Rookie of the Year You're Out!

The score had no business being this good.

[@andychapin5979]

I get chills listening to it. Especially when Busey throws out his arm and has to run to home. Love it!

Nope it was the 80s son. Last great decade to be a kid in. We were the last tough generation.

[@Ant-speakingfacts]

He eats fast ball for breakfast but an easiest pitch thrown at him stroke him out lol

[@afriendofbean]

@Ant@youtube I guess he's more used to baseballs thrown fast at him but not very experienced having a Little League pitch (like Henry) thrown at him especially the pitcher said to Henry "he can't hit a fast ball." Plus, I'm sure Heddo never saw that Henry lost his strong arm before he (Heddo) came up to bat.

[@Doobie1975]

you're missing the scene where Heddo is throwing a temper tantrum!

[@josephgarcia6102]

He was crying like a baby

"Okay Bill Conti, I know you're an Oscar-winning composer and you've made iconic scores for Rocky, The Karate Kid and All the Right Stuff. This next project is basically a kid's fantasy about a 12-year-old boy pitching for the Cubs. No need to go that hard." Bill Conti: I'mma go even harder.

[@patrickkanas3874]

This is actually a real pitch that major leaguers have used before (with an overhand delivery, of course). The old eephus is the definition of a high-risk ball that is fun to watch when it succeeds

[@supersizesenpai]

Absolutely correct.

[@mikeid3067]

the batter knew the kid had no arm left so there's no way he misses when he knows its coming though

[@supersizesenpai]

@@mikeid3067 Its not so much about tricking the batter in the traditional sense. Its about the hitter getting the timing and angle right. The angle of the drop when done right is shockingly harder to predict than you would think especially for a pro since it wouldn't be second nature for him to adjust to it the same way the hitter would against a more standard pitch. On top of that you have the pressure of this being a big game, its happening at night, the bright lights etc. it all contributes. 9/10 he would probably smack this ball into orbit but all it took was that 1 whiff to end the game. I watch a lot of sports and those clutch moments like this one are always mind blowing. Reminds me of the Eagles vs Giants game. The Giants had the game sown up all the punter had to do was kick the ball away from the returner and it was over. For whatever reason he kicked it to DeSean Jackson who ran the ball back like 70 yards to score and win the Eagles the game. All it takes is 1.

[@horrorbuff7803]

I love this movie. I don't know about you guys but I watch this every Febuary and March to get ready for Baseball season. Starting in February I bring out all the classic Baseball movies. Field of Dreams. Major League. Rookie of the year. The Natural. League of their own. Just to get me into the mood for baseball. This opening scene with them getting Wigley Field ready puts a smile on my face. It gets me wanting baseball to come.

[@Vikashar]

[@andrewomahony9260]

Why didn't Sal have another pitcher warming up when he saw Henry was struggling? Also, why didn't the Mets put Heddo in earlier?

[@alanconnelly3921]

Yea and not knowing he was on deck or on the lineup card lol

[@afriendofbean]

@Andrew O'Mahony Perhaps people kept having their hopes up wanting to see Henry assuming he was just having temporary bad luck. Regarding Heddo, if he was put up for bat earlier before Henry lost his strong arm, he (Heddo) would have hit a homerun.

[@davidwallgren7575]

And where would the movie go from there exactly?

[@jesusdavidguerratovar9233]

Why Daniel Stern idiot character could be the pitching coach of that team?

Because baseball back then the starters would stay in the game to fix their mess instead of going 5 innings and getting pulled
