Plots(1)
Aging superstar Jack Elliott (Selleck) just isn't hitting them like he used to. In fact, the only pro ball club willing to sign him is the Chunichi Dragons ... in Nagoya, Japan. Cultures clash immediately when Jack hits town and proceeds to alienate everyone with his arrogance. But through the friendship of teammate Max "Hammer" Dubois (Dennis Haysbert) and the love of the team's beautiful translator, Jack finds a way to fit in and win. (official distributor synopsis)
