First of all, love me some Henry Rowengarner. The premise of the movie is absurd yet it is hilarious and amazing at the same time. Also, any movie with Gary Busey is great because in hindsight he was so fucking insane. Love the dude that is banging Henry's mom, probably the worst movie villain of the 90's. Childhood classic that I will always enjoy watching.

Busey's pained expression as he asks for "one more pitch" is haunting.

This was quite the baseball movie. The guts this kid had are unmeasurable. Its amazing how even after losing his baseball super-abilities he is able to outthink his opponent. And Gary Busey is a good laugh.
