Goofs:
Factual errors: In the 'newsreel' after the World Series game, the voice-over says that the Yankees scored seven runs in that inning, and that Babe Ruth drove in four. This is impossible because of simple math. Babe Ruth led off the inning with a strikeout - one out. The next batter also goes down - two outs. The kid (third batter of the inning) then gets an in-the-park home run - one run in and still two outs. Then let's assume that batters #4, 5, and 6 get singles without scoring. Every consecutive batter who follows must then drive in a run (no more outs to give). So if batters #7, 8, and 9 each drive in a run, the Yankees have already scored four runs in the inning by the time Ruth comes back up to bat. If he drives in four more, the Yankees will have scored eight in the inning, not seven as announced. more

What a nice surprise, 21 March 2007
Author: your_moms_bf from Seatle

It is Wednesday night, and I was bored. So I went to the store to see if I can rent a new release to watch. Everything was rented out except for this film. I heard about the "talking baseball and bat", and so I figured this film would be good for a couple of amused chuckles. Boy, was I in for a pleasant surprise. Nice story, I like it. Though perhaps nothing in this film is groundbreaking, it is still quite a treat.

Wow, I didn't know both Christopher and Dana Reeve were involved in this film. This is such a good film. If you are a kid at heart, even if you do not have any interest in baseball, you are going to like this film. It is fun, funny, and emotionally uplifting. If you are or were that kid who were made fun of or picked on, you'd probably like this film too. This is a true triumph-of-the-human-spirit story.

It is a good film for the whole family to enjoy.
