I remember first hearing about this guy Jimmy Morris on the radio one morning on the way to work and being impressed with his story of beating the odds. This has been the only time I've ever heard this station talk about Baseball, so that made realize even more that this is a landmark story.

After hearing that, I knew I had to see this movie upon hearing that it was coming out and it did indeed deliver its message with a line drive. The success of the movie is founded upon its emotions that take you in and make you want to get out and fervently pursue your life's ambitions. I'm not a baseball fan, but this is more a life-story than a baseball story, so as long as life applies to you this is a must see.
