Season of Miracles

Season Of Miracles concerns a Little League team coached by John Schneider that has discovered a real baseball find. A regular Babe Ruth who both pitches and hits to perfection. The problem is that young Grayson Russell is autistic and with the usual socialization problems that come with that.

This film is shot on location and for relative pittance and lacks a lot of production values. Other than Schneider the only other name you might recognize is that of Nancy Stafford formerly of Matlock playing a nurse.

But as this is a regional story set in the south I think it was a wise decision to cast it with locals. They come across as real kids instead of Hollywood kids. Also standing out is Andrew Wilson Williams as the preacher's kid who stands up for his challenged teammate.

Overt preaching is kept to a minimum which is good. Season Of Miracles is a nice family film.
