Rookie of the Year was kind of cheesy, but a decent little G-rated baseball movie in the "that shit could never really happen" genre.

I thought it was a Disney after-school type of movie...I don't remember any swearing or anything else that would nudge it out of G-ville.

Edited to add: The Busey Factor is enough to get this one into the second round alone. |
