In the world of 1930s Negro League baseball, a spirited team of renegade players travels around the Midwest looking for that one big score. Richard Pryor, Billy Dee Williams and James Earl Jones star as three barnstorming ballplayers who take on prejudice and their own League's unfair rules while stealing cars, food and home base—anything to prove that they're the best team around. It's a showdown of brains over booby traps and sportsmanship over racial segregation as Bingo Long's All-Stars swing their way to a winning season.Bonus Content:Feature Commentary with Director John BadhamTheatrical TrailerDVD-ROM FeaturesProduction NotesCast and Filmmakers Review: Awesome movie - Awesome movie, great classic. Funny as hell Review: Wonderful film for any fan of baseball . . . or comedy . . . or terrific acting - I've loved this movie from the first, and my baseball stud son grew up with it. He was at a baseball clinic 20 years ago and impressed Howard Johnson, the late great Tony Gwynn (who was a freshman at SDSU in a political science class I taught my senior year), and Harold Reynolds, who walked up to my son and said, "Man, who ARE you?" He switch hit, never missing a single pitch, and even did TG's inside-out swing I taught him, so we were natural lovers of it. Didn't teach my son to "kick that mule," but we still get a kick out of it. Great film with fabulous roles and impeccable acting abilities for Billy Dee Williams and James Earl Jones, years before either of them ever heard of The Force and Luke Skywalker. The CD is brand new, and I'm looking forward to sharing it with my young grandsons, who will follow my dad, me, and my son as the next generation of awesome baseball players . . . with a little bit of soul.

A great movie!
Very good movie to watch. A feel good movie actually. I have watched this movie several times over the years. It is a period movie at a time when things were very tough, but less complicated I suppose.
