BASEketball
Two slacker friends launch a wild new sport that blends basketball and baseball, only to battle a power‑hungry team owner who threatens to rewrite the game’s rules and dismantle their dream of an equal‑pay league.
“Two guys invented a game... and turned the sports world upside down!”
Synopsis
Coop and Remer, two individuals from Milwaukee, create a new game that merges basketball with the rules of baseball. As the game gains widespread popularity, they, with the assistance of a billionaire, establish the Professional Baseketball League, which features equal pay for all players and a rule preventing teams from relocating. When a rival team owner proposes significant rule changes, Coop and Remer's team becomes the sole opposition.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 25
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

Box Office
1998 · Box office
📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.3× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
Worldwide gross
$7.0M
Opening weekend: $3.1M — 44% of its US run. Front-loaded — most of its money arrived opening weekend.
