LOVED IT!| THE ROOKIE (2002) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION 

Dennis Quaid is not the guy from Field of Dreams, that was Kevin Costner.

"The Natural" with Robert Redford and Robert Duvall is one of my all time favorite baseball movies.

"For Love of the Game" starring Kevin Costner and "The Natural" starring Robert Redford. Classics.

Kevin Costner was lead in Field of Dreams

This feels like the most aimed at adults G rated movie I've ever seen. Secondhand Lions is another movie that definitely plays different when you get older but a true classic.

Similar to Jim Morris' wife pushing him to remain in baseball, when Nolan Ryan was with the NY Mets at the beginning of his career, he was not doing well and thought about quitting, his wife, Ruth, talked him into staying with baseball. When he retired after 26 years, he held 51 records.

This was one of my absolute favorites, Dennis Quaid always delivers.

I think y’all will love “McFarland, USA” and “Miracle”. Both are true stories… one an Olympic greatness with Kurt Russell and the other a cross country movie with Kevin Costner. I’d bet you both LOVE them both. Hope all is well.

oMg --- THE SANDLOT is A MUST SEE "baseball" movie. Absolutely.

Bull durham(1988) Kevin Costner

Hi guys. Jim played his 1st game at 35 yrs old. Dennis was not in Field of Dreams. The real life Jim Morris actually has a cameo in the movie. He is in the credits as Tampa umpire #2.

One of my favorite movies, no matter how many times I watch it, it never gets old. Invincible is another one. Two more I never get tired of are “Secretariat” with Diane Lane and “The Blind Side” with Sandra Bullock. Both true stories. In case you haven’t seen them, they are awesome. Oh, and also “Radio” with Cuba Gooding Jr, and “Remember the Titans” with Denzel Washington - great movies also. Another very interesting true baseball movie is “61*” with Barry Pepper. I enjoyed watching this one with ya. ❤

I am a baseball player in this movie gets me every time thanks for showing this movie nobody else has

"The Natural" A great baseball movie about redemption.

Another sports film with Dennis Quaid is Breaking Away. It combines coming of age themes with bicycle racing, and was his fifth screen appearance.

For Love of the Game is a highly underrated baseball flick.

BTW, the hair is to keep the deer away with a human smell. My family used to put hair from the barber shop into old panty hose and hang in the trees around the pea field. 😀

I remember him pitching pretty well. Back then throwing 98 was nowhere near as common as it is now, so there's no way he wasn't going to get brought up to the bigs. But truly the definition of 'flash in the pan'. Once guys caught up to his stuff, he didn't have any other go-to pitches. A real life "Natural"

"An Officer And A Gentleman."

As a Texas high school coach's kid, this movie hits a lot of soft spots for me. I love that we got to see your first time reaction to it. Im shocked that you hadn't seen it before!

Dennis Quaid was in the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" you guys just watched it a few weeks ago, Kevin Costner was in Field of Dreams... ❤✌🎸🎶

Beth Grant, who plays Jimmy’s mom, is one of my favorite character actresses. She always draws my eye when she’s on screen, even in small roles.

This movie tugs at my heart strings. I love stories about second chances, and there's something compelling about a humble, caring parent wanting to get their family ahead.

Bang The Drum Slowly with Robert DeNiro a baseball movie no one ever heard of I bet! Excellent fun movie

Another baseball movie with rookie in the title is "Rookie of the Year" with John Candy. It's very funny and heartwarming.

The actor playing his father is Brian Cox. He was the uncle in Braveheart and also the original Hannibal Lecter in the movie Manhunter.

I’m an Army Brat moved every year-2 years plus I’m a Army Veteran served 14yrs

In real life the Owls said why they improved so much was because of the batting practice against their coach.

Not a sports movie but just saw the news that Dabney Coleman has passed away at age 92 (RIP) and thought I'd recommend you guys check out "Nine To Five" the movie he starred in with Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin. It's a wonderful comedy I know you guys would love!

Being a Clearwater, FL resident and a converted Rays fan, I can turn my office chair around and see an autographed picture of Jim Morris.

Jimmy was 35 at this point of his iife, in 1999 Like that Devil Ray scout said at the tryout, he was there when Jimmy was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the early 80s; he signed but never took off because of the arm injuries he suffered He tried and failed to move up in the minors for a couple of teams in the late 80s After being released for the second time, no one else signed Jimmy, so he called it quits It's a funny thing how your past catches up to you in a GOOD way

As others have mentioned, 'The Natural' is a great sports movie. 'Any Given Sunday' is also very enjoyable. 'Million Dollar Baby' will bring a tear to your eye. And slightly off-beat, mainly a character comedy about amateur cycling, 'Breaking Away'.

