| Synopsis |
| Gus, Richie and Clark are three underdogs who spent
a great deal of time on the bench when they were kids. Now, they're
getting a second chance. Mel is a local billionaire whose son Nelson
is always being intimidated by the other kids. One day, Gus and Clark
rescue Nelson from a bunch of bullies on the baseball field. When
Max tells his father about the incident, Mel makes Gus, Clark and
Richie a tantalizing proposition: He will put up the money for them
to travel and play in a tournament against the young baseballers as
a way of helping his son and other nerds like him to exact revenge
against the bullies of this world. It will be called Mel's Tournament
of Little Baseballers and Three Older Guys. The winner will get the
greatest stadium ever built--at Mel's expense. In order to prepare
Gus, Richie and Clark for the tournament, Mel hires baseball legend
Reggie Jackson to train them. Reggie works with them on timing by
having them sit in the back of a truck as it drives down the street,
swinging a bat and demolishing mailboxes. He also teaches them fielding
by tossing a hot potato at them, which they catch barehanded and toss
quickly to one another. Amazingly, the training pays off and they
become an inspiration to benchwarmers everywhere. |
