Synopsis
First of a trilogy of films takes an unflinching look at the little league baseball in California. Former minor leaguer Morris Buttermaker is a lazy, beer swilling swimming pool cleaner who takes money to coach the Bears, a bunch of disheveled misfits who have little talent.

9 / 10 Good and likeable movie, deserves its classic status.
My Movie Rating: 7 / 10 First saw this in the early 70'S. Loved it then and still enjoy watching it. The original is still the only one to watch.
My Movie Rating: 9 / 10 Here's a tidbit: Bret Marx is the grandson of Harpo Marx! I love this movie, I watch it every chance I get! My favorite character is, of course, the very sassy Tanner, played very well by Chris Barnes! I also liked Brandon Cruz, he made a good opposite for Barnes. If you like Chris Barnes, try movie short, "Big Henry and the Pock A Dot Kid!" Chris co-stars opposite Barry Corbin as Big Henry!