Dennis Quaid has been in tons of movies, but since you have kiddos you probably know him best from The Parent Trap, he's the dad. I hope you get a chance to watch "Frequency" with Dennis Quaid and Jim Caviezel. You'll love it!

My favorite sport movie is (The Greatest Game Ever Played ) I'm not a golf guy but this movie is great, a true story too. Not just about the game but about the division of class, working hard in life, and the relationship of family

Guys, come on!!!!!! This is a great movie, but everybody is missing out on the greatest sports movie ever made. If you haven't seen "Miracle", it's an absolute must. It's a true story and brought this country together like a select few events in time have.

I love this movie - 'you know what we get to do today, we get to play baseball.' Such a sweet story. May I please add that hardly anyone has reacted to Waking Ned Devine - such a sweet hilarious fun movie full of great music. Maybe you could add this to your list. I just know you'll love it.

Baseball by Ken Burns, a PBS multi-episode documentary is a GREAT documentary on…baseball, it’s history. The original was nine “innings” and went from conception to 1994. Several years later Ken Burns revisited Baseball and created “Extra Innings” that talks about PEDs, how baseball came back from the brink with McGwire and Sosa and how Latin America has made an impact on MLB. Great documentary.

42 is a great baseball movie with Chadwick Boseman regarding Jackie Robinson

The man that said “ you just threw 98mph “ is the real life a Jimmy Morris

My son was in the boyscouts. One night after the game at Tropicana field. It was boyscout night. We got are sleeping bags and sleep on the field. And watch the rookie on the the big screen.

The reason for spreading human hair is the smell. Wild animals will avoid the smell and not cross into the field where the grass is growing.

His Dad gave him the best advice a father could give: "It's ok to do what you want to do in life, until the time comes to do what you were meant to do." He basically told him that he was meant to be a Major-League pitcher and to go for it. I've told my own daughter this and tell people that it's my mantra as I found it to be true in my life as well...excelling at a job I never thought I would even enjoy or could do.

Best baseball movies 1. Moneyball 2. Major League 3. Eight men out ( the story of 1919 white Sox, shoeless joe Jackson's team)

I think "McFarland, USA" would be a great movie for both you guys

How can people not like sports, or sports movies, or any of this stuff. Epic human moments happen all the time. Great film.

Great sports movies: Bull Durham (baseball) Slap Shot (hockey) Seabiscuit (horse racing) Major League (baseball) We Are Marshall (football) Miracle (hockey) Secretariat (horse racing) Remember the Titans (football)

For J's Saturday nights, all in black and white: "The Babe Ruth Story" (1948), "The Pride of the Yankees" (1942, Lou Gehrig story), "The Pride of St. Louis" (1952, Dizzy Dean story), "The Jackie Robinson story (1950), "The Stratton Story" (1949, Monty Stratton story), "The Winning Team" (1952, Grover Cleveland Alexander story).

The hair on the field wasn’t so deer “wouldn’t get hair in their mouth”! Lol. It was so the sent of humans would scare off the deer. It was about the smell! I doubt deer care if they get hair in their mouths as long as they’re eating seeds too! Lol.

Would "PRIDE OF THE YANKEES" The story of Lou Gehrig be a baseball movie or a love story ??MMMMMM??😍😍😍😍

Excellent! Almost nobody even knows this movie, let alone reacts to it on YT...so happy to see such a good vibes channel react to this good vibes movie. It is one of my favorite sports movies, so I hope these guys absolutely love it.

Dennis Quaid was not in Field of Dreams. Kevin Costner was. Dennis Quaid was in The remake of the Parent Trap. Also "The Day after Tomorrow" "Wyatt Earp" "Innerspace"

I was an extra in this movie and Serving Sara

Have you seen “The Natural” ….another great baseball movie with Robert Redford

To me one of the best baseball films was Bull Durham with Kevin Costner, Tim Robins, and Susan Sarandon. It is so funny.

One of my favorite sport movies. There are so many true stories that Hollywood could never write better. Sport movies are the best way to bring out the best of people. I can relate to this. I`ve coached almost 30 years and now in my 60`s, those times were and still are the greatest. When he watched that Little League game and saw the boy outfielder, I felt what he felt.

