				Why watch this? 
				A heart-warming baseball film, with a dash of the miraculous. 
				Plot Summary: A 
				young foster boy named Roger loves the California Angels 
				baseball team, even though they're the worst team in the league. 
				When his absentee father jokingly says they'll be a family again 
				when the Angels win the pennant, Roger prays for divine 
				intervention to help the team. To his surprise, real angels 
				start to assist the players, leading to a miraculous winning 
				streak that captures the attention of the team's skeptical 
				manager, George Knox. Dad's Preview: 
				I gave this film a try because of Danny Glover. What I didn't 
				expect was the great performance by one-time TV Star Tony Danza. 
				This sweet movie caught me off guard. My kids loved it - and so 
				did I. It is the purest kind of fun. Look for future stars Neal McDonough, Adrien Brody and Matthew McConaughey, 
				all playing small supporting roles.
