Could a Rookie of the Year Sequel be in the Works?

23 years ago, Henry Rowengartner helped the Chicago Cubs to a World Series victory.

Now, nearly a quarter-century since “Rookie of the Year” hit the big screen, the film’s star, Thomas Ian Nicholas, disclosed that the movie could be getting a sequel in 2018…just in time for its 25^th anniversary.

“I went on (Facebook) and said ‘hey, just started filming Rookie of the Year 2: The Revenge…the weird part is being a 35-year-old in junior high school.’” Nicholas told The Hall of Very Good Podcast. “I started getting text messages from friends in the industry saying ‘hey, that’s awesome…where are you filming?’ It was then that I realized that a Rookie of the Year sequel was not just a good April Fool’s Joke…that it was a good idea.”

Go on.

“I started spinning it around,” Nicholas continued. “I called the producer of Rookie of the Year to gauge his interest. He called over to FOX and they’re not saying ‘no’. They’re not saying ‘yes’…but the good part is that they’re not saying ‘no’.”

So you’re saying there’s a chance? This might be the best news I’ve heard all week.
