🎬 Autographed Rookie of the Year LaserDisc – Signed by Thomas Ian Nicholas (Henry Rowengartner)

Own a nostalgic, oversized collectible from the beloved 1993 family sports classic Rookie of the Year — this LaserDisc Wide Screen Edition has been hand-signed by Thomas Ian Nicholas, who starred as Henry Rowengartner. Rookie of the Year tells the unforgettable story of a 12-year-old kid who suddenly gains the ability to throw major-league heat after a freak accident — leading to an unlikely rise as the Chicago Cubs’ youngest pitcher. The film became a 90s favorite for blending comedy, heart, and baseball magic, and remains a staple among sports-movie fans. This is a large-format LaserDisc jacket (much bigger than a DVD or Blu-ray), making it an outstanding display piece for framing or shelf presentation.
