Fellow Englishman here, this film was on one Christmas not long after I was married ( 1989 ). We watched it as a family, with my parents and younger sisters. When Ray asks his Dad to play catch, my typically reserved English Dad burst into tears and left the room, it was the first time I saw him cry ... As a 7 year old in July 1943, he'd waved his Dad off as he went off to his Royal Signals posting ... two days later, two Officers arrived at my Gran's door with the news that he'd been killed trying to save people during a bombing raid on the Rolls Royce Aero Engine factory in Derby .. I think the film brought all those suppressed feelings about his father to the surface, and the emotional dam burst ... In 1996, he suffered a heart attack on holiday in New England, and had a 6 way by-pass at a hospital in Boston, performed over 8 hours by a Professor of Cardiology at Harvard. Eighteen months later, he, me and my 12 old son played a round of Golf, and had a bite to eat together afterwards. We said our goodbyes, and when I got home, it was my turn to cry like a baby ... my wife understood, " It's your Field of Dreams moment, you've done something today you thought you'd never be able to do " . Dad's 88 now, suffers from bad vascular Dementia and is in a Residential home. I love this film ...

You CANNOT try to make logical sense of this film. It’s not possible. You must simply give in to the fantasy of it and experience the journey. I love this movie so much. I’ve seen it dozens of times, and I still cry at the end.

Baseball isn't just a sport for Americans; it's a deeply ingrained part of our cultural DNA. When outsiders watch films like 'Field of Dreams,' they often approach it with a more analytical eye, lacking the emotional connection we Americans feel. For us, it's not just a game; it's a flood of memories and emotions that awaken our inner child. The sights, sounds, and smells of baseball-the crack of the bat, the scent of popcorn and hotdogs, the feel of a well-worn glove-transport us back to simpler times. Even the sight of a Little League game can evoke nostalgia. While I may watch more football and basketball these days, baseball retains a special place in my heart, and I believe, in the hearts of many Americans. There's something magical about experiencing baseball in person. The energy of the crowd, the intimacy of the stadium-it's an experience that television simply can't replicate. And when you add the layer of learning the game from a loved one-whether it's a father, brother, uncle, or grandad-the emotional connection deepens even further. 'Field of Dreams' captures all of this beautifully, reminding us why we fell in love with baseball in the first place. As I grow older, its impact on me only intensifies, serving as a poignant reminder of the timeless bond between the game and the American spirit.

Burt Lancaster shows what a real movie star is. Every word drips with drama and warmth.

When I saw this movie when it first came out, I didn't think about baseball or Ray's dad. I thought about my mother and how I couldn't connect with her. I realized that by the time children "know" their parents, their parents have been worn down by life. Your parents have compromised in order to make your life better. I cried at the end of that film, not because of Ray but because of myself and my mother. What I didn't know or appreciate about my mother and how much I missed. That's what this film is about. It's about the desire to connect with those you love and the dreams you share, even though you have those dreams at different times chronologically -- your parents having aspirational dreams unrelated to you a generation earlier than you -- but not different in terms of the actual dreams of fulfillment, or pursuing what you love.

I’m 40 years old and have seen this movie hundreds of times and I cry every time he ask his dad to play catch

Grown men cry at the end of this movie. I’m a 63 year old man and I can relate to the relationship I wish I would have had with my father who is long gone

James Earl Jones character was real and alive. Recall that Ray’s brother in law could see and interact with him. He is healed as well by getting back into writing, which is his happy place and is a way back into society, rather than isolating himself.

All the players mentioned in the film were real, including Archibald "Moonlight" Graham. It was exactly like it was in the movie; he played in 1 game but never got to bat. Those old men in the bar that told Terence about Doc Graham were telling stories about the real Doc Graham. They weren't actors.

On the 25th I'm going to meet my seven year old nephew. He plays baseball. I told him I'm bringing my glove. My brother told me how excited he is. I can't wait.

If Terrence was dead they wouldn't be talking about him writing again. The only ghosts were the ballplayers. The movie Karin was watching near the beginning was "Harvey" starring James Stewart. That would be a great one to watch.

