An absolute gem of a sports movie. People may find it corny but for me it's one of my favorite movies of all time. Of course there are "better" movies but for some strange reason this one touches my heart. A man playing against old age one last time to reach the highest peak, to make himself immortal. For a sports fan there is nothing more poetic than that.
What a great idea of a plot for a baseball movie that blends romance into it as it follows a big time major league picture who is in the middle of one of his best games of all time as he reminisces over the timetable of him and his current girlfriend, and whether or not, he should retire and go spend time with her. I love these type of movies that go through a whole storyline based around one event in the whole movie. Of course, Kevin Costner is always a great casting, and other were as well. This movie really puts into words and actions of how the game of baseball truly is the pastime and it is romantic.

This was a relatively pleasant surprise. The story was pretty cliched but the baseball scenes were very well done. I'll credit this to Sam Raimi's direction. The love story was standard stuff but the ending was extremely sappy which was unfortunate.
