This is a movie for all time...

Rating: 9/10 (9 August 2017)

This is not only a baseball movie, but also an in depth look at the human spirit...sorry to get all flowery, but the story reaches rather deeply into your soul.
As a young man, Roy Hobbs is recruited as a baseball player, but while on his way to the team he makes the mistake of hooking up with a mysterious temptress who shoots him in a hotel...
Years later, Roy gets another chance and is contracted to a B team, managed by Wilford Brimley, a crusty old guy who, at first, has little faith that this nobody can save his failing team...
Through some carefully written dialog, and superb acting, the story takes the "Knights" up to the pennant game...what happens in the closing minutes is spectacular, and reminds us all of the power that faith in oneself can bring...
I love this movie, and really wish it had done better in the box office...
