Fantasy movies are the best. They stretch our minds and our imaginations. They remind us of possibilities. It's best to watch Field Of Dreams, take note of James Earl Jones' character, Terence Mann's closing quote, then watch this beauty, "People will come Ray. The one constant thru all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come.".

I seldom look for credibility in these types of movies. I want hope. If you don't walk away from The Natural with hope, then you just don't get it.
