Calvin Marshall captures baseball's charms by introducing us to a few archetypal characters: the gruff, washed up coach who may or may not have a secret soft side, the optimistic player with more heart than talent, and a beautiful woman with a habit of throwing curve balls. Alex Frost plays the title character—a baseball fanatic who aspires to be a Major League player but unfortunately doesn't quite have what it takes to make the junior college team. The hilarious (as usual) Steve Zahn plays Calvin's coach, and though he seems to be as sour and cynical as they come, even he has trouble squelching his most dedicated prospect's dreams.

"Calvin Marshall hits a home run!"
Jay Rivera - HOUSTON EXAMINER
"At first glance, writer/director Gary Lundgren's Calvin Marshall could be mistaken for just another "baseball movie," but this poignant and humorous film delivers much more. Baseball is the focus of the main character, yet the heart of this film is more about passion and human nature."
