Here Come the Tigers
Introduction '''''Here Come the Tigers''''' is a 1978 American sports comedy film directed by Sean S. Cunningham.
Plot "A wild team of misfits think that they can make it big. What's a coach to do with a chronic nose-picker, a flatulent fielder, an out of control pitcher, a juvenile delinquent and the prettiest girl in the state? Turn this bunch of losers into a winning team! When their new coach enlists an unusual new teammate, it's a whole new ballgame as they band together to win their first championship, determined to prove that losers can be winners, too."

Production Cunningham said in ''Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th'' (2005) he believed that the film cost $250,000 to make, "if that. It could be much lower. It was guerrilla filmmaking. It was all kids from the little leagues; it was like being on a three-week field trip with a bunch of sixth-graders. It was good and bad, frustrating and exciting. I loved it. "Victor Miller, who wrote the film under the pseudonym Arch McCoy, said: "Those were the days when everybody said, 'What America needs is a good G-rated movie.' I guess ''Here Come the Tigers'' made its money back, but they lied about America wanting G-rated films."
Reception ''Variety'' called it a ripoff of ''The Bad News Bears'' (1976), trying to cash in on the success of the original and its sequel, with dull direction and dreadful acting.
