剧情介绍
1992 年，一位失業的美國職棒大聯盟球隊經理受邀前往棒球運動不發達的俄羅斯，為這個國家組織並訓練當年奧運棒球比賽的國家代表隊。那年春天，這位教練帶著他的俄羅斯國家隊回美國，讓他們與大聯盟球隊打友誼賽。起初，這支屢戰屢敗的球隊被當成笑話看。隨著經驗的累積，他們越打越好。在最後一場球賽，大聯盟球隊已經感到相當大的威脅。像是打季後賽般拼命，就怕輸給原本看不起的俄羅斯國家隊……
To teach a team of Russian wanna-be baseball players the finer points of the all-American game is no easy task, but for a grudgingly resentful, recently fired baseball manager from the States, the task is formidable. In fact, there are many times when he considers chucking the whole thing and going back home and forgetting baseball entirely. But he perseveres... to the point where he finally believes that his players may be good enough to represent the Soviet Union in the upcoming Olympics in America. However, performing in this Country under such pressures not only shows these Russian players something about themselves, it also makes their American manager aware of something rather special about himself, as well.
