Mr. Baseball
Emmy Award winner Tom Selleck stars as a major league ballplayer who is reluctantly traded to the Chunichi Dragons in Nagoya, Japan, in this fish-out-of-water sports comedy. Replaced by a rookie, the resentful Jack Eliot (Selleck) feels superior to the other Dragons, but he has a lot to learn about Japanese baseball, which is more about teamwork than about being an arrogant hotshot. Japanese superstar Ken Takahura is their hard-headed manager, Uchimaya, whom Jack treats with disrespect, while the beautiful Hiroko (Takanashi) helps him learn to live in - and love - his new home.
