OK but not what it appeared to be, 11 April 2004
Author: ctomvelu from usa

Other posters are certainly welcome to take me to task for what I am about to say. Based on the commercials, I thought this TV movie was the story of a baseball legend, Honus Wagner. What it actually turned out to be was a muddled fantasy about a boy going back in time to meet Wagner. The boy, who plays baseball but is not very good at it, ends up becoming a much better player for having met Wagner. There's also a Spielbergian subplot involving Wagner's one true love, who got away. Thanks to the boy's intervention, she ends up being reunited with Wagner. The key to all this is a signed baseball card featuring Wagner, worth much dinero and critical to a plot element that has the kid coming from a financially troubled home. Ladies, get your hankies out. Men, drink a brew before approaching this.
