after read all the comment praise this movie and i go on a quest to find a copy of it . what a major disappointment . i give it a 3 instead of a 0 only because virginia madsen be beautiful to look at and albeit she be a whore in the movie . the film be pure trash . baseball be secondary to drink and swear and have sex and cheating and and be plain obnoxious . petersen and whom i like a an actor and be too cocky in this and have very low moral standard . the guy that play joe louis brown be almost a bad and but not quite . the baseball action isn not bad and but less time be spend on the playing field than in the barroom or bedroom . how can this be call a baseball movie . and you just know how it go to end and it so predictable . two guys come into the game in the last inning and win it for them . the movie would have be good if they have lose the game . and the wedding at the end be anti climatic . i give each couple six month to a year before they get divorce . this be certainly not a movie to sit down and watch with your family . if real ballplayer be like these guy and then there be no hero in baseball . a real poor example of sportsmanship and clean cut living . how do this movie get to tv unless it be really late at night . august 10 and 2008. so many people have disagree with me on this movie and that i decide to watch it again . i do and and it still stink . now that be my opinion . you may love the movie and that fine with me . we all have different taste . you can at least agree with that and right . to each his own .
