One of my favorite movies about Baseball

Rating: 8/10 (11 September 2019)

I love that it feels like it actually taking place in the past. The smell of hot dogs and popcorn radiating from the stands. The sweat and determination rolling off the players. Robert Redford as Hobbs is so likeable and probably the first movie I saw him in. This movie stayed with me for decades until I'm now rewatching it on Netflix. Richard Farnsworth plays his role of Red so perfectly-an ease and grace of someone who knows baseball and has gotten great wisdom. Glenn Close plays my favorite female character, Iris. She plays her character with a gentle elegance. She has spirit that makes her beauty outshine the other women in his life.
