Two losers from Milwaukee, Coop and Remer, invent a new game combining basketball with the rules of baseball. When the game becomes a huge success, they, along with a billionaire's help, form the Professional Baseketball League where everyone gets the same pay and no team can change cities. When a rival owner wants to institute major rule changes, Coop and Remer's team is the only one standing in the way.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This flopped hard in 1998 but became a dorm room staple through DVD—predicting how comedy success would be measured by rewatchability, not box office.
