Mr. 3000

Mr. 3000 is a 2004 American sports comedy film starring Bernie Mac and Angela Bassett. The films plot surrounds a retired Major League Baseball player who makes a comeback at age 47 in order to attain 3,000 hits.

In 2004, The Brewers retire Ross number so they can get rid of Ross for good and draw a large crowd. Although many fans come to the ceremony, other players, including teammates and fellow stars Robin Yount, Cecil Cooper and Paul Molitor, stay away. Only his best friend Anthony Boca Carter and a middle relief pitcher from his early days named Bill Big Horse Berelli in the majors attend, and the expitcher chastises Ross for his arrogant attitude.Ross learns that, due to a clerical error, he retired with 2,997 hits instead of 3,000. The error also partially contributes to Ross not being voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame and makes his Mr. 3000 marketing gimmick inaccurate. Ross seeks to return to the game at the age of 47 to get three more hits, secure his place in the record books, and keep his local postcareer marketing gimmick intact. ........
