In this follow-up to the 1989 baseball
comedy and its 1994 sequel, Gus (Scott Bakula), a burnt-out veteran pitcher in
the minor leagues, is invited by the general manager (Corbin Bernsen) of a
major league club to take over their minor league farm team. Faced with the
seemingly insurmountable task of turning a wild bunch of misfits into a winning
ball club, Gus not only manages to win the Triple-A Championship, but he also
gets a shot to play against the Majors.
