One of the all-time greats

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2011)

This movie has been around since 1984, I was 14 when the movie was released. So everyone has had a chance to see this one. I watch it all the time. It never gets old. The acting, time period clothes, sayings and the game itself is fantastic. The music, who hasn't heard the great music. I hear it every time I attend the MLB ballpark close to my house and the home team hits a dinger. For those who think that this movie is not realistic, let me point to a ballplayer in the majors now. If you know baseball, you can figure out who I'm talking about, #32. His life and this movie have a lot of parallels. This movie is about promise, mistakes, redemption and the fulfillment on the promise. I love this movie for everything it is. The feel of the old time baseball is overflowing. I truly love this picture. One of the finest movies of baseball.