Some trivia for you... the land on which the baseball field was built was originally owned by two different families. The Lansing Family owned the farm house and the ball diamond. The Ameskamp family owned left and center field. When shooting for the movie ended, the Ameskamp portion was plowed into farm ground again but the Lansing family kept the diamond and people did in fact come to see the now famous ball diamond. After a year, the Ameskamp family rebuilt the left and center field but due to some disagreements between the two families, they operated each part separately. In 1990, a neighboring farmer started a baseball team called the "Ghost Players" who would play at the famous ball park to entertain visitors once a month, increasing the number of people who would go to experience the site. In 1991 and 1992, celebrity games were held with Hall of Fame ball players and movie celebrities playing to raise money for local charities. In 2006, the Ameskamp land was sold to the Lansing family so for the first time, the entire field was owned by one family. In 2011 the family sold the entire farm and the Go The Distance Baseball organization has been taking care of it since. (Go The Distance is now primarily owned by former baseball star Frank "The Big Hurt" Thomas) Major League Baseball has held at least two games there and there are plans to do more as the attendance and viewership of the games were very good. If you like the farmhouse, you can rent it for $2200-$2500 a night. The site now gets about 100,000 visitors per year so Karen's words in the movie "People will come." came true.

I showed this to my dad decades ago, and he cried like a baby at the end. Missing his dad. I have to say I've never heard two people grapple so endlessly about this lovely movie. Just to enjoy it and feel it. Nothing sinister or complicated. Laughter, tears, life.

The Moonlight Graham character is my favorite. Beautifully acted, beautifully written. And, technically, he never had an at bat because a sacrifice doesn't count as an at bat. He never got his wish but he got his dream.

Dam this movie made me cry as a 18 year old father and now I'm a 54 year old grandfather and this movie makes me cry for a whole other reason. Miss you Dad and sorry to my children for my mistakes.

Nice to see famous actor Bert Lancaster as Doc in one of his last roles.

RIP Ray Liotta Goodfellas Legend!

most people miss the fact that Graham's only hit was a sacrifice fly...mirror reflection of his life as a doctor

The movie that is guaranteed to make grown men cry

His brother in law gets a bad rap. He can’t see it and he’s trying to help his sister and her family stay there.

If you're interested in the 1919 World Series and Shoeless Joe, You should react to the movie Eight Men out, it's an 80's movie with John Cusack and big ensemble cast about the 1919 World Series and the Black Sox Scandal. The book Eight Men Out is loaded with even more details, but the movie does a good job of covering the basic story.

This movie is a tear jerker every time. Dreams came to pass for all these men at that field in Iowa. MLB built a ballfield next to this one and a Field of Dreams game was played there between the White Sox and Yankees in the old uniforms. It was introduced by Kevin Costner walking out of the corn. You can see it on RU-vid and it had an epic ending! Cheers!

I think I cry every time I watch this movie. I've probably seen it 20 times.

The journalist in Minnesota did interact with Terrance, she told him he was a good writer and answered his questions as well as the town folk who knew Doc Graham. I see it as a way for him to be re-inspired to write again because he made a difference when he did.

Costner was actually a pretty good ball player in college, he went to Cal State Fullerton here in SoCal. He’s one of the few actors that can look good out there playing baseball on film.

This movie reminded me of my father who played semi-pro basketball in the Midwest. He got invited to a tryout for the Cardinals. The day of the tryout it rained, and it was canceled. That was his one shot. Years later he taught his sons how to pitch.

The movie Karen was watching was "Harvey" staring Jimmy Stewart. You need to check that out.

Kind of a quintessential American movie--and yes about 99% of boys learn how to catch first by catching with their Dad. I did. I remember how much it hurt until I learned to catch in mostly in the webbing (and slide my index finger to the outside finger holes of the glove). He was a pitcher when he was young--and I became one, too.

Having grown up in a baseball family this is the ultimate childhood fantasy - being able to play catch with your father when you were about same age. No man can get through that ending - "Hey Dad, want to have a catch?" - without that strong, heartfelt emotion. Maybe this is heaven.

Its a father, son relationship movie wrapped in a baseball metaphor. Terrance Mann upon first meet. "Dont blame me your father never played catch with you" End of movie, Ray, " Dad , wanna have a catch?". They reality of it could be a single dream all the way to actually happening, leaning maybe more to the latter with the appearance of all the cars coming.

This film is baseball meets magical realism. It’s what a baseball movie written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez would look like🤣

In the book, the field is in Iowa. The lesson is that heaven is where YOU MAKE IT.

I live about 50 miles from the field. MLB has built a stadium on the site, now too. There is one MLB game played there every year, in August. This only started 2 or 3 seasons ago. Terrance Mann was played by James Earl Jones (Darth Vader voice from Star Wars) an American Treasure among actors. Another giant among actors was Burt Lancaster (Doc Graham).

