Synopsis
Gary Coleman in his TV-movie debut as the star of this remake of the 1953 movie with Dan Dailey and Anne Bancroft, is a bat boy who guides the San Diego Padres to the World Series with the secret help of his dad, a baseball has-been who now sells refreshments in the stands. Director Adell Aldrich, daughter of veteran director Robert Aldrich, also made her debut here behind the camera, replacing Vince Edwards, who originally had been scheduled. This is the first of three TV movies in which Coleman co-stars with Robert Guillaume.
