2023 Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame - Final Round

Henry Rowengartner

Henry Rowengartner
  • TV Show/Movie Appeared: Rookie of the Year (1993)
  • Actor/Actress: Thomas Ian Nicholas
  • Position Portrayed: Pitcher
  • Played For:: Chicago Cubs
  • Why you should vote:: Sometimes it is good to watch a sports movie through a kid’s eyes.
  • Why you should not vote:: The premise (pardon the pun) is a little too far out of left field.
  • Although the premise of an unathletic twelve year old suddenly having the ability to throw a wicked fastball due to a freak arm injury, it was easy to overlook because the film was clean fun, and reminded us that Baseball is supposed to be a game that we enjoy and not take so damned seriously. Maybe we are also giving it a pass because the twelve year old in question (Thomas Ian Nicholas), gave oral to a pre-train wreck Tara Reid in American Pie.
