is a new movie releasing October 12, 2007 which tells the story of the 1991 state championship baseball team from Norway, Iowa. 1991 was the last year that Norway played with its own team, before a major school district consolidation. It stars Sean Astin (a.k.a. "Rudy") as the head coach. I tell you this for two reasons.
First, who doesn't love a good baseball movie, especially one that takes one in Iowa? Don't forget that the takes place near Dyersville, Iowa.
Second, as the coach of the team, Sean Astin proudly wears a t-shirt in the movie, and you can even see it in the trailer. The story is based on Kent Stock, a 1985 graduate of Luther who was the actual coach of the baseball team. 1970 Luther grad Terry Trimpe is an associate producer of the film, and played a role in getting Luther College on the big screen. .

And a tip of the hat to Shawn for informing me about the movie and its Luther references.
