Will be interseting when Aaron Boone double switches and brings in Shoeless Joe and John Kinsella
out of the corn...

Highly overrated movie.
Schmaltzy and kind of empty, upon reflection.
Other baseball movies from that era were superior.

Seemed like more of a father-son movie than a baseball movie to me.

It was both. Not mutually exclusive.

Yes, for those of us of a certain age, learning, playing, and going to the game with our dads was
a huge bonding thing. Still remember fondly doing those things with my pops.
The movie played and tugged well on those emotions.

I can't watch that movie today w/o feeling guilty for not taking more time off from work years ago.

Good point.
Spend time with your kids as they won’t always be young. Also do things with your dad as you won’t always have him around.
While not baseball, remember taking pops to the 1988 ND/Miami game. One of the best things I did and one of my best memories.

My new job's a hassle and the kid's got the flu, but is sure nice talking to you, dad...

Liked it well enough I guess.
Never felt the desire to rewatch it.
