Great Baseball Picture

Rating: Null/10 (10 September 1999)

Saw For Love of the Game at a screening this week and was amazed at how well I loved this film. It is not just a romance picture, but a great baseball film that really gets you behind the game and him. Kevin Costner plays Billy Chaplin a man who has been with the Detroit Tigers since he was recruited when he was 19. He is now 40 and just found out that he is being traded, his girlfriend is leaving him for a job in England, and he still has pitch a game later today. He is in the loneliest place on Earth right now. You see how he met his girlfriend(Kelly Preston) and fell in love with her while he pitches the greatest game of his career a no hitter against the Yankees. This movie may sound like a date movie, but it is totally a movie for sport fans, which I am. So check it out
