  • Best Baseball movie

    I love this movie. Summer 1961: Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle are on pace to break the most hallowed record in U.S. sports, Babe Ruth's single-season 60 home runs. It's a big story, and the intense, plain-spoken Maris is the bad guy: sports writers bait him and minimize his talent, fans cheer Mantle, the league's golden boy, and baseball's commissioner announces that Ruth's record stands unless it's broken within 154 games. Any record set after 154 games of the new 162-game schedule will have an asterisk. The film follows the boys of summer, on and off the field: their friendship, the stresses on Maris, his frustration with the negative attention, and his desire to play well, win, and go home Barry and Thomas are perfect for their rolls in this movie, you do truly believe they are Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris. A must see for any baseball fan.

  • heavywieght of baseball movies

    you do not need to be a baseball fan to enjoy this biopic about the 1961 record breaking run of roger maris and mickey mantle. it shows the price that these two new york yankees paid as the pursued the single season homerun record set by babe ruth in in 1932. the two team mates fiercely competed for the title but emerged as friends. barry pepper and thomas jane make the two yankee legends likable and simpathetic.

  • Best sports movie ever!

    I love this movie. I have been waiting for it to be on TV again, but it never was run on any channel. I decided to look for it on-line and when I found it, I immediately sent for it. It is a movie that my husband and I will watch one or more times a year.
