Storyline

A young woman reporter blames the Pittsburgh Pirates' losing streak on the obscenely abusive manager. While she attempts to learn more about him for her column, he begins hearing the voice of an angel promising him help for the team if he will mend his ways. As he does so, an orphan girl who is a Pirates fan and has been praying for the team begins noticing angels on the ballfield. Sure enough, the Pirates start winning, and McGovern tries to turn his life around. But can he keep his temper long enough for the Pirates to win the NL pennant?

Great Baseball Movie.
24 November 1999 | by (Pennsylvania,USA) – See all my reviews

This movie has to be an all time classic about baseball.It's a story about the Manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates.It has comedy,and even some serious scenes in this movie.The acting by Paul Douglas and Janet Leigh are just great.Keenan Wynn plays his usual villain type part.This movie should be considered one of the Classic baseball movies that were made.
