- A widowed lawyer wanted by the IRS assumes a new identity and signs his now-too-old son up for one more year of Little League. However, this may have been a mistake, as his son's dominance captures the media's attention as his team careens toward the Little League World Series.

Every movie that I have seen Harry Connick Jr in is wonderful. This is surely no exception.
kinda funny i stumbled upon this looking for a sports movie and my name is actually Michael Ryan lol
Wow.....good movie....When I saw John Grisham ,,I figured it was fictional...but was pretty sure it would be good movie....and of course it was!!!!
What Micky's dad needed was a Presidential Pardon. The President orders the IRS to back off!!!! When Micky becomes rich they can pay Uncle Sam what they owe him.
My all time Favorite Baseball Movie based on a true story that is so beautiful and wonderful and boy can that kid throw some heat reminds me of when I played in highschool
Shades of Gavin Weir - without the cheating. Great movie. What a shame the box office results were so paltry.
In order to hide his kid he should have made him a year older not younger then tell the school that he missed a year
Nothing like another year of Little league though…
Nothing like borrowing the plot from Carlton Fisk's world series homer by the little catcher!
So I was an extra in this movie!!! John Grisham owns the ballpark I used to play softball at. And he owns the rights to this movie as it was based on one of books. When they made the film he wanted to film some of the scenes at the ballpark and have all the teams, players, families, coaches and staff. I have not seen the movie yet, in all these years I know, but I have a newspaper clipping and I remember being there. Eating free dipping dots, the film crew etc.
Awwww so sweet
That's cool

How have you not watched the movie?
Ookk . Glad to hear that you were an extra..
What a great movie! I loved it! Anytime you see a movie by John Grisham, watch it because it's food for the soul! John's writings are art at its finest in contemporary fiction and film and the casting and directing here were right on and Harry Connick, Jr., well. what's not to love about him? There is something in this film for everyone baseball fan or not. It's about courage to face up to our mistakes, take the consequences and move on and that is real and it's life, pass it on...
Cute movie...The games should have been played in Nebraska..They grow a lot of corn in Nebraska :)
My grandmother was in this movie in the stands!!! I haven't seen this in years 😢 such a wholesome movie.
Great movie Mr. Grisham. I really felt for the catcher. I was a catcher during those years. We had a 3rd baseman with a throwing arm to first base like a rifle shot. He was also the relief pitcher. I carried a sponge in my pocket in case he was called up. I put the sponge in my catcher's mitt to protect my hand.
I caught my neighbor and best friend in high school. He was the Junior and Varsity pitcher for our team. I wasn't on the team. But they allowed me for a while to catch him. He wanted me to catch him more than anyone. I wasn't going to play because I had a more important thing on my mind. I was simply waiting to turn 17 so I could join the Army and go kill the mfr's that had killed my older brother 5 years earlier in Vietnam!!!
The pitcher I was catching for was good. He ended up getting a chance with the St Louis farm club.
The moment i saw John Grisham i knew this was going to be gold. I've read well over 20 of his best selling books. The guy is a genius writer.
When he bothers. He's been a lazy ass the last decade or so as far as his books go.
awesome!!! Father and son movie... what an super love of a father to his son!!!
I remember watching this movie in 2006, and I feel in love and man im still in love with this movie.
same my dad gave me this movie on DVD.
=LOVE too！
Put a ring on it
You gotta love that catcher!!! Injured with his hand killing him and he hits a rocket out of the park!!!! Lol! He reminds me of former Yankee back catcher Thurman Munson!!!
Awesome movie with class! Was very entertaining & touching!
Would have loved to watch it, but not enough volume.
What? I SAID, NOT ENOUGH VOLUME.
Bye.
I'am having with TROUBLE with the VOLUME. goodnight.
Started watching this because Grisham wrote the screen play. Finished watching it because the casting, acting, and message were superb. Don't miss this one.
I was intrigued because I love baseball, Grisham, Harry Connick Jr, and my nick name is Mickey. Of course I'm going to give it a look.
I❤it . Grisham is a great writer.😊
The irony. IRS is a criminal organisation and income tax is illegal.
Thank you for the heads up🙏,God bless you.,It is a must watch tonight🎉
I have a hard time hearing and the closed captions are the worst I've seen for any movie. How do you ruin a good movie? Make it difficult for "some" people to understand what's going on in the fiction on the screen.
Try watching with headphones, definitely makes it easier
There is a reason why that Griff kid was Captain!!!! What a great team Mick had playing behind him!!!
My son was chosen to play on the best of the best all star team..The team was a mixture from different district and towns..His team was invited to play against the all star team of Williamsport..He played on the actual field where little league started..Not the field on T.V. nor with cameras or a big crowd, but to us the parents, we understand the significance of that ballpark..They played a doubleheader winning both game, having a homer in each..Next to his numerous game balls and a trophy or two is a sod of grass so he always remembers that special place...I'm quite proud of him..
this movie was Totally Righteous:) the politicians should have been the ones to go to jail, however. Playing games and getting away w/ shit and setting people up:( Politicians SUCK!
