Ep. 30 | Rookie of the Year & Hot Ice

"Hot ice. It's the best of both worlds." 🧊⚾
This week on Millennial Meets Gen Z: 90's Edition, we rewind Rookie of the Year (1993)—the movie that convinced an entire generation that breaking your arm might be a viable path to Major League Baseball.
When 12-year-old Henry Rowengartner breaks his arm, it heals with a very unusual side effect: a 100+ mph fastball. Before long, he's pitching for the Chicago Cubs, making Sports Illustrated, and trying to balance baseball fame with being a kid.
We're talking:
- Henry Rowengartner and the Cubs' magical playoff run
- Daniel Stern directing and playing Brickma
- The mystery of Hot Ice
- Why Gary Busey's Chet Stedman might be the heart of the movie
- "Pitcher's got a big butt!" and other elite baseball taunts
Plus: John Candy, hidden ball tricks, Wrigley Field, and Hannah's surprisingly harsh review.