A lot of Americans have nothing really in common with each other, but can always bond over baseball. That’s kind of why this movie is so important to people. Other baseball movie recommendations: Bull Durham (Kevin Costner as a veteran catcher stuck in the minor leagues helps a young pitching prospect who has a great fastball but is childish and immature), Mr. Baseball (Tom Selleck is a struggling veteran in the MLB who nobody wants anymore, so he decides to play in Japan), A League of Their Own (a story about how when all of the men fought in WWII, a professional women’s baseball league was formed).

One little fun fact about the scenes they shot in Fenway Park: two of the extras (who, as far as I can tell, were never actually on camera but were in the crowd) were Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. I can't remember exactly what they said but they've talked about how, being Boston guys, they just looked for any way/excuse to get into Fenway and jumped on the chance to be extras so they could hang out in there.

When I watched this I thought it was clear that the James Earl Jones character was an analog for JD Salinger, who wrote “Catcher in the Rye” but who shunned fame and lived a nearly hermit-like life. Eventually when I read the novel (‘Shoeless Joe’ by WP Kinsella) I found I was right - the kidnapped writer in the book wasn’t a fictional name at all, it was JD Salinger. Also, the real world novelist was WP Kinsella, and the protagonist character (Kevin Costner) is named Ray Kinsella - which despite having the novelist’s last name is a character name from a Salinger short story. But then the weirdest thing of all was that WP Kinsella was actually Canadian lol.

You guys should watch the highlights from when the Yankees and white sox played at the field of dreams field

I will NEVER forget the first time my dad took me and my brother to Milwaukee County Stadium in 1963 to see the Milwaukee Braves play the Cincinnati Reds. The first time i saw the Field, it was like heaven, just green and beautiful. Played all the different sports ( Football, Basketbal and Baseball) but, Baseball was always our first love. Our family taking evening drives to get ice cream cones and listen to Milwaukee Braves games on the car radio. Me and my brother playing hours of catch in the backyard, home run durby, 500....

I think your interpretation of the film is pretty good. I know you guys have become very fond of baseball, but I do think there might be something lost in translation compared to if you were American men. There's something about baseball that is just so intertwined with our history that feels very personal, even for some of us who don't watch as often as we could. I'm not even a Red Sox fan, but when I visited Boston last year I absolutely had to go to a game at Fenway. I took a tour of the park a couple of hours before the game and they let us walk down onto the field, just in the backstop area, and I swear there was a magical feeling to it. Hell, it was Fenway. Ray's issues with his dad were left vague, but there was a huge generation gap here during the '60s and there were many stories like theirs. Fathers and sons just didn't understand one another. I don't know if that era was quite the same for people there in the UK at that time or not. This movie is one that makes grown men here in the states absolutely sob. It's nostalgia. It's daddy issues. It's baseball. Next you should watch Bull Durham if you haven't seen it yet. One of the great romantic comedies of the '80s set with a minor league baseball team in what was once my home town of Durham, North Carolina. Absolute classic.

There is nothing like the smell of a good leather glove, the crack of a bat hitting a ball and the smell of freshly cut grass wafting through the air on a warm summer day.

Field of Dreams is a wonderful, whimsical fantasy movie. My interpretation is that everything was real and Terrance Mann is alive in the movie. The Field of Dreams movie site is in Dyersville, Iowa. They hold youth travel baseball tournaments there. It is also a tourist destination with a couple baseball museums in town. One about the movie and one owned by Dwier Brown, the actor who played John Kinsella, Ray's dad. So people are actually coming there for real. They also are building a major league stadium next door to hold MLB games. I traveled there from Michigan with my family for our son's travel baseball tournament last year. We rented the movie site for a team practice and it was magical. The players played catch with their parents and they even had a Ghost player come out. The house can be rented out too. It was so fun that we are going again this season.

Here’s another word for you; “Phantasmagorical”. - “They are a reality, whereas the guerrillas are only a dream”. -The Cambridge English Corpus. This is a classic. Makes grown men cry.

The English girl I was with for awhile loved baseball. She said that 'rounders' was still played by girls in the UK, and she understood most of the basic rules the first time I took her to an Atlanta Braves game.

I had to laugh when you saw he left the bats and balls out, that you hope there's no youths around to mess with them. I grew up about 45 minutes from this location and not only would that just never happen, you literally knew every person who lived within 20 square miles and everybody always looked out for everybody. I still appreciate the absolutely true aspect of what is known as "Iowa nice," except when you are at a stop sign and the person with the right-of-way waits for you instead of just getting out of the way.