GREAT film! Highly emotional. I'd place it in the upper tier as 'The Sandlot'. I'd recommend.
If you liked this movie, check out Tomorrow's Game (2023)! It's also a baseball movie with a time travel twist.
Nice movie. I was not expecting to like it as much as I did.
Great movie that teaches a lot of valuable lifes lessons. The bond and love between dad and son was truly beautiful. Made me remember my son pitching and all those days we spent as a family at the fields. My son is now 35 and still loves baseball.
I’ve loved this movie my whole life but could never find it anywhere besides vhs
Haha you're welcome. I screen recorded my DVD and uploaded it
@@troypat9 Thank you very much@@@
I decided to watch this because this is my game, since grade school till college. I miss this game and at 55 yrs old i still want to be part of this sport.
You should coach. Your love and knowledge of baseball is needed. Kids spend to much time playing on their phones today. I wish you well.
A superb movie that entertains and educates us on the importance of valuing and living by truth and honesty without which would end in disasters as evidence by this dad & son. Luckily the dad owned up to his mistakes and made the change but had to pay a heavy price though.
I love baseball, and this movie is awesome for how the sport transcends politics⚾️
I always enjoy films based on my favorite novelists' works; they are invariably worth the watch. "Micky" was no exception...
The lost Grisham movie.......Thanks for sharing x.
Thank you for sharing this amazing movie 🎬 like this one. Mikey. On your TH-cam channel ❤️ sending me more of your amazing movies 🎬 on my TH-cam channel have a great and safe evening and staying warm and also happy valentine's day on February 14th on Tuesday. To you and your family from my family have a great and safe weekend ❤️ you are my favorite youtuber from your favorite youtuber shawna
Why they want Spence so much vs the guy who did the ID Switch for him whos crimes are bigger?
Children’s film.
In this case Spence was actually worse because he illegally destroyed so many little league teams. The most punishable offense on earth is little league fraud. Did you even watch the film?
Sequel: The kid goes straight to Tommy John surgery. The dad wins a congressional seat on Long Island.
This is such a great 👍 movie 🎥 in so many ways!! A suspenseful sports movie with some legal drama with the personal father/son relationship element and the difficulties of losing a spouse and mother: John Grisham, one of my favorite authors, always writes with a purpose. Many lessons to be learned in this film! Well done in every way!! 😊
Thanks for sharing it! I always enjoy watching Great Movies though. 👍👌👏
An of course, I'm a subscriber!
Thanks Again Though.
Very cool movie. John Grisham is one of the great writers of our time
How many students dads was this principal talking to before this guy? 😆
HolyCrapOla why did I miss this, it’s Freaking Fantastic
I had Croc Tears welling up😢
What a bummer. I thought this was a true story. I don't like real characters being portrayed by fictional events. It's fake, unreal, disappointing. All they had to do was write the script around true events or was that too difficult for the producers.
Well, whoever downloaded this video forgot to add the sound. It would have been nice to watch. (with sound)
What a movie.
Watch it, you won't regret it.
Plus it's Grisham's story and screenplay.
IRS...STILL HAS NO LEGAL LAWS TO COLLECT TAXES...I MAY BE WRONG NOW...BUT I PAID THEM JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER PERSON...IN FACT...I BELIEVE THEY OWE ME MONEY...Mmmmmm
The most important thing I got from this movie is that I despise the IRS and the Federal Government even more .
/ at 26. 51 / that speaker is John Grisham
Excellent!!👍👍❤️❤️😊😊
This was good
Recommend "Rookie Of The Year and "Family In Hiding".
Ray Loose my Pop Warron coach, this coach reminds me of him but why are coaches in movies like this always Fat and over weight can't they act slimmer person. Just saying and relax Na sayers, it's my opinion.
Hell yeahhhh thanks! Great movie
I don't know what too say? Honestly till I was just browsing earlier this evening, and I caught the title of this film. I had no prior knowledge of it. A great film I thought, and a tough situation in the plot. Is the story a true one?, or is it fictional? Which ever is not important as far as the ending is what matters. Cheating in anyway is not comendable in any form what so ever. IT takes the glory, and satisfaction away from the Victory, the Winner, or Winner's, have achieved. The cast was exceptional, the portrayal of the characters, was very believable. I truly thought it was a true story brought too the screen that I had no prior knowledge of. Alas as I said I really enjoyed it, and felt good at the outcome. Last thing is everything of John Grishmans I have read, or scene, I have been totally impressed with. Thank you for Airing this film Mickey. Wyo,
Robert, 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸👍👍⚾⚾👍👍❤️❤️
Fictional story but very believable. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I first found this movie back in 2005 on DVD at Blockbuster.
