New York Mets: 1st Annual ‘Little Big League’ Awards, Part 1

At its core, baseball is a kids’ game. After all, childhood is where we first develop our love for America’s pastime. With that being said, who better to lead a Major League ball club through the rigors of the regular season than a kid himself. That is precisely the premise of the 1994 baseball classic, Little Big League.

The film stars Luke Edwards as Billy Heywood, a 12-year-old baseball savant who inherits the Minnesota Twins after his grandfather passes away. After opting to fire the team’s manager, Heywood names himself as the skipper of the ball club and I’ll spare you the plot details in case you haven’t seen the movie.