Walking on that field, the grass feels like clouds under your feet.

I'm an atheist, have been since my early teens in the '70s, and as such, I don't believe in any of the spirit-realm and/or Heaven bullshit... But I cry every fucking time I see this movie! ...Even an edited reaction video on RU-vid has me balling like a little girl whose pet hamster just died! lol TBH, it might have something to do with not really getting to know my dad as well as I should have, before he passed. We were always supposed to go fishing, just me and him... we never got around to it.

Great reaction.. Lololol.. " My bag has more fries in it".... I LOVE IT...!!!

Field of Dreams was all about second chances. Everyone got their chance to do something again that they regretted once in their life, including Ray playing catch with his father. Shoeless Joe Jackson got to play again. Terrance Mann got to find peace and write again (yes he was probably already dead the whole time - lol). Moonlight Graham got to bat and wink at a major league pitcher. My favorite all time movie. I cry at the end every single time!

So glad you all finally reacted to this movie. I'll be 41 this year and played little league baseball for about 10 years when I was kid, back in the late 80s and 90s, and remember vividly all the days I spent with my dad playing catch in the front yard trying to get better. I still cry every time he asks his dad to have a catch at the end. That part hits home so well for me. Great reaction!

This movie still brings tears to my eyes. A true classic. Glad you gents got to see it.

I visited the Field of Dreams as a kid many times. Even as a fueld trip in school lol I found a baseball in the cornfield and "knew" it was from the movie. Obviously there are plenty of balls out there from all the games actually played there but it was so cool having that memory.

"Field of Dreams": "Shoeless Joe" Jackson: "Is this Heaven?" Ray Kinsella: "Yes, it's Iowa."

My personal favorite baseball movie, and probably my favorite sports movie. Such an iconic film with a beautiful message!

I cry my eyes out every time he plays catch with his Dad. I wish there really was a Field of Dreams and I could play with my Dad.

They built a stadium about 100 yards away from the Field of Dreams they used in the movie and played an MLB game in Aug 2021. It was a really cool moment.. Same teams played a game in Iowa and they entered the field through the cornfield from center field like they did in the movie. Pretty cool moment in history. Kevin Costner also played in another movie called, "Bull Durham" as a catcher which got really good reviews and was nominated for an Oscar for best original screen play. Funny enough he plays a pitcher in For Love of the Game.

The A's played in Philadelphia before moving to Kansas City in 1955 before settling in Oakland in 1968.

This movie gets me every time. It’s a movie that should remind you to cherish every day you have with the people you love. No theories needed. It’s a movie that defies logic. The soundtrack alone sounds very dreamlike.

Loved this movie as a kid, and even got to visit the actual place in Iowa back around 1991 which was amazing and it still exists today. The ending still to this day brings tears of happiness to my eyes.

My grandfather played on a minor league team in 1910-13. Then he became an architect after he returned fromWWI. He was a dour man when I knew him. But he loved baseball. He began teaching me the fine points when I was 3 or 4. And at 75, I still remember. He and my dad had a hard time getting on. He died in the early 60’s. My dad went to this movie and sobbed and sobbed in the last scene.

The most interesting part of this movie is that the field they used as the set for filming was left as a baseball field, and it operates as a tourist attraction for sightseeing around Iowa City still to this day. You can visit it.

I love how they made the old school uniforms for the players. Shoeless Joe is actually wearing the 1919 White Sox Jersey.

It all happened. It was magical. Terrence Mann was alive (and made the national news apparently) until he walked into the corn, and then who knows, there's no telling the future.

To show the impact this movie has had. That field is still there and Major League Baseball will occasionally play a game there. The last one was in 2022. I read some place that Ray Liotta never watched this movie.

I got a chance to go to Iowa and see the field last year. It was amazing! I saw a father and son in the middle of the field playing catch and I literally could not hold back the tears.

Terrance was alive, he did those interviews at the bar asking about Grahm. Even his dad listed him as missing in the papers. He died when he walked thru the cornfield, but he'll be back just like the ballplayers

Gents, the magic of movies. Honestly, one of the greatest films ever made. It harkens back to love, loss, grief, and words that cant be unsaid. It's an incredible film that has stood the test of time. Great reaction. Thank you.

