A look into the Chicago Cubs National League baseball team during the 1972-1973 seasons, in particular Canadian-born player Ferguson Jenkins. (imdb)
Roy Dean Bream (Russ who co-starred on Boy Meets World) plays a veteran minor league hurler in 1957 tutoring young phenom fireballer Tyrone Debray (Plummer). This is Bull Durham taken seriously with cameos by Bob Feller, Duke Snider, Ernie Banks, Don Newcombe, Bill Mazeroski and Harmon Killebrew. A solid performance by Russ and Plummer but script wears down at the end. Well worth seeing though.
A late-period entry in the blaxploitation cycle, John Evans's BLACKJACK is kind of akin to a black-skinned OCEAN'S ELEVEN, if OCEAN'S had less Rat-Pack-style farting around and more racial tension. Frank Christi stars as Joe Greene, a dude who's gone up the river for five years for a crime he didn't commit. (Of course.) While in prison, he befriends four fellow convicts and trains them all in the game of blackjack, so that they can get jobs in casinos when they get out. (cinemageddon.net)
