My son was chosen to play on the best of the best all star team..The team was a mixture from different district and towns..His team was invited to play against the all star team of Williamsport..He played on the actual field where little league started..Not the field on T.V. nor with cameras or a big crowd, but to us the parents, we understand the significance of that ballpark..They played a doubleheader winning both game, having a homer in each..Next to his numerous game balls and a trophy or two is a sod of grass so he always remembers that special place...I'm quite proud of him..

I remember watching this movie in 2006, and I feel in love and man im still in love with this movie.

Every movie that I have seen Harry Connick Jr in is wonderful. This is surely no exception.

My grandmother was in this movie in the stands!!! I haven't seen this in years 😢 such a wholesome movie.

Started watching this because Grisham wrote the screen play. Finished watching it because the casting, acting, and message were superb. Don't miss this one.

So I was an extra in this movie!!! John Grisham owns the ballpark I used to play softball at. And he owns the rights to this movie as it was based on one of books. When they made the film he wanted to film some of the scenes at the ballpark and have all the teams, players, families, coaches and staff. I have not seen the movie yet, in all these years I know, but I have a newspaper clipping and I remember being there. Eating free dipping dots, the film crew etc.

When he bothers. He's been a lazy ass the last decade or so as far as his books go.

What a great movie! I loved it! Anytime you see a movie by John Grisham, watch it because it's food for the soul! John's writings are art at its finest in contemporary fiction and film and the casting and directing here were right on and Harry Connick, Jr., well. what's not to love about him? There is something in this film for everyone baseball fan or not. It's about courage to face up to our mistakes, take the consequences and move on and that is real and it's life, pass it on...

Cute movie...The games should have been played in Nebraska..They grow a lot of corn in Nebraska :)

Great movie Mr. Grisham. I really felt for the catcher. I was a catcher during those years. We had a 3rd baseman with a throwing arm to first base like a rifle shot. He was also the relief pitcher. I carried a sponge in my pocket in case he was called up. I put the sponge in my catcher's mitt to protect my hand.

I caught my neighbor and best friend in high school. He was the Junior and Varsity pitcher for our team. I wasn't on the team. But they allowed me for a while to catch him. He wanted me to catch him more than anyone. I wasn't going to play because I had a more important thing on my mind. I was simply waiting to turn 17 so I could join the Army and go kill the mfr's that had killed my older brother 5 years earlier in Vietnam!!! The pitcher I was catching for was good. He ended up getting a chance with the St Louis farm club.

This is such a great 👍 movie 🎥 in so many ways!! A suspenseful sports movie with some legal drama with the personal father/son relationship element and the difficulties of losing a spouse and mother: John Grisham, one of my favorite authors, always writes with a purpose. Many lessons to be learned in this film! Well done in every way!! 😊

What a movie. Watch it, you won't regret it. Plus it's Grisham's story and screenplay.

I love this! Wish they would do a movie about his kid lawyer character.

Very cool movie. John Grisham is one of the great writers of our time

one of the greatest baseball movies of all time

Great movie that teaches a lot of valuable lifes lessons. The bond and love between dad and son was truly beautiful. Made me remember my son pitching and all those days we spent as a family at the fields. My son is now 35 and still loves baseball.

The most important thing I got from this movie is that I despise the IRS and the Federal Government even more .

John Grisham knows sports. Best contemporary fiction writer of our tlme. Great movie about baseball and redemption,

Ummmm...what? I like Grisham but outside of legal profession, I don't see his expertise in sports. Half his catalog is "The ____(insert random word from blacks legal dictionary)___". The client. Runaway jury, rainmaker, ... I actually never heard of this movie but am interested. I played little league, so all this talk about hitting 60 mph brought back memories.

I decided to watch this because this is my game, since grade school till college. I miss this game and at 55 yrs old i still want to be part of this sport.

Nice movie. I was not expecting to like it as much as I did.

I was there in Williamsport. Met Grisham. Got to be an extra. It is only now I'm seeing the movie. I was a late life college student at the time. Wanted to see what a film set looked like. Have some images I took. Amazing experience. Drove there 3 weekends.

A superb movie that entertains and educates us on the importance of valuing and living by truth and honesty without which would end in disasters as evidence by this dad & son. Luckily the dad owned up to his mistakes and made the change but had to pay a heavy price though.

There is a reason why that Griff kid was Captain!!!! What a great team Mick had playing behind him!!!

Watched this movie 15 yrs ago, became my favorite movie, havent seen it in 10+ yrs. Just found it in a movie store and it still gives me the feeling it did 15 yrs ago, absolutely love it.

I have watched shows with a totally unrealistic ending. You know what I am saying. The guy gets the girl, comes into unexpected riches or makes it through a hard time because of his friends. This one was real. A lot of great times but reality shows through. Loved it!

Best movie ever

I don't know what too say? Honestly till I was just browsing earlier this evening, and I caught the title of this film. I had no prior knowledge of it. A great film I thought, and a tough situation in the plot. Is the story a true one?, or is it fictional? Which ever is not important as far as the ending is what matters. Cheating in anyway is not comendable in any form what so ever. IT takes the glory, and satisfaction away from the Victory, the Winner, or Winner's, have achieved. The cast was exceptional, the portrayal of the characters, was very believable. I truly thought it was a true story brought too the screen that I had no prior knowledge of. Alas as I said I really enjoyed it, and felt good at the outcome. Last thing is everything of John Grishmans I have read, or scene, I have been totally impressed with. Thank you for Airing this film Mickey. Wyo, Robert, 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸👍👍⚾⚾👍👍❤️❤️
