Rookie of the Year (1993) - a podcast by The Back Row Network

The popcorn gang watched the totally realistic baseball film Rookie of the Year to kickstart their month of baseball movies. 

 

The boys are playing hardball and cover things such as: How can a kid obsessed with baseball be so bad? Was Henry on the pitching rubber during the hidden ball trick? Can this kid please stop staring directly into the camera!? 

 

A few other things covered: a highly medicated and mustached Gary Busey, the madness of the dip swallowing brain damaged pitching coach that is Daniel Stern, Ted Williams's frozen head, a 12 year old comparing his manhood with a bunch of professional baseball players, and, most importantly: if Harry Caray was in this movie what would he have to say? 

 

All of this and more, so get ready to eat some soggy overpriced hotdogs with a $12 flat beer because it’s baseball season!
