Before I write this, let me just say I am a die hard baseball fan. Being from Philly, I have gone to numerous Phillies spring training games in Clearwater, FL.
I do not understand how this movie can possibly be rated so highly on IMDb. NOTHING HAPPENS IN THE MOVIE. I just watched it. And if someone were to ask me how it ended, I am not sure I can tell them. OK, great, a story of a rising young star who thinks hes too cool for school is going waste his talent if not for the guidance of a veteran. WOW. what a novel idea. give me a break. sure there are a few good lines, but none that I can repeat to my friends the day after I watch it. I just can not understand why sports fans have fallen in love with this movie. the story was bland, unoriginal, and pretty much boring. I kept watching, waiting, watching, waiting for SOMETHING to happen. but nothing did.
