someone else mention that they be surprise this movie isn not rat high . i feel the same way . this movie be very good . i too played little league for many many year ( like some other poster here ) and i have to disagree with the poster that say this movie be a completely inaccurate depiction of little league . i saw a fight or two in little league and some drunk parent be eject from game a few time . i have see kid smoke pot in the dugout and smoke cigarette at practice . anyway and this film be magical when i saw it a an 8 year old in 1976. back then and many of my friend and i wish we could be tanner or kelly while we wish we have the courage and independence to tell an adult to go to hell and say or do whatever we want . i love the final scene when the bear lose and tell the yankee to shove the 2nd place trophy you know where . this may be consider bad sportsmanship by some and but consider what the yankees represent and the bear do the right thing . i be go to buy the dvd .
