Ronnie,

 

Took the kids to see Batman this weekend. Wow. We need to get in on this. I’ve been toying with the idea of doing a Superhero movie for some time now and I think you’re just the man to direct it. Imagine the possibilities! We can enjoy the same success we enjoyed after Bull Durham. Anyway, the movie’s about an All Star baseball team that fights crime. Let me know if you’re interested.

 

BatMen: MLB the Movie

 

Disorder. Chaos. Costner—This tag line will sell the movie. I mean it.

 

Plot: Baseball players by day, crime fighters by night!

 

A group of renegade crime fighters instill order in Majorleagueville, a city rife with mayhem. Using their powers of swing, fastballs and base stealing this group of over-paid men stay above .300 while never revealing their true identities. When A-Rod is kidnapped by the evil Madonna, the BatMen must band together to rescue the third basemen before he spends his hard earned $252 million on Kabbalah bracelets.

 

—I’m thinking Kevin Smith should write the script. Or the guy who wrote Major League. Wait, was I in that? I can’t remember anymore. Too many baseball films! LOL.

 

 

Cast:

Derek Jeter/Mr. November: Me (I’m quite versatile.)

Superpower: The Dive

    Yikes. This film has "Gosh-I-Guess-Tin-Cup-Wasn't-Such-A-Crappy-Movie-After-All" written all over it.

    What's the sequel? "Waterworld Series"? "Dances with Jockstraps"? "The Unwashables"?

    Bad movie. Great article. ;)

    I just about lost it when the character Matt Damon would be playing has "Switch Hitting" as a special power. So much genius in this article! I loved it.
