Rookie of the Year is a great and fun film for anyone who loves Baseall, or even those who don't. Most people may say that this movie is for young children, but I believe that even adults can enjoy Rookie of the Year. It has a great plot with a lot of comedy. My favorite character is Brickma, who is played by Daniel Stern. He is a goofy guy who cracks jokes the entire movie. I think that everyone should see Rookie of the Year at sometime in their life, even if they are not a baseball fan. It is a good pick-me-up movie for when you are feeling sad. This movie can definitely be watched over and over again. A great movie for all types of people
