this be an excellent and little known movie . tom selleck do an outstanding job of act in this movie and with the japanese clint eastwood . i would love to see if this movie have come out on dvd yet and there be some spot that clearly have be cut . hiroku ( tom love interest ) have clearly have some part chop . it would be interesting to see more of japan in the film . the baseball sequence be far and away the most realistic of any baseball movie and i be quite sure most of the actor be current or former baseball player . i love load the tape of this movie at least once a year . best scene involve the lack of hat tipping after tom get bean in the big game and and an intensely sensual scene of tom have a hot bath with hiroku . dennis haysbert also do a great job and it good to see he finally get some recognition and not just in baseball movie ( he be also in major league ) .
