Trivia:
When Stan Ross is walking to the plate with 2,999 hits (the first time...at the beginning of the movie), the announcer states "Will this be the at bat..." then states the date..."that Stan Ross hits number 3000." This is almost identical to the real television call by Joe Buck when Mark McGwire was sitting on 61 home runs and stepped to the plate and hit number 62 to break the single season home run record set by Roger Maris in 1961.

Goofs:
Anachronisms: The glove used by the pitcher in the 1995 game when Stan hit his 3,000th hit was a Rawlings "Pro Preferred" model. This model glove was not available at that time.

I love movies and I love watching sports. Not surprisingly, I really enjoy sports movies. Good ones. This is a very good one.
Bernie Mac, as the ragingly ego maniacal baseball star Stan Ross, accomplishes the near impossible. He makes us despise his character, then pity him, and finally adore him. He is completely comfortable in the role, and commands the screen with almost shocking ease.
The movie doesn't go for a home run, and therein lies much of its strength. This isn't "The Natural." The director and writer are content to tell a straightforward but very entertaining story with a good message for athletes of all ages. "Mr. 3000" is funny and ultimately quite touching, and the ending is both surprising and fitting.
My kids enjoyed the movie as much as I did. So count this as three "thumbs up" for a Hollywood movie with a little bit of heart.
