Definitely for the kiddies., 26 April 2007
6/10
Author: sandlot3 from United States

All of the kids make fun of little Roogie Rigsby. But then he is all of a sudden blessed with a powerful arm thanks to the "spirit" of deceased ex-ballplayer Red O'Malley, an old beau of his grandmother's. He winds up pitching for the Brooklyn Dodgers with a bump on his arm that is the source of all his power. Kind of a 50's version of Rookie of the Year. Members of the current (at the time) Dodgers appear as themselves including Roy Campanella, Billy Loes, Russ Meyer and Carl Erskine. Campy is bowled over by one of Roogie's pitches too. Plus, at the movie's end, he kicks a football clean over the Brooklyn Bridge. Definitely for the kiddies.
