A special moment.....

Rating: 10/10 (28 August 2002)

Although the cinematography and acting are not exactly top-notch, this movie has become one of my all-time favorites.....due to one scene.
Jim Morris calls home to tell his wife he's been called up to the big league. He asks her, "Will you tell everybody?" She responds, "Yeah, but there's one you have to tell first.", referring to Jim Morris' son, who has idolized his father regarding baseball.
I'm a 38-year-old, self-described tough-guy with a 3-year-old son. That statement was enough to get me teary. Then, the camera switches to Jim and he's about to lose it, too. That put me over the edge. I sobbed.
Thank you, Mr. Director, for creating a scene which touched my heart.
