Ittle Big League (1994) *** (out of 4)The owner of the Minnesota Twins dies suddenly and decides to leave the team to his grandson Billy (Luke Edwards). Billy soon realizes that the players can't stand their mean manager so Billy takes that over as well and tries to lead the team to a championship.The early 90s delivered several different baseball movies aimed at children and LITTLE BIG LEAGUE is one that actually plays out pretty good. As with another film from this period, BLANK CHECK, this film basically tries to appeal to the kid's fantasy of being put in charge of something normally left to adults. Whereas BLANK CHECK was a pretty bland film, this one here turns into a funny comedy.There are some pretty funny moments throughout the film but there's no question that a lot of credit has to go to Edwards who turns in a very good performances as the child who finds himself in control of a professional team. The child in the film has a lot to deal with and I thought Edwards was very believable in the role and managed to make you believe the situation.

Little Big League is a great film. I enjoy most baseball films because I am a big baseball fan, not necessarily the Minnesota Twins. I only saw this movie just to get entertained. After the movie started, the owner of the Twins passes away from natural causes. He gives his team to his grandson, Billy. After Billy fired the manager, he becomes the manager of the team on their quest to win the pennant. As a baseball fan, I do find it pretty hard to see a kid managing the team, but this is purely entertainment. I was happy to see major league stars such as Randy Johnson, Ivan Rodriguez, Paul O'Neill(especially), and Rafael Palmeiro. As a die-hard Yankees fan, I am glad to see great views of Yankee Stadium. At least I will see this film when I want to see the old Yankee Stadium because they are tearing it down soon. In entertainment areas such as acting, everything is simple and smooth. A good baseball film! I rate this movie 8/10.

Well, I just love those American movies centering around baseball. Here a kid's dream comes true. Billy Heywood manages the Minnesota Twins! How cool is that, guys? Luke Edwards handles this new challenge in a slick and cool-headed manner, which is maybe a bit unrealistic and overdone. But hey, that is not the point. The point is that this movie is entertaining and funny, with some nicely staged baseball sequences. I like the way Luke addresses the guys in the fitting room, talking about the spirit of the game and that these guys just ought to have fun with what they do - playing ball. There are many similar movies out there, and many lack substance, but this one is definitely worth a try.

A charming fantasy/comedy,etc. about a junior high school kid who inherits the Minnesota Twins from his late grandfather and soon takes over as manager. He then convinces his players to have fun. After all, they are getting paid to play baseball.I think it works well on all counts. Watch for cameos by real life Major Leaguers. Sit back and enjoy!!*** out of ****
