Die Entscheidung - Eine wahre Geschichte

A minor-league near-miss gets dusted off for a midlife tryout in this unlikely comeback story. A Texas chemistry teacher coaches his high-school team to a championship, earning the right to actually pitch in front of scouts, where he suddenly reminds everyone why he was once on the radar. The film stops short of asking whether 98 mph fastballs can make up for twelve years of lost swings.
