" The Rookie " is the first feature film directed by John Lee Hancock , who previously wrote the screenplays for "The Perfect World" and "Midnight in the Garden" starring Clint Eastwood , and executive produced the comedy "Skip the Dog". (MyDogSkip). The film is based on real events. Jim Morris in his life finally joined the MLB in 1999 at the age of 35 and became the oldest "rookie" in professional baseball history for 30 years. With his unremitting pursuit and hard work, he created a miracle. Morris has now retired from the sports field and wrote his memoir, The Oldest Rookie, based on his legendary experience. At the age of 35, which is the age for many athletes to retire, Jim Morris bravely stepped onto the field at this time and realized his lifelong long-cherished wish. In fact, maybe miracles have been waiting around you and me, waiting for those who dare to dream to capture them. As long as you have the courage to reach out and capture, miracles will come to you at any time.

Jimmy: What do they think, I'm some sort of publicity stunt? That I'm taking some guy's job away? What do you think, Brooks?
Brooks: ...I think you're too fast for me. That's what I think.

Olline: Hunter told me you went to see your father.
Jimmy: Yeah.
Olline: You know where I'm going with this.
Jimmy: Yes, ma'am, I do.
Olline: Rachel says he's trying really hard to be a good grandfather.
Jimmy: [coldly] Yeah...
Olline: Oh, Jimmy. I swear the one thing you got from your father is his stubborn side.
Jimmy: That's not true!
[Olline gives him a look]
Jimmy: Well, what you want me to do, just pretend everything was okay?
Olline: You've been blaming your father for too many things for too many years.
Jimmy: I just call 'em like I see 'em, Mom.
Olline: Now, Jimmy, you can sell that story somewhere else, 'cause I ain't buying. You had your shot at baseball, you got hurt, simple as that. It had nothing to do with your father... you don't think he didn't have dreams?
Jimmy: Is that why it didn't work out with you two?
Olline: I'm gonna need a longer street for that talk.