Both my parents were from Massachusetts, I grew up in CT surrounded by everything Red Sox. From my father's first day of retirement to the day he died, he never went anywhere without his Red Sox hat on....I made sure it was buried with him. My sister and I played softball....played catch with our dad, and he was at every game. That was pretty much the only thing he involved himself with in our childhood. I was 10 when I went to Fenway the first time. Even to this day, I get goosebumps entering the park. I ended up going to college in Boston and went to Game 3 of the '86 World Series against the Mets... (Americans, insert your Bill Buckner Game 6 comments here). I remember quite well walking on the sidewalk where the big Shawmut sign is that you see when they leave the game. I love Boston....the best city.....wish I never left. And yes, I cry every time I watch this. Sidebar: We even have a Little League (ages 10-12) World Series.

If you know about Ty Cobb's reputation as....well.....not a nice person, you'll appreciate when Shoeless Joe is telling Ray about all the players who wanted to come play on Ray's field and he says "Ty Cobb wanted to play, but none of us could stand the son-of-a-bitch when we were alive, so we told him to stick it!" Cobb was one of the greatest hitters ever. His lifetime .367 average is still a record nearly 100 years after his retirement, and he was baseball's all time hits leader for 57 years until Pete Rose (ironically, another rule breaker, like Shoeless Joe) broke his record in 1985.

In theater release, pretty much every show let alone with a stream of weeping dudes.

As a San Diegan I feel your Padres pain. Just try rooting for them _and_ the Chargers. We're the city of almost'ers. 😂

Good poll winner, one of the classic American sports movies of all time

Sometimes you just have to ride the rollercoaster and not worry about how it's built! Great movie. Fun reaction.

I have been to the Dream Field. It was still there. The bleachers were the same, the farm was there, the corn was there. I ran the bases barefoot, I played catch with my father-in-law, and a rolled a ball back and forth with my son, who wasn’t a year old yet. It was one of the best experiences of my life. Sadly, the MLB built a stadium there for once a season “Dream” games. It was heaven, though.

I am 67 years old and every time I feel like that I need a good cry, I watch this movie or at least the last ten minutes...lol. For people like me that never did much with my dad this movie really hits home. I played baseball since I was 9 and lots of other sports after that but never once played catch with my dad or do much of anything wth him. I like to think of it like this...The baseball gods knew that Ray wasn't living his best life because of the issue with his dad that he never got to reconcile, so they (baseball gods) decided to step in and make things right. EASE HIS PAIN was to ease Ray's pain. It was all about Ray...If I can give you some advice from a loyal long time movie watcher....stop trying to figure movies out...just enjoy them. I used to do that and now I love moves even more by sitting back and getting drawn in to the movie...They will tell you what you need to know when you need to know...lol. Enjoy.

Lived close to Dyersville, Iowa,where they filmed the movie. That summer was a drought year, and I remember they had to spray paint the grass and corn green to make it look like a normal Iowa summer. Had close friends who drove their car to be part of the last scene. It still is heaven.

@13:18 re: the smell of a baseball. When I was a kid, I wasn't paying attention and someone threw a ball and hit me right in the eye. Gave me a black eye and a concussion. Now, whenever I get a concussion, I smell baseball leather.

Hello DN This movie in based on a real-life story. An Iowa farmer ACTUALLY build a baseball field on his land. Whether everything happened as in this film, it is hard to know for sure since we were not there at the time. They did make enough money to save the farm. They were at risk again to lose it because of Covid or farming shortages (I forget), but as far as I know, they still own it to this farm. So now analyze from the perspective of a real story / event. Somehow, maybe as Terence Mann said, it gave people a positive sense of nostalgia and inner understanding of what is truly important and to follow a dream ("Go the Distance") no matter how crazy / hard it is or may seem.

As a kid in Iowa when this came out we went to the actual field in Dyersville on vacation. The field is still there and very cool. "Is this Heaven? No, it's Iowa" was on bumperstickers at the time!

I see this as a movie about redemption, for Joe, for Terry (who had become jaded and world-weary and needed to find his purpose again), for Doc Graham, Ray’s father to an extent, and eventually for Ray himself.

Major League Baseball now holds a “Field of Dreams” game each year. This years game will be June 20th with the Giants facing the Cardinals at Rickwood Field. The oldest professional ballpark in the US. They do a great job with these games. Pretty magical.❤

James Earl Jones (also known for being the voice of Darth Vader) plays Terrence Mann in this movie. He also starred in The Sandlot as he was the owner of The Beast.....

