I have to say even thought I am not a fan of baseball nor do I watch it, I still very much enjoyed The Practice Proposal and it's sweet plot.After winning a charity-auction date she didn't even bid on, Liza Sutherland ends up on a date with her families rival teams baseman Cole Collins - a boy who she used to obsess over when the two were teenagers.Cole is a playboy who manages to get involved with the wrong women at the wrong time, and get caught by paparazzi while doing so. With his Nationals contract and future on the line, Frank, Cole's agent suggests Cole to settle-down - with Liza being the perfect woman. Too bad she is no longer a teenagers but a smart, beautiful woman that he cannot help but find himself attached.When his first attempt fails, Frank steps into the mix by offering Liza five hundred thousand dollars towards her charity if she goes out with Cole until the end of the season. But she would only get the money if she doesn't fall in love with Cole by the end of their agreement.The Practice Proposal was a wonder story, I loved the plot and I thoroughly enjoyed the characters who were perfect in their own ways even with their own flaws. Cole the playboy who wasn't sure that he could settle-down with anyone until he reignited the passion with a girl from his past and Liza, who had already last once a man she fell in love with. They were addictive not to fall in love with both of them, and it was easy to root for both Cole and Liza till the very end. Cole was wonderful to Liza and the lengths he went to win her heart and sweep her off her feet was as sweet as it was swoon worthy.I liked the attraction and the history between Cole and Liza. I also enjoyed the bit of mystery of what had happened between Cole and Liza's parents. Growing up poor, Cole ended up in Liza's dad's camp, fortunate enough to get funding from a anonymous donor. He was suppose to be drafted by Liza's dad's team when the Nationals drafted him first. Cole relationship with Frank was also a bit shocking, but I am glad for his happy ending.Both of them made deals that could cost them their hearts and you cannot help but wonder how it would all come out. The ending was a bit sad, joyful and completely rewarding! I didn't need to know or enjoy baseball in order to enjoy this little gem!
