Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film drew record crowds to Miller Park, home of the Milwaukee Brewers. Scenes were often shot between innings.
- GoofsRight after the Ice Cream song scene, a montage of baseball clips is set to Rob Base's song 'It Takes Two'. During the montage, the Brewers are shown playing the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. The Brewers are in the 3rd base dugout, while the Cubs are in the 1st base dugout. The Cubs dugout is actually the 3rd base dugout; any visiting team is in the 1st base dugout.
- Quotes
Big Horse Borelli: You know, a lot of people said that Stan only looked out for himself, that he wasn't a team player. But I'm here to tell you, if you get 3000 hits, you don't have to be a team player. If you have a lifetime .314 average, you don't have to be a good guy. If you lead the league in batting for three years, you can be the biggest jerk in the world!
- Crazy creditsAt the end of the credits there is a short clip of the Brewer's No. 4 hot dog dancing.

I always find myself captivated by the baseball scenes. Something about the "will to win" plot of just about all sports movies is what I can't get enough of. This movie was no different.
If you liked the Major League series, Mr. Baseball, *61, Babe, Bull Durham, Field Of Dreams, The Natural or even Angels In The Outfield, A League Of Their Own, The Fan and The Naked Gun (The baseball scenes made the movie as funny as it was), then there's no doubt you'll like Mr. 3000 as well. I give 8 of 10 stars.
