Help remembering name of movie

[Crono]

Not sure when the movie was made, might have been 80s or early 90s. The plot is about this guy who cost his team a baseball game, and as a result his entire life went in a different direction and he thought of himself as a loser. He didn't get the girl he wanted, he ended up poor, etc. Then somehow he's granted a wish or something, and ends up changing the past, and has a new life, but it turns out it isn't the life he wanted after all.

Anyone know what I'm talking about? Details are a little fuzzy, and I couldn't find it using keywords on IMDB or Google.

That's it! I have no idea if it was a good movie, but it was bothering me that I couldn't remember the details. Maybe I'll watch it sometime this week.

I bought the DVD out of the bargain bin a while back and haven't opened it yet.

might have to make up some cocktail (and call it the spillt milk, of course) and watch that tonight.

Mr. Destiny (James Beluishi and Michael Caine)- late 80's.
