Before breaking the hearts of Brooklynites by moving to the West Coast, the Dodgers called that borough of New York City home. Dem Bums: The Brooklyn Dodgers documents the years the franchise played there and includes footage of some of the most famous players in the team's history. Although the team usually failed to measure up to the rival Yankees, the Dodgers could claim such legendary players as Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella, and Gil Hodges. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

Poor Roogie Rigsby. He's the new boy in town and is the butt of all the local kids' jokes. The meanies won't even let him join their baseball games. But then a strange, magical thing happens when the ghost of a late, great Brooklyn Dodger descends and gives him a bump on the arm that results in Roogie's ability to pitch better than anyone in the world. With such amazing speed, strength and accuracy it isn't long before little Roogie is pitching for the Dodgers alongside such greats as Campanella, Erskine, Loes and Russ Meyer. It's a boy's dream come true, but his mother can't help but worry. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
