This off-season, while we wait for some action from the front office, let’s remove a bit of the baseball doldrums by talking about some of the many baseball movies out there. I’ve been reviewing movies for a few years now for my friends and thought this could be fun, so come along with me and discuss baseball on the silver screen.
First up, I watched For Love of the Game (1999).
The plot: Kevin Costner film in which he plays aging Detroit franchise pitcher Billy Chapel. Chapel is struggling with his personal life, his desire to keep playing the game, a meddling franchise owner, and other drama as he makes his final start of the season, an away game against a likely playoff-bound stellar Yankees squad.
