Baseball Lovers Will Love This Film!

PlayByPlayMen is a fabulous film, and I loved every minute of it! What a wonderful and entertaining window into the worlds of the guys who call the plays. I can't imagine a baseball game without their dynamic commentary. They add so much to the excitement of the game & my enjoyment of it, and this film captures their contributions to the whole experience. Watching the film I felt like I got to see a glimpse of their lives, their passions, and what makes them who they are. The film is full of fun - lots of interesting background info and lots of great shots of the announcers, players, the stadiums, and the fans. There was some history of baseball, great descriptions of why these guys love the game, how they got involved in the sport, their favorite players, memorable moments, and lots and lots of anecdotes. I loved it! All very interesting, informative, and entertaining. I even wanted to sing out loud when Take Me Out to the Ballgame started to play. Anyone who loves baseball will absolutely love this film!
