When he gives his father the ball at the end of the game is the moment I feel the onions. Nothing compares to that. Being proud of your son and making your father proud!
I always felt the ball should’ve gone to his son. His son was with him every step of the way. I get that he gave it to his dad, it brought the movie full circle. But still I think his son deserved the ball more.
I luv the bullpen coach's wry smile when he tells Morris he is in...he knows it's a huge deal getting the call in your first MLB game ever....especially at his age.
Sorry about ur Dad passing. Great that you both loved the game & saw this. I love baseball & my best memories include him. While I'm playing or watching with him
Obviously the vast, vast majority of kids who play baseball growing up will never come close to the major leagues, but man this movie really drove home as a kid that anyone could truly get there. Anyone who grew up playing baseball sees themself in Morris watching this.
Struck out Royce Clayton on 4 pitches (in the movie it's 3) -- all fastballs. First at 95 mph (swing and miss), the second at 96 (swing and miss), then 95 (fouled off) and another 95 (check swing appealed to first base ump, who rang him up.) How sweet it is!
Cool little note: Chuck Morgan, the PA announcer for the park in the movie, was then during the movie and to this day still is the real life PA announcer for the Texas Rangers. Also, the radio call you're hearing during this scene is done by Eric Nadel, who has been calling Rangers games on the radio for over 40 years.
Thank You for that Great Clip. The Movie was Fantastic and the True Story about Jim Morris was Even Better. To just imagine what was going through His mind in that Bullpen the Night He was Called Up too Pitch. Fills My Eye's with Tears 😭😭 Everytime I See it. That Movie is a Totally Classic Film of Life, being So surreal that it is just So Bueatiful, at Time's? That it's just unexplainable as well. Thank You Again 😊❣️‼️❣️‼️👍👍.
the thing the movie never mentions. His career.. He had 16 appearances. with a 0-0 record 4.80 era and 13 strikeouts. His last game was at Yankee stadium where he came in with the bases loaded during the bottom of the 10th with a tie game......and walks Paul O'Neil. He was released after the season, signed with the dodgers but was released during spring training it mightve been short, and uneventful but he still lived the dream
Love this movie as it is almost like 2 movies in one with the first half focused on the students and getting them to believe in themselves/ dreams etc and then they threw it back at him to achieve his own.
He had two brief stints in the majors. In 21 games he gave up 12 runs (8 earned) in just 15 innings of relief. Not exactly a story you would make a movie about. And for those wondering, he is not the oldest rookie pitcher ever. Leroy Satchel Paige was 41 when he debuted in 1948.
BLU3Collar TRANCE You must be so fun at parties! The point of the movie is that he had a dream and persevered and made it. There’s a reason I cut it off before he starts pitching.
There is a small list of movies, that I personally think is ok, and cathartic, for grown men to cry. Field of Dreams Saving Private Ryan Braveheart Iron Giant The Green Mile Rudy and The Rookie.. There are probably more, but these are guaranteed waterworks in my house. And I am proud of it.
Fun fact is that was the wrong bullpen. The visiting teams bullpen was in left field and they threw to the catchers left to right. The Texas Eangers bullpen was the one he was stretching and throwing in. 😂
The scene when he was helping the kids in his science class understand the mass of an atom… priceless or very much filled with Value… while also amazingly not overflowing cups. Quite beautiful and awe inspiring. #966 #soeedkillskinda #LoveEVICTShate #EMC2 #ironsharprensiron #FeWE #fractionatedchange #homeostaticworld #506 #betterisgood #joy #workable #fission/fusion #supporttocommunities #acuteandsystemic #privacytransparencyproperoversight #rightsofindividualsandgroups #medicalecosystems #translationalmedicine #energyinfrastructurewaterinnovationhubsecosytems #seatatthetable #X #interoperability #patientsfamiliescomunitiespopulationhealth #WEgotthis #Valuefeeforservice #breathe
anyone else notice in the shot where they show his picture on the scoreboard, if you look at the box score for the Rangers below his picture, 1+2+2 does not equal 8 lol
There also isn't any score for the Rangers in the 8th inning, despite just scoring runs in the inning. I suspect that they don't add the score to the inning, until after the inning is completed.
I was the PA announcer for the devil rays. It was a great pleasure to introduce him at the Trop!
AMAZING! 😍 How long were you doing the PA for the Rays??
Any body who has ever dreamed of being in the big league could just imagine how this felt and it was based on a true story
i could of been so many things but my mom was a dick!

