Jim Morris’s dream was to become a major league baseball player.  He was originally drafted in 1984, out of college by the Milwaukee brewers.  But his career was derailed by a series of arm injuries before he got out of the minors four years later.

So, Jim put his big league dreams on hold, got his college degree, got married, raised a family and became a high school science teacher and baseball coach in the small west Texas town of “big lake”

Eleven years after retiring from minor league baseball, Jim was giving a speech to his high school team about the importance of dreams and hard work when his high school players challenged him to pursue his own dream of pitching in the major leagues. Jim made a bet with the team: if they won the district championship, he would tryout for the majors.

The team won the championship, so Jim went for the major league tryout. Even at his age, he had a 98-mile an hour fast ball.  Jim made it.  He pitched for the Tampa bay devil rays in 2000 and then the l.a. dodgers, before retiring from baseball in 2001.

But Jim’s meteoric rise from 35-year-old high school teacher to flame-throwing major league pitcher in 3 months, caught Hollywood’s attention, and Disney turned his story into a film called “The Rookie” starring Dennis Quaid.
