Flawed, but very enjoyable.

Rating: Null/10 (18 September 1999)

I guess this was 2 movies for the price of one--the love story and the baseball story. I found the baseball scenes generally rang true (speaking as a girl whose knowledge of these things is strictly second- or third-hand) and were gripping and fascinating, although I felt the final scenes were too drawn out. And what was with that dialogue from the announcers? The love story was sweet if not believable. All in all a very enjoyable movie, but probably could have been much better.
