why I loved this movie

Rating: Null/10 (6 March 2004)

I was excited about this movie when it first came out, and I loved it. This movie reminds me of Field of Dreams, with respect towards Kevin Costner co-starring in a serious baseball film. Unlike Field of Dreams, this movie was not a sappy, tearjerker. I am into sports, and I love baseball. This movie is appropriately named, and the plot involves Kevin Costner as a lifelong Detroit Tiger pitcher who is basically seen as being washed up. It does not help that he is also having relationship problems with his girlfriend (Kelly Preston).
This movie to me is very realistic (a lot more so than Field of Dreams and having a baseball field in your yard). My only regret is buying this movie on video and not on DVD.
