This Heartwarming Father and Son/Baseball Fantasy is marvelous! Different Strokes Star Gary Coleman is at his childlike enthusiastic best, in playing a unheeded young lad, who takes over as Manger of the Major League Baseball Team San Diego Padres. In attempting to bring the team from worst to first, he also struggles to prevent the authorities from separating him from his financially and emotionally struggling, but loving, ex-player Father (played by the always reliable Robert Guillaume). Actor Gary Collins is commendable in support, as an aging star player and the Father's old rival, who sees in the Kid his own youthful elan for the Game, as well as a last shot at Glory. Well worth watching for the dynamics between the actors, and for remembering the kid in each of us, who has ever loved the Game of Baseball!
