Cherished things from your childhood sometimes don't age as well as you'd like. "Rookie of the Year" is one of those things.
Comedy writer Mike Camerlengo joins Big Screen Sports to break down the (shockingly bad) baseball action of ROTY. Why was the plot so bad? Who taught Gary Busey how to throw a baseball? Why on Earth was Henry playing Little League in jeans? We dive into that and more in this episode.
