Still in limited contact with his father, Roger asks when they will be a family again. His father replies, "I'd say when the Angels win the pennant." Taking his father's words literally, Roger prays for God to help the Angels win.


The next time he and J.P. go to see a game, he sees a group of angels led by Al (Christopher Lloyd) helping the team. Although Roger can see the angels quite clearly, everyone else can only explain the seemingly impossible acts as freak occurrences.

Roger's unique ability to see which players are receiving help from angels leads the Angel's skeptical manager, George Knox (Danny Glover) to keep Roger around as a good luck charm/consultant. Due to the much needed help, the Angel's start to win games and make a surprising second-half surge to the top of their division. However, Roger's father permanently gives up custody of his son.

deseretnews.com - Movie review: Angels in the Outfield | Deseret Morning News Web edition (582 words)
This "Angels in the Outfield" is a cut above others of this ilk, thanks to the presence of Danny Glover and some razzle-dazzle special effects in its presentation of heavenly intervention.
While "Angels in the Outfield" never actually endorses religion, per se, there is an interesting speech in the film's latter half, where both Knox and Roger's foster mother Maggie (Brenda Fricker) speak up in a press conference about the existence of angels.
Glover is blustery in the film's first half and saintly in the second, naturally lending heft to the light material.
