As a movie star, Selleck steps up to the plate again and again, swings and misses. Mr. Baseball could be his clumsiest strikeout yet.

Rating: 2/5 --
Stupid comedy that's insulting to both Baseball and the Japanese.

...The final face-off satisfies like a cold stadium brew....

So, that's what happened to Mr. Selleck's career!

Rating: 3/4 --
Why did I like it? Maybe because style is as important as story in a movie like this, and Mr. Baseball is not without a certain flair.

Screamingly unfunny baseball tripe.

Rating: 3/5 --
If Mr Baseball were a Major League team, it would be the Chicago Cubs; friendly, occasionally successful, but never likely to amount to much more than a .500 season.

Product Description:
In the twilight of his glory days, Jack is no longer hitting them like he used to and finds himself traded to Japan. He manages to alienate everyone on the team including the manager, without improving his batting average. But with the love of a Japanese girl and a newfound respect for Japanese culture, Jack finds a way to win.
Plot Synopsis:
After being bounced out of the majors, Jack Elliot heads to Japan to play pro baseball. He finds a very different game and culture across the Pacific. Elliot strikes up a relationship with his boss' daughter. At first, he tries to bully his teammates and the club owners, but he comes to accept and respect his new home.
