i be not a sport fan . i remember watch this film grow up . i remember the great walter mathau a the grumpy coach and tatum oneal a the female pitcher . i enjoy the relationship he have with the team especially amanda . i also love the theme music in the movie . the movie be well regard for many reason particularly it smart write and great acting and and direction . i enjoy classic and this one be certainly a classic to be remember . it funny yet realistic and touch a the former major league player become the most unlikely coach of a lose baseball team . mathau be perfect for this role . oneal show how she win an academy award and the cast be well memorable as well . the film would come up with a series that do not last a long because the magic just wasn not there .
