"A disgraced father takes the helm of a dysfunctional baseball team controlled by overbearing parents and attempts to lead them against the cross-town rivals in the city championship."

NO HITMEN!???

Yeah, this is more like "BNB 2.0."

The players are HS, and this is based on actual events happening as we speak. The logline wasn't thought out completely- as the comments clearly show- but the essence of the story is there somewhere. It won't involve spies or hitmen, though!

I'm showing my age but I grew up loving the 'Bad News Bears' movies when I was a wee lad. They were ages ago (though there was a remake) but maybe with a new spin you can make it fresh.

The BNB movies were in less politically-correct times too. These days I wonder if parents would stand for a 'disgraced' father coaching their kids?

Could the coach's disgrace be a secret? And can you work that into the logline to add tension?

God forbid the coach is an ex-KGB assassin who is trying to get close to the grandfather of one of the kids who is a retired CIA agent he has a grudge against from the Cold War lol ;-)
