"The Rookie" Comes To DVD
And Video August 27

Hollywood favorite Dennis Quaid stars in this inspirational film based on a true story. Jim Morris (Quaid), father, teacher, and high school coach, thought his dream was over. He'd had his shot playing baseball, blew out his shoulder, and retired without ever making it to the big leagues. Then in 1999, Coach Morris made a fateful bet with his perpetually losing team. If they won the district championship, Morris would try out for the majors. The team went from worst to first and Jim threw caution to the wind and was on the road to becoming the oldest rookie in the major leagues.

Special DVD features include:
• Audio Commentary With Dennis Quaid And Director John Lee Hancock
• "The Inspirational Story Of Jim Morris" Meet The Real Rookie