John Grisham knows sports. Best contemporary fiction writer of our tlme. Great movie about baseball and redemption,
Ummmm...what? I like Grisham but outside of legal profession, I don't see his expertise in sports. Half his catalog is "The ____(insert random word from blacks legal dictionary)___". The client. Runaway jury, rainmaker, ...
I actually never heard of this movie but am interested. I played little league, so all this talk about hitting 60 mph brought back memories.
I love that they went ahead and let both teams play it out! Great Movie.
Um... thanks for the spoiler alert...
@@user-md4di6yg2p Should watch the movie first instead of searching through comments. JS
@@user-md4di6yg2p you probably shouldn't go to the comment section before watching the movie lmao
I was thinking Mickey M....? Cheating kids is below bad! FORGOT SOMETHING GREAT MOVIE...THANK YOU FOR SHARING!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great movie thanks for sharing ♥️ sometimes we make mistakes that were intended to do it but we don't have a choice ♥️
We have always a choice, but sometimes we think that we don't have it. It's up to us to understand that, God gave us the free will.
I was there in Williamsport. Met Grisham. Got to be an extra. It is only now I'm seeing the movie. I was a late life college student at the time. Wanted to see what a film set looked like. Have some images I took. Amazing experience. Drove there 3 weekends.
Too bad I wasn't able to follow up. Since I took filmmaking classes in upstate NY. Yeah. Now that I think of it.
Don't know if I was in final film. Was in the stands.
Great baseball movie I liked it and thanks!
one of the greatest baseball movies of all time
This one and 61 *
Imagine having to declare bankruptcy for medical bills? Only in America I guess. Thank God I don't live there, cause i'd be broke as F%*K, but as it stands, having had Cancer with all the trimmings, didn't cost me a cent here in Aus.
I had to about 15 years ago. And now I have to pay $700 a month for medical expenses that’ll never go away because I have terrible insurance.
They let a BIGGER "fish" go to get a little fish, because the irs guy had it in for the little guy.
A great movie definately.a good family movie.
I watched this movie back n 2004 I was a little kid didn't understand it than like I do now didn't change the fact this was my all time favorite baseball movie
I was in grade 9 visiting my sister at college back in 2004 and saw it on the bottom shelf at a blockbuster and thought it looked cool, i loved sports movies. I love how it takes you on a journey and really questions the audience's moral compass.
I never knew Little League had a World Series. I thought it was only local and State. Good movie! I love watching Harry Connick Jr. But I like his singing even more!
It’s on espn every year
Great movie. 😊
If you liked this movie, check out Tomorrow's Game (2023)! It's also a baseball movie with a time travel twist.
I have watched shows with a totally unrealistic ending. You know what I am saying. The guy gets the girl, comes into unexpected riches or makes it through a hard time because of his friends. This one was real. A lot of great times but reality shows through. Loved it!
No domino el Inglés. Aun así..disfrute mucho la movie. Mi Inglés me alcanzó para entender los diálogos al ver la letra. Hermosa y fantástica Película. Viví en USA por más de 10 años y amo las películas de deportes.
The motto of those who track fugitives is that "You are what you can't stop doing."
Fantastic movie. Shows real life. Thank you for posting
That was a good movie I loved it love movies like that the truth will set you free
Really enjoyed and you gotta love Harry!!!
This was one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is beyond words.
volume 100% and barely hear
Cuba the fast pitch I'm AMERICAN. One last thing being American means standing up and being honest, I just hope our leadership understand
Steve Sallan, Joe Horvath, Danny Hickey, Mike Deegan, Davy, Fabian, Austin, Fred DeNike...
His books r nice so is his movie
Great movie
🏆💪I LOVE Harry Connick Junior 💪🏆
I am Yankee fan and I never new this story about Micky!!! Wow!!!! Makes me wonder whatever happened to his team mates especially Pudge (All Star Back Catcher) and McGriff (Team Captain). Micky and his team mates dedication to the team brings tears to my eyes!!!
BEFORE IT STARTED...I THOUGHT IT WAS REFERRING TO...MICKEY MANTLE...WHOM I DID SEE IN EARLY 50's PLAY THE WORLD SERIES BLACK N WHITE TV...WOW...I WAS BITTEN THEN...
I'm a yankee fan to.
@@johnnygunzfilmbuff7821 'too', as in, you mean to say, "I support the Red Sox too". It's the English language, you just need to master it once as it never changes.
@@gmac5031 sadly the yanks were red hot and know who knows.
@@johnnygunzfilmbuff7821 Thanks for taking that in good stride. I don't think the Sox have anything left for this season unfortunately. Cheers.
