Although a one-time MVP for the New York Yankees, Jack Elliott is now on the down side of his baseball career. His batting average is low and one of his few claims to fame is that during the previous year, he led the team in 9th inning doubles in the month of August. With an up and coming slugger ready to replace him, he learns that he's been traded to the Chunichi Dragons of the Japanese Central baseball league.

When he meets his very pretty PR agent, Hiroko, he begins to gain a greater appreciation that he should accept his current situation.

| User ReviewMike WTom Selleck is a great baseball player in this film! |
| User ReviewJulian Di have nothing negative to say about this film. running through the checklist: Baseball? check Hairy Chested Hero? check Moustache ride reference? check Japanese people acting stupid? check Dennis Haysbert NOT plugging All State? CHECK awesome film |
