Original title: Angels in the Infield

Third in a series of Disney movies based on the 1951 classic film ""Angels in the Outfield"". About a pitcher with the Anaheim Angels, who because of an error in the final play of an important game ends up losing his confidence, his wife, and his daughter. Brittney Irvin is a delight to watch as his daughter who comes to lives with her estranged father.She befriends her invisible ""guardian Angel"" who comes to help her and her dad. Her confidence in her dad and her faith infect those around her (especially her father's agent) until they can't help in believing in the guardian angel and themselves as well. David Alan Grier is always funny. A nice bit has David popping up all around Brittney (as a hot dog vendor, an older woman, a baby). David plays an angel on the second string of Heaven's Baseball League who was once an up-and-coming pitcher himself. God sends him to Earth not only to help the girl and her father, but to answer his own prayer of getting one more chance to play real baseba themoviedb