@@tommymcmillen2144my 50 cents bet, the kid got the ball in the end.
Family heirloom after all.

where can I download it in Spanish for free
the movie
Just buy the 📀 dvd it’s cheap and will have Spanish for sure
@MANCHESTER UNITED So true...it's much easier to kick a round ball in a big net then hit a 90 mph slider from 62 feet away.
I think that is actually the real Mr. Morris playing the bull pen coach.
@MAN UTD Yeah easy things usually are more popular. But you must love baseball yourself seeing how you're here 😘
This is the last movie my father and I went to see in the theater before he passed away. Both of us love the game of baseball
Sorry for your loss. Great movie to share together and I hope it was a great moment to share. I watch these clips and get the feels on my own! Lol
Sorry about ur Dad passing.
Great that you both loved the game & saw this. I love baseball & my best memories include him. While I'm playing or watching with him
😭😭
Roger Zimmer sorry for your loss.

Tampa bay fan since 2008.Love this story Jim Morris is an example that it's never too late to go after your dreams.
I met Jim today at a luncheon. He’s even more amazing in person. Truly a good guy.
Struck out Royce Clayton on 4 pitches (in the movie it's 3) -- all fastballs. First at 95 mph (swing and miss), the second at 96 (swing and miss), then 95 (fouled off) and another 95 (check swing appealed to first base ump, who rang him up.) How sweet it is!
Its even more touching when you've experienced success with your dreams yourself. Go after what you want and dont hold back.
One of my favorite baseball movies of all time!
i wanna see this movie,cant find it anywhere :(
unfortunately in my country Amazon.com is almost non existing and a very bad webshop called Bol.com has most of the market with insanely high prices
This and Kevin Costner too
François N-B it’s on the new Disney plus if you can get that
Love how the old timers from the sporting goods store got to see him.
"You're in..." that look on his face, ha ha, half psyched half terrified.
don't worry fellas.. your not the only man who teared up watching this scene lol
harlemhornet fuk im tearing up
I was scrolling through vids randomly and this came up. My sinuses are cleared out now
where can I download it in Spanish for free
Chopping a few onions up, yeah that's it........onions.
?
This was a DAMN good movie! A great story and they did a good job on it!
I remember watching The Rookie on VHS Tape, I love that movie!
@Rideable Sun they didnt stop making VHS till 2006 lol.

We Love Chuck here in Arlington
I miss their old ballpark. Had so much character.
The best baseball announcer always has and always will be Vince (Papa Vinny!) Scully for the dodgers though
Get chills every time such a cool scene
The rookie is one of my favorite baseball movies along with field of dreams

it mightve been short, and uneventful but he still lived the dream
Another thing is when pitching to Clayton he threw 4 pitches, but Dennis was throwing so hard the actor playing Clayton could not foul off a pitch
frankly, that part of the story is irrelevant.
This has got to be the greatest feeling ever. I can only dream
One of my absolute favorite movies.
Love this movie as it is almost like 2 movies in one with the first half focused on the students and getting them to believe in themselves/ dreams etc and then they threw it back at him to achieve his own.
One of my favorite movies. Very inspirational story.
That run from the bullpen to the pitchers mound I think is no doubt one of the most FEEL GOOD moments in any sports movie ever
I like happy movies like this :') that's not a tear. Just something on my eye.
The ghostly reflection of a man holding his phone is terrifying.
For love of the game and family Jim Morris you are a true blue hero.........
Dennis Quaid's best movie role ever.
I liked him better in Cave Man.
Thank you for this. A beautiful true story. Life is glorious.
wtf i had no idea this was a true story
I’m crying because this wasn’t in HD, damn allergies acting up again
LOVE BASEBALL WITH ALL MY HEART
Jimmy Morris' dream is about to come true.
This movie… so powerful and touching ❤
this got to me, and it was a great true story
What a great movie. This one and field of dreams are my two fav baseball movies
Damnit! Who's cutting onions in here!?
Sure glad Jeremy didn't post the entire clip, I may have really enjoyed it.
The five hats of Jimmy Morris: Big Lake Owls, Jiffy Lube, Orlando Devil Rays, Durham Bulls and the Texas Rangers.
One of my most favorite movies!
Every little town in America should have such a hero
They were talking about him on Sunday night baseball in the context of players who got a chance at an older age.
I miss that ballpark 😢 the new Rangers stadium is devoid of character
I’m just now realizing this movie made me get into baseball as a kid that crazy
I shoved too
Great movie!! Use to watch it every baseball season!!
Best scene was calling home for his sports coat.
He had two brief stints in the majors. In 21 games he gave up 12 runs (8 earned) in just 15 innings of relief. Not exactly a story you would make a movie about. And for those wondering, he is not the oldest rookie pitcher ever. Leroy Satchel Paige was 41 when he debuted in 1948.

