"The Rookie" with Dillon Cheverere (Washed Media, @DCheverere)

In 1999 Jim Morris completed the ultimate "follow your dreams" story by going from teaching and coaching high school baseball to pitching in the big leagues in a matter of months. Disney followed that up three years later with "The Rookie."Returning guest Dillon Cheverere joins to discuss his experience as an extra in the film, as well as break down all aspects of the film. We talk Dennis Quaid's mechanics, small Texas towns, and potentially the hottest married couple in Disney history. Follow Dillon on Twitter @DCheverere, and check out washedmedia.com for his podcasts, Circling Back and The Mail-In. Big Screen Sports is brought to you by Blue Wire Podcasts and presented by BetOnline.ag and Blue Chew.  Learn more about your ad choices.
