" The Rookie " is the first feature film directed by John Lee Hancock , who previously wrote the screenplays for "The Perfect World" and "Midnight in the Garden" starring Clint Eastwood , and executive produced the comedy "Skip the Dog". (MyDogSkip). The film is based on real events. Jim Morris in his life finally joined the MLB in 1999 at the age of 35 and became the oldest "rookie" in professional baseball history for 30 years. With his unremitting pursuit and hard work, he created a miracle. Morris has now retired from the sports field and wrote his memoir, The Oldest Rookie, based on his legendary experience. At the age of 35, which is the age for many athletes to retire, Jim Morris bravely stepped onto the field at this time and realized his lifelong long-cherished wish. In fact, maybe miracles have been waiting around you and me, waiting for those who dare to dream to capture them. As long as you have the courage to reach out and capture, miracles will come to you at any time.

Jimmy: [Meeting his father after the game] You came.
Jim Morris Sr.: [Nods] Wasn't going to miss this one.
[pause]
Jim Morris Sr.: Watching you out there tonight... not many fathers get to do that.

Jimmy: Anybody wanna tell me how we lost that game? Hmmm? No? How about taking a look at the numbers on that scoreboard out there? What do those numbers tell you?
Joe David West: How to get ahold of Bo's Tire Barn?
[team laughs, Jimmy pauses, obviously not amused]
Jimmy: You quit. You quit out there. You quit on me and, worse, you quit on yourselves. Now, what is it? You think we don't care about baseball around here? Think the school's gonna drop the program? You're just making it easy for 'em. Sad part is, I see it and you don't.