As a lefty baseball player, this movie was my childhood

I coached a little league team in Plano many years ago when this came out. Jim Morris (or his kids were) was a pediatric customer of one of our dads. He gave him a break on some dental work for him to come out to one of our practices and speak to the kids. I think the parents were more in awe.

One of my favorites! Great reaction. as usual guys!

This is one of my favorite baseball movies, if not my absolute favorite I first saw it in the theater on spring break in Florida with my dad, who took me to see it, along with my uncle and brother I was 7 at the time, about to turn 8 the next month at that point, so I was just getting old enough to recognize what went on in the game of baseball and started to follow my team, the Atlanta Braves

My wife grew up on the TX/NM border, literally. She graduated from Texico High, NM, and moved three blocks away to Farwell, TX. It was less than an hour from where my dad was born & raised (Morton/Levelland) before he moved to Ohio to work the orchards with his family as a teenager. I love this movie, because of the message of never giving up on a dream, the nostalgia for small town USA, and the great actors in it. “For the Love of the Game” is another great baseball movie, staring Keven Costner. And I think you’d love “Innerspace” if you loved Dennis Quaid in this one.

I'm happy this is up! 😁 I rank this movie up with field of dreams as the best baseball movies, along with the best inspirational movies in general Moral is you're never too late to see dreams come true

Jim Morris cameos in the movie as "Orlando Umpire #2

I loved this movie when it came out. Such an amazing story and Dennis Quaid is such an amazing actor

The year Jimmy Morris started pitching to the players during practice , the players said later in life that during the games they played in , when the opposition pitcher threw the ball it was like they were seeing a basketball and not a baseball

The Sandlot, Angels in the outfield two baseball classics...

A truly wholesome film that's been sort of lost to time is Mr. Holland's Opus. It was well received by audiences back in the 90s.

"trouble with the curve" is pretty good baseball film...and "major leaugue " fun

I had forgotten how much I love this movie/story. I loved seeing you react to this and love it as much as me. ❤

The one thing I love about this movie is how it shows a huge thing can come out of absolutely nothing That piece of land that the nuns bought in faith of that unknown man's belief of oil had the biggest strike of it that part of Texas ever saw (according to the story) and it all was born at the site of a DIY baseball field in the middle of that giant acreage and the players had their own faith that they'd leave that "sandlot" oil field and go on to bigger goals and feel like kings The "middle of nowhere" cliche was given a facelift in this story and it challenges the notion of an insignificant person or object being of no value (also probably Hollywood spicing things up) but still a worthwhile idea to think about And seeing that allegory play out in Jimmy's journey to "bless the town of Big Lake one more time" is a nice touch

rookie of the yr is another good classic film

Love your channels. Another good movie with Dennis Quade is Frequency. It’s one of the few movies that made my Dad and I cry. Maybe a good movie for Father’s Day. All the best take care

If you want to see Costner as Wyatt Earp and Quaid, as doc Holliday, their movie came out the same year AsTombstone. I don’t know how well it did in comparison. It had enjoyable parts, but Costner’s Earp seem to be A much more cold version and Quaid was a great Doc Holliday(Who was always the more entertaining anyway) down to his physical changes which were stunning! (Tough but I still love Val Kilmer!). You can also see Quaid in a Great movie “The Right Stuff” About early NASA.

This movie is based on a true story about a man named Jim Morris who debuted in Major League Baseball at the age of 35.

It's common for people to spread out human hair to keep deer away from eating their plants and bushes. It's the smell that deters them, not that they get the hair in their mouths.

Dennis Quaid is such a phenomenal actor along with everyone who is in this movie.. this one definitely hit me deeply…. The love theyvall have for each other

When this came out in the movie theaters back in the day, my 4 young kids took me out on Father's Day to see it together as a family -- needless to say, it's still a great memory that continues to brought up to this day, for them and me both! This film does such a great job of portraying Jimmy Morrison's balance between his baseball dream and the love for his family (and really, fatherhood in general). It really is endearing. Oh Amber, my grown kids even still love the soundtrack (since you mentioned the movie's music); they gave that to me as a gift some time later after the dvd was released.

