It chronicles a young boy's dream in 1985 with playing with the Pittsburgh Pirates' great Honus Wagner.[1] It is adapted from the 1997 children's novel Honus & Me by Dan Gutman. The film premiered on TNT on April 4, 2004.
A young boy dreams of playing with the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Honus Wagner. Eventually the boy assists Wagner in his 1909 World Series duel with fellow hall-of-famer Ty Cobb.
The film was made by TNT and first broadcast on April 4, 2004. Modine prepared for his role as Wagner by playing with a minor-league team, the IronBirds in Aberdeen, Maryland, owned by Cal Ripken Jr.[2]
Critical reactionedit
Variety condemned the film as "schlocky" and sentimental. Their critic found Modine's performance started to wear and Davis brought "little conviction", but director John Kent Harrison was praised for the performance he got out of Rendall.[3]
