    Once I heard the real Jim Morris interview on the Jim Rome radio showI had to watch in the theater. The actors did their homework in getting the terminology, excreting, etc. to authenticate the game of baseball. His confidence improved at each stage i.e., from the minors to the majors. What an asset to middle aged(average age in the mid-30’s) men can still fulfill their athletic dream (in light of the current bashing of man in the media). Just as pro golfer Tom Watson leading the 2007 Open Championship in his early 60’s (but lost in the playoff). Any man suffering from depression, this movie WILL lift one’s spirits up for a couple of hours!!!

    This is one of my favorite movies. I too wish there were an option to buy it. I don't want to just rent it, I'd like to have it in my library so I can watch it whenever I want without having to shell out more money.
