Mr. 3000 is a 2004 Touchstone Pictures/Dimension Films/Spyglass Entertainment/The Kennedy/Marshall Company film starring Bernie Mac and Angela Bassett.
Stan Ross (Bernie Mac) was a Milwaukee Brewers baseball star. After recording his 3,000th hit, the selfish and arrogant Ross immediately retired and left the Brewers, leaving the team without one of its star players in the middle of the 1995 playoff race. During the next nine years Ross used his nickname as a business tool, owning several profitable properties under the name "Mr. 3000" that made him a rich man.
The Brewers retire Ross' number several years after his retirement, but although the fans come in large numbers to honor Ross his former teammates stay away; the only player that attend the ceremony is a utility player from his early days in the majors. Further, the ex-player informs Ross that none of his other former teammates, including Robin Yount and Paul Molitor, wanted to attend the ceremony due to Ross' attitude.
