Veteran cop Charlie “CB” Battles (John Ashton) isn’t as young as he used to be, but don’t tell him that.
He still does sit-ups, he hits a mean line drive and he can still bring down a young punk with a headlong dive. But Charlie’s pushing 45 and the word has come down: he gets behind a desk or he gets enforced retirement.
But before they ship him off to the glue factory, Charlie has one more assignment.
The older cop will be teamed with a younger one – Joe “Kaz” Kaczierowski (Richard Tyson), who has long hair, rides a Harley and wears a Mexican Day of the Dead earring in his left ear.
Despite the tremendous chemistry between Ashton and Tyson, Hardball was axed after just one season.