Jimmy's first batter he faced in the majors was struck out on four pitches in real life, instead of three A foul ball was hit in that sequence but to save time in filming the movie, the director just went with 3 simple strikes That game was actually played on my mom's birthday, September 18, so a really nice connection there and we'd just moved into our new house on Labor Day weekend so I remember exactly where I was at the time this happened, even though I never knew it DID happen lol

The natural?

This looks like way out west Texas, but it was actually filmed in and around Taylor, Texas, which is east of Austin (where I was living and working at the time.) Even though Dennis Quaid's natural surliness is evident in virtually every role I've seen him in, it's still fun to watch the movie because of the location. Aside from knowing people who worked as extras, my association with the film was spending an entire day at a railroad crossing waiting for a train to go by so they had a shot of that car towing the U-haul waiting on the train to pass. The scene didn't make it into the final cut. As for baseball in Texas, it IS a thing, so this is one instance where the film takes liberties with reality. I would be really really surprised to know there was ANY high school in Texas that didn't have a baseball team. I played high school baseball (in the 70's) and there were only four boys in my graduating class (though the other classes were slightly larger). In schools that are too small to have a football team, Basketball is the big thing. Also, the traffic radar won't pick up the baseball. More movie fiction.

"The Natural" is the best baseball movie ever made. Phenomenal!

The scene with the nuns and the flowers was filmed on my uncles ranch in big lake, TX. When I was a kid I always thought this guy was kin to me because of our names. He's not just coincidence, always makes me laugh thinking about it tho. 3rd favorite baseball movie of all time.

You guys are not wrong about us Texans and our sports, I’ve lived in Houston when Oilers sold to Tennessee and got to help host the Texans first 2 season Home games as part of my JROTC years, and saw many Astro home games as well. And now currently in Lubbock where we have Texas Tech and UT rivals and as well as LCU and Midland baseball as huge sporting attractions here. So much fun to watch these games and the town spirits come to life! lol

Slap Shot should be your next sports movie. Hysterical look at professional hockey back in the 70s. The clothes and music are awesome. The great paul Newman stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

One of my favorite baseball movies.. The Natural is definitely a great baseball flick to check out..

This movie soundtrack album is one of my favorite albums. Some great songs here.

This movie was written by eastern Oregon native Mike Rich. I highly recommend his first movie also, especially since you guys are educators , "Finding Forrester".

61* (2001). A great baseball movie, that got limited exposure at the time, because it was an HBO exclusive. Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle race to break Babe Ruth's single-season home run record.

Such a heartwarming story. Brings a smile, a tear and a lot of joy. Love Dennis Quaid he has some great films. Thanx so much, Peace

Hey guys! You still have another Star Wars movie to watch; it’s called Solo. It tells the story of young Han Solo. Also, you still have Rocky V (1990) and Rocky Balboa (2006). Then, there are the three Creed movies.

You just saw Dennis Quaid recently in The Day After Tomorrow.

Another movie with Dennis Quaid that I think you guys would love is "Frequency"! Definitely one to think about checking out.

I'll bet you haven't seen The Fish that Saved Pittsburgh. It stars the man who every kid wanted to be before they ever heard of Michael Jordan...the legendary Julius (Dr J) Irving. He was my top basketball hero growing up and he revolutionized the sport of basketball with dynamic moves that had never been see before. It's a comedy movie, but also has some fun basketball action in it.

Back in the day we called that seat a banana seat and the handlebars risers.

So glad you guys did this movie. The real Jim Morrison after he got hurt in the minors went back to school at San Angelo State and played football and got his teaching degree. The part that tears me up everytime is when he tells his boy he made it. Being athletes and teachers I knew this movie was perfect for you.

MIRACLE....IS A MUST! 😊

It's cool how Disney was able get the jerseys of the real life players that were part of the Devil Rays at the time on camera, like Fred McGriff (who was part of the Braves in their 90s dynasty), Wade Boggs and Jose Canseco

You’ve seen Kevin Costner in the second of his amazing baseball trilogy. You need to catch up with him in Bull Durham (earliest) and also For Love of the Game (last). Excellent movies both!

Jim Morris is currently an inspirational speaker; followed his dream AND attained it!! He walked the walk😉 Keep smiling❣️😊

I watch movies with you guys that never would have watched on my own.I love it .

This is based on a true story as it said in the beginning. Jimmy Morris played in the majors for 2 seasons, being brought up to the majors at 35. That is the age when most players only have about 4 or 5 years left before retirement. Morris actually has a cameo in this movie as "Orlando Umpire #2".
