(Flash Review)
I figured I'd clear this out of my streaming queue in honor of baseball's opening week. Not what I expected for a plot but that's good and it kept me moderately engaged throughout. Even with some cliché story arcs. Amusing little plot of an arrogant ballplayer (think Barry Bonds) who gets base hit #3,000 and immediately retires even with his team in a pennant chase. Getting to 3,000 typically punches your ticket to the hall of fame. Several years later, a statistical error takes away 3 of his hits before he get into the HoF. At age 47, he attempts a comeback to collect three more hits and prove he is HoF worthy. Can he do it!? And of course will he learn to be humble and more friendlier? There are actually a couple nice little twists, telegraphed yes, but made for an above average story. Certainly won't win any awards but it was better than I imagined.
