Kirk Cameron and the choice to make Mercy Rule

For him the movie is one where the family truly learns about sacrifice, patience mercy and the trust we should have in God. He wanted to include some sort of sport to the film and decided to add baseball. To him the way the baseball game is played serves as a good metaphor for life. The importance of having a coach, that leader that guides the team. Also that when a wrong play is played, to keep moving on and continue the game.

Since he gave his life to the Lord, Cameron did not want to attach himself to big movie Hollywood standards.
