One of my favorite movies of all time is Rookie of the Year. The movie is about a 12 year old, Henry, who falls on his arm during a little league game. When his arm healed it didn’t heal correctly, and it caused him to have amazing pitching abilities. He could throw the ball faster than any pitcher in major league baseball. He is soon recruited to join the Chicago Cubs because their pitcher was getting old and struggling. He joins the team, and is in awe of everything. He help the Cubs go from a team with no fans and no winning streak to a team that is sold out every game and a long winning streak. He goes on the road with his team, and learns the ways of the game from his newfound friend, teammate, and mentor, the pitcher. He becomes a great pitcher, and can strike almost everyone out. It seems like a great life right? He starts to lose his friends because he never sees them, and he misses a lot of school. Baseball was his first priority so he didn’t have time to be a kid anymore. I don’t even know what my favorite part of this movie is because there is so many. Rookie of the Year is really funny, so it is great to watch whenever you are in a bad mood; you can’t stay mad after watching it. I like the story line of the movie because I think it was encouraging, a boy who is awful at little league turns out to be an amazing major league player. If you haven’t seen the movie you are missing out, and should see it ASAP!
