A wannabe can be after doin' time in the Minors., 20 August 2001
5/10
Author: Michael O'Keefe from Muskogee OK

A washed up pitcher(Scott Bakula)gets the chance to manage a sad-sack minor league team. He is also to groom a young long ball threat 'Downtown' Anderson(Walt Goggins). The South Carolina Buzz shuck their losing ways when they get the chance to play their parent team, the Minnesota Twins. Pretty funny stuff. Bakula is in top form in this baseball comedy. Bob Uecker as announcer Harry Doyle is priceless and funny as ever. Oddly enough Corbin Bernsen is likable as Roger Dorn, former shortstop turned executive.

Also in the cast are:Eric Bruskotter, Thom Barry and Ted McGinley.
