Hardball
The most important thing in life is showing up
A redemptive sports drama about an irresponsible man finding purpose through mentoring underprivileged children, built on familiar feel-good beats and the transformative power of showing up.
An aimless young man who is scalping tickets, gambling and drinking, agrees to coach a Little League team from the Cabrini Green housing project in Chicago as a condition of getting a loan from a friend.
