What movie am I looking for?

There is an old baseball movie that I saw when I was a kid but I can't remember the name of it. It was about a young kid who really liked this baseball player, he play for the tiger's. The only two things I remember is the kid's dad teaching him how to twirl spaghetti and the Tiger Player hitting an in the park homerun at the end of the movie. Anybody know what movie I am talking about?
