Plot Summary: | | |
Funnyman Bernie Mac brings his irreverent comedy to the big screen
to star in this hysterical movie about an over-the-hill ballplayer
who learns there's more to the game than individual stats and a
Hall-of-Fame plaque. Stan Ross (Mac) once loved the game of
baseball, playing with passion, energy, and every ounce of his
natural talent. But somewhere along the way, the fame went to his
head. The self-centered star ended his career prematurely,
shocking his teammates by selfishly quitting the game in the
middle of a season, right after getting his 3,000th hit—the
unofficial key to baseball's Hall of Fame. Now, ten years later,
three of Mr. 3000's hits have been disqualified, and the 47-year-
old out-of-shape former slugger attempts a comeback—hitting the
gym and facing down pitchers half his age—only to find that
three hits are a lot harder to come by than they used to be! The
media love to hate the bigheaded basher and they're going to
delight in ripping him for every strikeout. With only his ex-
flame (Angela Bassett) believing in him, for once in his life,
Stan must either rediscover his passion for the national pastime—or settle for living as "Mr. 2997."
