The Final Season is the baseball movie based on the story of a high school baseball team in Iowa. QCTimes.com has the following review.
Iowa-made 'Final Season' goes down swinging
It never hits a home run. But “Final Season,” an adequate movie about an above-average baseball team, isn’t a loser, either.
It’s too bad the script isn’t stronger because the true story of the Norway Tigers is a good one. The show is set in Norway, Iowa, near Cedar Rapids, which had a population of about 600 in the 1990s.
The town lives and breathes high school baseball, and everyone loves the tough, winning coach, Jim Van Scoyoc (Powers Boothe), who spouts sports movie clichés at, well, the drop of a hat: “Baseball’s the only game on earth where the object is to get home,” he says. And “We grow baseball players like corn.”
