Mr. Baseball

With a hot prospect ready to replace him, slugging but aging first baseman Jack Elliott (Tom Selleck) found exactly one taker for his services--Japan’s Chunichi Dragons. In a foreign land, facing clashes with his new manager (Ken Takakura) and a gorgeous if willful front office exec (Aya Takanashi), will the cultural hurdles he encounters on the field and off put him on the bench for good? Winning sports comedy co-stars Dennis Haysbert, Toshi Shioya; Fred Schepisi directs. 109 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English; featurettes.
