Young foster children Roger (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and his friend J.P. (Milton Davis, Jr.) love to sneak into baseball games of the hopelessly dreadful California Angels.
Still in limited contact with his father, Roger asks when they will be a family again. His father replies, “I’d say when the Angels win the pennant.” Taking his father’s words literally, Roger prays for God to help the Angels win.
The next time he and J.P. go to see a game, he sees a group of angels led by Al (Christopher Lloyd) helping the team. Although Roger can see the angels quite clearly, everyone else can only explain the seemingly impossible acts as freak occurrences.
Roger’s unique ability to see which players are receiving help from angels leads the Angel’s skeptical manager, George Knox (Danny Glover) to keep Roger around as a good luck charm/consultant. Due to the much needed help, the Angel’s start to win games and make a surprising second-half surge to the top of their division. Unfortunately, Roger’s father permanently gives up custody of his son instead.
On the championship game none of the Angels show up to help the team. Later on Al explains that championships must be played without help from the Angels and that he was just checking Mel Clark who will be one of them soon (he’s been a smoker for years and only has six months left to live). Through out the game Mel Clark has been in, but is getting tired after 159 pitches. Coach Knox goes in, everyone thinks he’s going in to take him out, but instead goes in for some motivation.
The Angels ultimately win the final game of the regular season without the help of the angels and clinch the division pennant over the rival Chicago White Sox. The movie ends with George adopting both Roger and J.P. J.P. saw Al at the window and knew it could happen. Al circles around the house and says “We’re always watching”. Read more
