The Yankles

Movie, USA, 2010, 115 minutes

  

 

A washed-up pro baseball player, Charlie, must do community service after a series of drunk driving convictions. Charlie discovers that coaching an Orthodox rabbinical college's winless baseball team, the Yankles, is his only choice. While coaching the "Black Hat" team in its first season, Charlie and the team's star, a former minor league player now rabbinical student, both work to mend fences with those from their past. The Yankles play (but never on Shabbat) with tsitsis and kepahs bringing cultural shock to the league. Co-starring Don Most (Happy Days).
