Underrated


Definitely underrated, but in a way that wouldn't make sense to a 9 year old. I always lumped this movie together with "Rookie of the Year," but I have come to find in my elder years that Henry Rowenfunkklehesanidiotgarten sucks and Billy Heywood is the man.

I haven't seen either of them recently, or recently enough to quote anything, but off the top of my head great moments from Little Big League:
The announcer and their ESPN-esque stats. Wasn't one the batting average of a hitter when coming into the game after the 6th, facing a pitcher he had never seen before, in a dome. Great! We all know without those kind of insights from play-by-play announcers, we'd be lost.
Night Nurses From Jersey - They're off the turnpike and looking for love! We renamed the wireless internet in my house to pay homage to Billy's first softcore (maybe?) porn.
....
Okay, now I'm starting to mix up scenes from Rookie of the Year, but I stand by my point that Little Big League is much better. Please help me out because I know it in my heart to be true!
The one thing I do know is that this movie can be appreciated by actual baseball fans, but when I watch Rookie of the Year, Henry's face and everything else seem to get dumber and dumber.