Field of Dreams
Saving Private Ryan
Braveheart
Iron Giant
The Green Mile
Rudy
and The Rookie..
There are probably more, but these are guaranteed waterworks in my house. And I am proud of it.
Put This Movie On TV And Blu-ray +DVD +Digital DVD 4K HD
The deer in the headlights moment when you know that you have to put all that behind you. Step up to the plate, or in this case the pitcher's rubber.
Never give up, never, it's not over till God says it's over.
Morris… you’re in!! 😭😭😭
Love this scene!!!
This movie is why I became a Rangers fan.
one of my favorite movies all time. :D
This is as good as it gets.
❤ the best moment in baseball!!
I'd be walking for fear of catching a spike while running out there!
Has to be greatest feeling ever. And yes.. better than that.
morris humbled and no,juicing love it
😂🤣 the reflection of the dude recording is classic
I really hope this happens for me someday
Stay focused stay vigilant stay patient. And learn to throw your own game
Same i want to go play at the cws and play in the MLB
It was great that he got the call but I was waiting to see him pitch. Bummer!
Loved this movie as a kid. Had dreams I was gonna be a pro mlb player lmfao
Who had the better entrance…Morris or Ricky Vaughn?
K is a swinging strike out and a backwards K is a strike out while looking.
Put me in coach...I'm ready to play...this game!
When This Movie Is Going To Be Free
Even though the Devil Rays were down here, it didn't matter, cus this shows there's some things more important than winning a game
yeah besides year was 1999 Devil Rays were only two years old then no one expected much winning from them then came 2008.
Love that movie!
Great movie!!
The bullpen pitcher was pitching from like 10 feet away
Love this movie!
I see you bro you can’t hide

Back when the Devil Rays couldn't sniff a winning record.
Trying to replicate the movie “The Natural” but sadly falling short
Took him like a solid minute to walk to the mound.... FIRED
I hate when they chop onions in the middle of sports movies like this...
Hay I live in big lake tx and the move was mad Here
Love this movie
Great Story!!!
Anthony Davis was really good as one of the students
Chuck Morgan best PA ever.
I love this scene.
Filmi çekmişsinde arka planda elinde telefonla gölgen çıkıyor. Dikkat etseydin keşke 😭😭😭😆😆😆😀😀😀
This movie always makesnme fucking cry. I hate it.
Where's the rest of the clip, hangin in here
Man, I haven't seen that older lady since she decided she didn't wanna ride on that bus with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock no more....
You hold incredibly still
great movie
Timo Cruz is watching sir
I thought that 1:02 was about to be a flash back. Nope. Just the dude with the camera
Does this mean I'm playing in the majors??
The 99 Devil Rays didn’t wear these uniforms
Holy fuk im crying
I wanted to see him pitch wtf lol it just cuts off
MusicthatsStrange you might have missed the point.
anyone else notice in the shot where they show his picture on the scoreboard, if you look at the box score for the Rangers below his picture, 1+2+2 does not equal 8 lol
There also isn't any score for the Rangers in the 8th inning, despite just scoring runs in the inning. I suspect that they don't add the score to the inning, until after the inning is completed.
BLUEJAYZFAN1, that's also the home bullpen in that stadium.
Aaron Scarpa Noticed that also, weird.
MLB
