The new owner of the Cleveland Indians, in an effort to lose badly enough that she can move the team, puts together a hodge-podge of washed-up ballplayers and fictional characters. Despite her interference, the deft coaching of Allan Quatermain (Sean Connery), experience of veteran pitcher Jake Taylor (Tom Berenger), and invisibility of shortstop Rodney Skinner (Tony Curran) unite to turn the losing team around. Fantastic finale as, in the ninth inning, Pedro Cerrrano (Dennis Haysbert) uses voodoo to summon the Nautilus out of center field, allowing Captain Nemo (Naseerudding Shah) to catch what would have been a home run.
