Rookie of the Year (1993)
⚾️ Step up to the plate with hosts Isaac and Seth as they take a swing at one of the most fun and far-fetched baseball comedies of the ’90s — Rookie of the Year (1993)! This family sports classic tells the story of 12-year-old Henry Rowengartner, who goes from little leaguer to Major League pitcher for the Chicago Cubs after a freak accident gives him a rocket arm. Starring Thomas Ian Nicholas, Daniel Stern, Gary Busey, and John Candy, Rookie of the Year is full of heart, humor, and a whole lot of "funky buttlovin’!" Nearly 30 years later, this feel-good underdog story still hits home with its wild premise, hilarious moments, and nostalgic charm. Whether you’re a diehard baseball fan or just love a good '90s kids' movie, this one’s a grand slam!
⚾️ We break down what makes this movie a cult classic, from the outrageous pitching scenes to the surprisingly emotional moments between Henry and Chet “Rocket” Steadman.
But how would we rate it?
 | Isaac's Rating Take It Home! “I can watch this anytime. My kids loved it and laughed the whole time. What is underrated is balancing the dramatic scenes with the comedy. I can’t praise Daniel Stern enough, although it’s his only movie he’s directed it’s a classic." |
Seth's Rating Take It Home! “It is clever, and the acting is delivered well but the script and directing shines bright for this movie which is equally fun and hilarious. To me it is one of the best classics we’ve considered.” |  |
