Edit

mechwarrior2 found it on Youtube.


It came out in 1992.

Major League Baseball manager Sparky Smith is fired from his job with the Seattle Mariners. His attitude has gotten him into trouble with George, the owner of the Mariners, and no other team seems to want any part of him. The Olympic Games are coming up, however, and a spirit of glasnost exists in the post-Soviet Russia, which is trying to field its first Olympic baseball team.

Sparky reluctantly accepts an offer to move to Moscow to coach the players, many of whom don't even know the game's fundamentals...

Even though it's probably awful and not surprisingly obscure - I looked for public torrents. I couldn't find any.

ReadFanon put a torrent magnet link in their comment.

    Here's a magnet link to a DVD rip of the film. Idk if there are any seeders so it might have to run for a few weeks or months before it comes alive.

    It was uploaded on December 2022 so there's a good chance that it's still being seeded somewhere.

      How the heck did you find that???

      My go-to public site for hard/impossible stuff is https://bt4gprx.com/ - and it had nothing. That tracker is crazy. They can have results for even very obscure stuff and they seem to never remove their magnet links.

      I found the movie on a private tracker but it was only a VHS rip.


      Edit

      It's actually a VHS rip. It must be the same one that's at the private tracker.

        Bruh. You gotta go to the dark recesses of the Russian internet for the best piracy hookups. Yandex is king when it comes to this stuff.

        You might need a proxy to access some sites that Yandex pulls up, depending on which country you're in and what's banned, and you're going to want a browser that does in-site translation to navigate.

        It's a bit of a learning curve but you quickly become familiar with the ins and outs of it.

        "[key terms]" + [filetype/torrent] will pull up tons of stuff that you don't get on the mainstream western search engines.

        The link was posted on a Russian torrent message board btw.

        It's actually a VHS rip. It must be the same one that's at the private tracker.

        Oh damn, that sucks. The message board said it was a DVD rip and I figured by the size of it that it was the case. Sorry for giving you a dead-end.

          The site I linked to seems to index (some) Russian trackers. It didn't occur to at all to be to use Yandex though.
