Former baseball star Stan Ross, who goes by the nickname "Mr. 3000," thinking that his 3000 career base hits make him a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame, is shocked to discover several years after retiring that three of his hits have been disqualified. Now, as a saggy, egotistical 47-year-old, he must return to the ballpark, lest he forever be known as "Mr. 2997." Stan Ross returns to the brewers as the same old cocky player he always was, but after suffering through a terrible season Stan decides to return the next year as a hustling, tricky, do-it-all for the team player. Stan and "T-Rex," the team's current star, get together and decide something has to be done about the team's lackluster effort. Stan and T-Rex help get the Brewers on track, and even though they are out of the playoff hunt, they take the Brewers to a .500 record.
