Coleman's first film, it is a remake of the 1953 film of the same name. PlotJackie Robinson "J.R." Cooper is a kid who loves baseball, and also the son of a former major leaguer now down on his luck (and now a vendor working the stands at games). J.R. parlays his baseball knowledge into becoming manager of the San Diego Padres and leading them to the World Series.[1] Primary Cast
ReceptionA vehicle for NBC to try to enhance Coleman's growing stardom from the sitcom Diff'rent Strokes, the television movie first aired on Sunday, September 30, 1979. It was the 15th highest-rated prime time show of the week, with a Nielsen rating of 21.4.[2] Critics, however, did not love the film, which was plainly directed at younger viewers. Tom Shales of the Washington Post wrote "there is no point in listing the credits ... because no credit is due."[3][4] After Coleman died in 2010 and Jeff Pearlman wrote a tribute to the film in Sports Illustrated, director Adell Aldrich commented "we weren't trying to win awards, but we did want to make something people would enjoy."[3] Vince Edwards had originally been picked to direct, but quit after two days because he didn't want to work with children.[3][5] NBC held a special preview of the film after a San Diego Padres game on September 21, 1979.[6] Oddly enough, the day after the film first aired on television, the Padres hired their announcer Jerry Coleman (who also appeared in the film as the team's announcer) as their new manager.[7] This led to some jokes that the team had meant to hire Gary Coleman.[8][9] Home mediaThe film was released on VHS by Vestron Video in 1984.
