We'll be honest: We've seen "Rookie of the Year" 20 or so times. Little Big League? Zero. Transformers and Go-Bots as far as we're concerned.
The sentiment of this paragraph is so objectively wrong and self-defeating I am genuinely wondering whether the author believes GoBots was a better cartoon/toy franchise than Transformers. That might just make more sense. In fact, contrasting LBL to RoY should be the go to analogy anytime anyone wishes to compare two categorically similar yet completely qualitatively different things. ("Looks like you brought Rookie of the Year to a Little Big League fight.")
Rookie of the Year is also just such a terrible movie on its own. (GoBots was at least half-decent robots-that-become-vehicles children's programming.) Who wants to watch it even a second time? It makes a mockery of the game with the worst baseball scenes ever put on film. The "bad guy" is the big cross-eyed dude from Revenge of the Nerds. In Little Big League, it's (sort of) Ken Griffey Jr. In LBL, the kid is a FAR better actor (no squeaky voice), and there's no Gary fucking Busey.
This writer is apparently auditioning for a spot in the BBWAA.
