A HOME RUN!, 25 April 2003
Author: Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) from WILMINGTON, NC

This is one of the best baseball movie I've ever saw. Mark Harmon known for his role in St.Elsewhere was awesome at playing Billy. Jodie Foster was great at playing the dead friend. This movie was filled with nostagia. The music the memories, and the magic of getting back the love of an all-time sport. My favorite was when Young Billy finds out that Robin would only bare her soul to him. That was a good one in my book. Everything else will follow through out of every scene you watch. This movie deserves a 10!
