Rookies

Recommended for baseball lovers. Tells the story of a japanese literature teacher who changed a baseball club from one that only liked violence to a true baseball club

Both are about a teacher changing students life by making them follow their dreams

They are similar because they were both made in the 2000's. They are also similar in that they both have baseball themes, but the rookies focus more on the baseball theme than the latter. They are both fun to watch. And they also both have delinquents.
