Back in the Game (2012)
Gus Lobel zählt seit Jahrzehnten zu den besten Baseball-Talentsuchern – allein anhand des Schlägergeräuschs kann er die Qualität eines Schlags beurteilen. Doch obwohl er es nicht wahrhaben will – sein Alter lässt sich mittlerweile nicht mehr verleugnen. Die Teamleitung der Atlanta Braves wundert sich zunehmend über seine Entscheidungen, zumal die Verhandlungen um den phänomenalsten Nachwuchs-Schlagmann der USA anstehen. Helfen könnte in dieser Situation nur die einzige Person, die Gus niemals bitten würde – seine Tochter Mickey: Die dynamische und ehrgeizige Anwältin steht kurz davor, in ihrer hochkarätigen Kanzlei zur Partnerin aufzusteigen. Mickey hat sich mit ihrem Vater nie verstanden, denn nach dem Tod seiner Frau hat er als alleinerziehender Vater kläglich versagt. Selbst jetzt, bei ihren seltenen Treffen, lässt er sich ständig ablenken – Mickey glaubt den Grund zu kennen: Baseball geht ihm eben über alles.
