Clint Eastwood Amy Adams John Goodma
Gus Lobel (Clint Eastwood) has been one of the best scouts in baseball for decades, but, despite his efforts to hide it, age is starting to catch up with him. The front office of the Atlanta Braves is starting to question his judgment. The one person who might be able to help is also the one person Gus would never ask: his daughter, Mickey (Amy Adams), Mickey has never been close to her father, who was ill equipped to be a single parent after the death of his wife. Against her better judgment, and over Gus’s objections, Mickey joins him on his latest scouting trip to North Carolina.
