Did you see the Disney movie The Rookie with Dennis Quaid? Well this is the true story behind the movie. It takes a lot of guts to pursue a dream that you've given up, especially when the pieces of your life are finally starting to fit together. Jim had a family, a good job and an ideal coaching job, but he took a chance and followed his dream to play Major League Baseball and in the process became the oldest rookie ever to play in the majors. His major league career wasn't long, but he took that chance and followed his childhood dream.
