plot follows Billy as he fires a mean manager and tries to make the team win through his visions. Real players appear including Ken Griffey Jr and Randy Johnson. The film falters with subplots and predictable reins of power, despite moments of charm and humor.
