“The Rookie” is an inspiring film, based on the true story of Jimmy Morris, a man who tucked away a dream of being a big league pitcher after his arm was injured. Jimmy caught the dream from the time he was a boy, despite having a father who was a career Navy man who did not share his son’s enthusiasm or his dream. When the high school class and baseball team he coaches sees that he can still throw heat, as his arm has healed following the surgery from years ago, they challenge him to try out for the big leagues if they win the District State championship. There is some mild language in the film, but overall this is a very good film with positive elements in it.
