"Excellent performances, but the best thing about it is the sharp, skeptically witty script..."
—Time Out London
Set during an Indian summer in the Negro League era, this boisterous, offbeat comedy ranks among the best baseball movies ever made. Satchel Paige-inspired pitcher Bingo Long (Williams) seizes the means of production and breaks away from greedy management with W.E.B. Du Bois-reading slugger Leon Carter (Jones). Pryor steals the show as usual as a player practicing his Spanish in the hopes of making it to the white league.
