The Bad News Bears
In the mid-1970's, Morris Buttermaker, an alcoholic and former minor-league baseball pitcher, is recruited to coach "the Bears," a Southern California Youth Baseball League team of misfit players formed as a compromise to a lawsuit brought against the league for excluding such players from other teams. Shunned by the more competitive teams (and competitive parents), the Bears are the outsiders. Buttermaker forfeits the opening game after the team allows 26 runs without recording an out.
