Summary of Talent For The Game
Major league baseball scout virgil sweet lives for the coming of spring - the scent of fresh cut grass fastballs the umpires play ball. But this spring virgils career is threatened when the teams new owner decides to eliminate the scouting program & virgil. His only hope is to find a new star. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 03/28/2006 Starring: Edward Jame Olmos Lorraine Bracco Run time: 91 minutes Rating: PgEdward James Olmos, his face as weathered as the glove he packs in his suitcase, hits it out of the park as Virgil Sweet, a California Angels scout--"the last of a dying breed"--who travels from coal mines to cornfields in search of a phenom. His newest discovery is pitching prospect Sammy Bodeen, an Idaho farm boy around whom the team's hateful pony-tailed billionaire new owner orchestrates a massive marketing campaign. It's up to Virgil to ensure that the kid lives up to the hype. This 1991 drama struck out in its bid for a wide theatrical release, but until its credulity-straining Big Game climax and disappointingly cynical conclusion, it qualifies as the kind of "hold on to your dreams" sleeper that always connects with baseball movie fans. --Donald Liebenson
