The Boys of Zimmer: The Story of the 1989 Chicago Cubs
The 1989 Chicago Cubs were not exactly the favorites to win the National League East championship. Fourth place finishers the season before, there seemed little hope beyond that for '89. But something magical and wonderful happened in 1989: Don Zimmer's team believed in itself and started winning. With a combination of youth and experience, coupled with a daring style of play, they simply went out and beat the favorites. This is the story of that team, and how they caught the imagination of Chicago and the country and became known as "THE BOYS OF ZIMMER."

Reviews
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
