Angels in the Outfield (1994 film)
Young foster child Roger Bomman and his friend, J.P., love to sneak into baseball games of the struggling California Angels.Roger's unique ability to see which players are receiving help from angels leads their skeptical and flamboyant manager George Knox (who hates children) to keep him around as a good luck charm and consultant.Due to the much-needed help, the Angels start to win games and make a surprising second-half surge to the top of their division.Hoping to permanently end Knox's career in baseball since their days as players, Wilder informs the press of what J.P. said to him and their owner Hank Murphy threatens to relieve George of his management responsibilities.The Angels ultimately win the game on their own and clinch the division title and the pennant, while Murphy fires Wilder for insulting the team on the air.The site's consensus reads: "A queasy mishmash of poignant drama and slapstick fantasy, Angels in the Outfield strikes out as worthy family entertainment".
