A young baseball fan sets out on a cross-country quest to recover
Babe Ruth's stolen bat and restore his father's good name in a computer animated family adventure that shows you're never too young to be a hero.
Yankee Irving (voice of
Jake T. Austin) may not be the best base-runner in his neighborhood, but his love of the game is about to lead him on the adventure of a lifetime when a legendary baseball bat is stolen from
Yankee stadium on his father's watch. Now determined to get back the bat from the crooked security guard who swiped it (voice of
William H. Macy) and place it back in the grip of the best hitter in baseball history, young
Yankee is about to find out just what it's really like to walk out on the diamond to the sounds of a thousand cheering fans. Filmed under the title
Yankee Irving and originally slated to be directed by the late
Christopher Reeve,
Everyone's Hero was completed by directors
Colin Brady and
Dan St. Pierre when
Reeve passed away as the result of a heart attack in 2004, and features additional voice work by actors
Whoopi Goldberg,
Mandy Patinkin,
Raven, the late
Dana Reeve,
Rob Reiner, and
Brian Dennehy.