Interesting movie. Harry Connick, Jr.'s portrayal of the dad really brought out the moral dilemma that someone in that predicament can face. Faced with a tremendously burdening situation, raising his son as a single father, he broke the tax laws to make ends meet. Owning up to the crime meant leaving his son, which led to his compounding choice to run and relocate with new identities and involving his son in a deception. I have followed Little League closely all my life, even umpired for 33 seasons, and, until it popped up as a suggestion on TH-cam, I was not aware of this movie, which was obviously made with the full cooperation of Little League International. The LLB patches on the uniforms, a fictional Little League World Series filmed at Howard J. Lamade Stadium in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, with the teams in their regional uniforms, even bringing in Brent Musberger and Harold Reynolds for the "ABC telecast" of the "championship game" shows that Little League headquarters partnered with the filmmakers in this movie. The movie depicts the story as taking place in the 2001 Little League season. Controversy did swirl around that Little League World Series because the Rolando Paulino Little League of the Bronx, New York, used several over-age boys to get to Williamsport before losing to Appopka, Florida, in the U.S, Championship Game. The most famous -- or infamous -- of those over-age boys was 14-year-old Danny Almonte, a left-handed pitcher who was hitting 73, 75, and above on the radar gun from 46 feet away. He pitched a perfect game against Florida in the pool-play opener but the team lost to the Florida team in the U.S. Championship game because it was not Almonte's turn to pitch. It was also, like in this movie, a re-location scenario. Before moving from the Dominican Republic to New York City, Danny's dad re-registered his son's birth (apparently allowed under Dominican law) but made it exactly two years later than it actually was. It was several weeks after the World Series ended (won by Japan) that the cheating was fully exposed. Little League ordered the Bronx's consolation game victory forfeited and all their other wins vacated. The league was suspended, and eventually renamed. What Little League's punishment in 2001 was not able to do, and what wasn't even touched upon in this movie, was give the children who lost games to a team that was using over-age boys their tournament advancement; another team should have played in the sectional tournament, in the state tournament, in the regional tournament, and in the World Series. While the ending of the movie is unrealistic, I consider Mickey worth watching because it does bring out realistic emotions and highlights real-life-type dilemmas that call for moral decisions. I think of the line from Sir Walter Scott's 1808 poem, "Marmion: A Tale of Flodden Field," that reads, "Oh what a tangled web we weave When first we practice to deceive."
Never knew where that quote came from. Thanks.
Good call, literally, brings reality of govt.,IRS, to focus on individual actions that have enormous consequences.
My father transferred to NYC from New Orleans. The NJ schools were teaching subjects that the backwards southern schools taught me two years prior so I made straight A's in those subjects.😮
It would be nice if you could turn up the volume the ads are loud
Be nice to hear the story
Who Knew a great story of a Fall and Redemption! Baseball is Life!
Great movie, I was my brother’s catcher, he pitched like that, it was like reliving my youth, lol, we went to Nationals in 64
54 seconds in, and already an innacuraccy: 12 is NOT "the last year of little league," unless you decide it is. There are divisions up to age 18 in Little League.
Good Lord, how did I miss this movie. The ending was heartbreaking and sweet. Such a good movie.
Great movie Thank you
I love it! The office lady says your a thug Mr. IRS man in a cheap suit.
Lol, oops next.
And then he proves it by auditing her
I just came across this movie on TH-cam not being able to sleep.
Wow. What an awesome movie. Love it
Excellent movie
Is this John Grisham the author or is it another Grisham?
Yea its the author! If you watch it it talks about him growing up playing in little league in the intro
@@troypat9 Ahaa, I'm a big fan of his work all the way from Namibia. I will definitely watch the movie. Thank you very much.
@@leenaamwaalwa3567 th-cam.com/video/87UIL8-MkwI/w-d-xo.html , this is the trailer where it shows his little league picture. I forgot i didnt include it in the movie
Not a bad wee Rounders movie, cheers.
Thank you for posting this!!! As wrong as it seems…. This dude was a great a father considering the circumstances, well written movie. Love pudge!!!
I thank you very much, I had been looking for the movie for a long time and I couldn't find it anywhere, not even legally!
Now could you upload the subtitles in English to be able to translate them into Spanish? From already thank you very much.
I hated that fake tear glued to Shelley Fabares face. I mean, WTF? A little jalapeño juice in the eye and viola, tears.
The best thing about this movie ? The lady stayed with him. Didn't abandon
him. Shows Character.
🏆💪 I wish I had had a dad like Harry Connick Junior. What an adventure! 💪🏆
Best movie watched it twice now 😢
Me pueden poner las películas de beisbol de todo tipo en español, zq me pierdo las mejores gracias Nory
Used to be my favorite movie as a kid I’m so glad I found this
Very good movie especially the baseball sequences. Great story.
Every coach coaching at the little league World Series should play this movie for their team !!
