Jim “The Rookie” Morris is a bestselling author who was portrayed by Dennis Quaid in the hit Disney film “The Rookie”. Jim’s amazing life warranted major Hollywood studios fighting for the right to tell his story. Achieving impossible feats is what Jim has done throughout his life. Overcoming a very abusive father, 70 surgeries, a failed MLB career, substance abuse, and even Parkinson's Disease. He is truly a blessed man, who was meant to move and inspire millions of people.
After winning the state championship as a wingback, punter and kicker for the legendary Texas high school football coach Gordon Wood, (playing football because they didn’t have a baseball team) he went on to pitch in the minor leagues but soon retired after having a losing record and major arm surgeries that forced him to stop. 10 years later, Jim promised the high school baseball team he coached that he would try out again for the majors if they won the championship. So, at age 35 he did, and he was shocked to find out he was throwing at 98 MPH, 10 miles an hour faster than he ever had in his early 20s. His story was well known to all of the MLB and eventually Disney came with an offer to bring it to the big screen. The star-studded and award-winning movie went on to make $100 Million Dollars.
