SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Funnyman Bernie Mac brings his irreverent comedy to the big
screen to star in this hysterical movie about an over-the-hill
ballplayer who gets his comeuppance after assuming that his
Hall of Fame plaque is in the bag. Stan Ross (Mac) once loved
the game of baseball, playing with passion, energy, and every
ounce of his natural talent. But somewhere along the way,
the fame went to his head. The self-centered star ended his
career prematurely, shocking his teammates by selfishly quitting
the game in the middle of a season, right after getting his
3,000th hit -- the unofficial key to baseball's Hall of Fame.
Now, ten years later, three of Mr. 3000's hits have been disqualified,
and the 47-year-old out-of-shape former slugger attempts a
comeback -- hitting the gym and facing down pitchers half
his age -- only to find that three hits are a lot harder to
come by than they used to be! The media love to hate the bigheaded
basher and they’re going to delight in ripping him for
every strikeout. With only his ex-flame (Bassett) believing
in him, for once in his life, Stan must either rediscover
his passion for the national pastime -- or settle for living
as "Mr. 2997."
