Mr. 3000

Mr. 3000 (2004)

Stan Ross (Bernie Mac) ist eine lebende Baseball-Legende. Man nennt ihn Mr. 3000, weil er nach ebensovielen Treffern dem Sport den Rücken gekehrt und als Geschäftsmann Karriere machte. Den Spitznamen hat er beibehalten, doch jetzt steht seine Ehre auf dem Spiel: Nachträglich wurden 3 Treffer für ungültig erklärt, und so schwingt sich der mittlerweile 50-jährige Stan wieder ins Fitness-Studio, um seinen alten Rekord wiederherzustellen.

Production

In May 1994, it was reported that 3000, a script by Eric Champnella and Keith Mitchell focusing on a retired player whose record of 3,000 hits is suddenly found to be three short, had become the subject of a bidding war. Among the potential bidders were Touchstone Pictures, Douglas/Reuther Productions, Richard Gere, TriStar Pictures and Universal Pictures.

Portions of the film were filmed at Marquette University High School, as well as Miller Park, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and at Zephyr Field in New Orleans, Louisiana.
