For Love Of The Game
This movie is the perfect chick flick, if we might even attempt to taint it with that moniker. If not every rugged female wants to drive her convertible over a cliff a la 'Thelma and Louise' to prove her gumption and independence, then she should pick up a baseball and fire a strike. There's something about being empowered by baseball and playing it just as hard and tough as the boys -- much less facetious than the usual wimpy challenges women face in chick flicks. Having played fast-pitch softball competitively for the last 15 years, there's a dugout somewhere in my heart for this movie.
