If you love the Game, you'll like the movie.

Rating: Null/10 (26 September 1999)

The critics have been lukewarm at best, and, objectively, I guess they're right. But if you love baseball and are into romantic themes, you'll forgive this film its trespasses and you're likely to really enjoy it.
If you think baseball is boring, you'll think this (somewhat overlong) movie is boring, too.
Incidentally, the Shaara novel on which the film was based is first-rate.
