i know it only a fantasy film but and still and if you know the slight thing about baseball this movie can be annoy at time because ballplayer would not act like this . even bad and major league player wouldn not be this inept and to begin with . these guy couldn not make a little league team and and they be play professional baseball . come on . how much be we suppose to swallow here . listen . it a nice story and a good natured film and but it just too far fetched . however and i can some non baseball fan enjoy it and or old folk enjoy this for the pure nostalgia of see some baseball back 50 year ago . i like that part and myself and and appreciate a movie with some sentimentality and sweetness to it and which this do . i also like dan dailey and who play the boy father . billy chapin be likable a the kid and too . so what i be cry about . it just that no ballclub be go to employ ( or even listen to ) some little kid and even if it be secretly come from his knowledgeable dad . maybe i have watch too many steven spielberg movie . he always portray kid a smarter than adult and which be ludicrous . i hate to see the same in a classic era film in which writer have more sense than the twisted politically correct moron of today .