Americans can relate to our cherished memories of the first time we played catch with our fathers. I was six and still remember it to this day. I'm 68 now and still it is one of my fondest memories.

One of the Neatest things is The Major Leagues embraced this and play a game there EVERY year. The first years game was the New York Yankees vs Chicago White Sox, ended with a Walk Off home fun in the bottom of the ninth.....

I used to watch movies as if I were a director and try to image how I would do the next scene…. This movie blew away in that it was way more magical than how I would have gone with the film. This movie is magical and the musical score, visuals, the story and the use of language all aided this. This movie is one of my top 5 of all time.

Of course it's all real. You just have to believe. One of my favorite sports movie. James Earl Jones as Terrance Mann. Burt Lancaster the great all time actor as moonlight. There is a serious movie about Shoeless Joe and the White Sox scandal called Eight Men Out. It's pretty good also. Football seems to have taken over this country but baseball is it's heart and soul.

When ever I watch this movie, two minutes into it there are tears in my eyes. And it has one of the most beautiful music sound tracks ever. Don't try to analyze it, just love it.

My thinking was that the field was heaven for the players. Kostner was the vehicle used to make the field come into being for them, including his own father.

Some of the best baseball films: "Angel's in the Outfueld"( 1951 and the remake in 1994), "Major League"(1989), "Bull Durham " (1988), "A League of their Own,"(1992), "Eight Men Out," (1988),"The Natural1984), "42"(2013),"Pride of the Yankees," (1942) "61*"(2001).

A baseball movie you have yet to watch that is fantastic is called 'The Natural' with Robert Redford.

"Field of Dreams" is the best example I know of magical realism, in which magical elements exist in a story set in the real world. Terence Mann was based on the writer J.D. Salinger, whose books include "Catcher in the Rye" and "Franny and Zooey." At some point he gave up writing and withdrew from public life, just like Mann. When Salinger threatened to sue when he learned they were planning to make him a character in the film, so they changed the character enough to avoid a lawsuit. I don't think Terence Mann was dead, or that he died in the end. He was going to see what was on the other side, and then come back and write about it. That may seem impossible, but so many things happen in this movie that are impossible. What's one more? If you want to react to another baseball movie, I recommend "Bull Durham." It also stars Kevin Costner, along with Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon. "A League of Their Own" is also very good. There's a movie called "Eight Men Out" about the Black Sox scandal, but I don't think it's as good as the others I've recommended.

The late, great James Horner's music score made this movie the magnificent tear jerker and classic it is. James Horner is responsible for making more people cry than any composer in history: Field of Dreams, Titanic, Braveheart, The Perfect Storm, Courage Under Fire, Deep Impact, Legends of the Fall, Glory, and Cocoon. He tragically died in a plane crash in 2015.

This movie is my constant reminder that I would do just about anything to have another catch with my dad. Thanks for the reaction! Eight Men Out is a pretty good movie about the Black Sox scandal too.

The team you recognized as the Oakland Athletics were actually the Philadelphia Athletics at the time Shoeless Joe played. They later moved to Kansas City and finally to Oakland. Of course, they're now going to move to Las Vegas.

If you get a chance to visit the field in Iowa in the summer, don’t pass it up. It’s quite special. I went a few years ago and loved how a couple dozen kids (who were strangers to each other) just formed a game without any adult guidance. No adult intervened. They just got to play the way I did when I was a kid. It’s a magical game to grow up playing.

The two greatest emotional endings of a movie... Rocky 2 and Field of Dreams.

“Ease his pain” Me: ? …..I guess I’ll get some icepacks ?

This movie hits hard for those who have lost their dad's. Especially if you had a complicated relationship with him. Now you have to watch Bull Durham, also starring Kevin Costner. It's another baseball classic, albeit a completely different kind of movie. You'll love it.

The beauty of Kevin Costner is he played ball in college and has a beautiful swing. He looks like a slugger who hits for batting average and would be a career .300 hitter.

Yes, the little girl was eating a hot dog earlier in the scene. "Doc" Graham was played by Burt Lancaster, in his final film appearance. And of course James Earl Jones, Terrance Mann, was the voice of Darth Vader in the Star Wars movies. He also had a part in another baseball movie called "The Sandlot", which is mostly about some kids, it's good. The farm where the movie was filmed has been preserved, plus another, more permanent, baseball field was installed by Major League Baseball across the way, and every year for the last three or four years two MLB teams play a regular season game at the field. Special uniforms, and a corn crop in the outfield. The teams change, but the field remains the same.
