The Winning Season (2004 film)

The Winning Season is a 2004 television film with elements of a fantasy drama. It chronicles a young boys dream in 1985 with playing with the Pittsburgh Pirates great Honus Wagner. The film follows the dream to the point where the boy is assisting Wagner in his 1909 World Series duel with fellow halloffamer Ty Cobb. It is adapted from the childrens novel Honus amp Me by Dan Gutman.

Variety condemned the film as schlocky and sentimental. Their critic found Modines performance started to wear and Davis brought little conviction, but praised director John Kent Harrison for the performance he got out of Rendall.
