![A Day To Remember: Feedback [OFFICIAL VIDEO]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/iXVnysmQ4e0/mqdefault.jpg)
Cassie, If you ever see this, you made my daughter's night saying her "Cassie could find a love story in a documentary about hammers" comment was the best.. So, from Berea and myself, THANK YOU
Hahahahha great comment.
Don't knock the star-crossed lovers that are the hammer and the anvil.
Don't forget the story of Phillip the Screwdriver!
RIP Vin Skully. He makes this movie to be so much more than it really was. Vin's mastery of the cadence to build drama and provide simple poetry to the movie is unmatched.
Also, I am glad that you ladies were the first ones to react to this movie on RUclips. Such an underrated gem.
Yeah, Vin Scully really made this movie.
Would have been better with Ernie Harwell seeing as it's the Tigers, but Vin was the next best thing.
Just like Bob Uecker was the perfect choice for Major League. Neither movie would be the same without them.
Dudes, I like Vin Skully but I wasn't watching a movie to hear his announcement of it. LOL.
I miss Vin so much. Grew up with Vin and glad he was in this movie! Kevin Costner did an amazing speech when Vin retired from broadcasting.
There are so many things to love about this movie.
1. Vin Scully
2. Actual MLB Licensing
3. Costner played some college ball and it shows
4. The extras can actually play baseball
5. The music is top tier
Isn't it great when e1 can actually play??? I swear I'd have liked "The Babe" so much more if John Goodman's popouts to shallow center weren't magically going 600 feet. This, Major League, and Bull Durham all so much better because of the realism.
I worked for the Albuquerque Isotopes in the summer of 2004. Several of their players played Yankees in the movie. Chris Ashby played the Yankees catcher.
*Felt like a romance with a side of baseball.*
@@hulkhatepunybanner I was always under the assumption that baseball and romance were synonymous
@@hulkhatepunybannerSee: Bull 🐂 Durham. BTW love the handle!!
I love J.K. Simmons in this movie. That line about getting out of that neighborhood before they get their butts kicked twice in one day never fails to make me laugh.
Such a great character actor.
Definitely one of the best out there. I literally like him in every role.
I think this was the first Sam Raimi movie he appeared in. He later became a regular in Raimi's films, most famously as J Jonah Jameson in the Spider-Man trilogy.
He was absolutely insane in Whiplash. As someone who played in a college jazz band he scared the hell out of me in that movie.
The ball bouncing off that guy's head and being a homerun actually happened IRL to Jose Canseco. One of the all-time great bloopers in sports history.
And somewhat controversial since the rule at the time specifically stated that a HR is a fly ball over the fence in fair territory that doesn't touch the ground OR "isn't touched by an opposing player". Unless you're claiming the head isn't part of the body, that should've just been a ground rule double. The rule has since been updated to match the Canseco ruling though. Now it specifically states a head bounce is a HR.
I did not know that. Great information. 👍👍
Jose Canseco become one of Baseballs greatest bloopers.
@@stephenpmurphy591 Canseco would've hit 500 homeruns if he wasn't blackballed from baseball after his tell-all book.
@@Jekyll_Island_Creatures And many likely 500 feet.
I completely forgot Kelly passed til it was mentioned. She was the definition of a "natural beauty."
She was my crush since i saw her in Christine. She was a very gorgeous natural woman. May She rest in Peace.
Kelly was my first celebrity crush. Will never forget her in the movie Space Camp. I was 10 when that came out and thought she was an angel.
She was at her peak here. Thought her career was finally gong to really take off, but it didn't.
@@nealm6764 The movie wasn`t popular i think that`s why her career didn`t took off.
@jack prescott Oh yeah I forgot she was in Christine! 💯
Most accurate part of movie was the fan at the bar. They nailed the Yankee fan. He is exactly like the large majority of their fans
I am a 47 year old guy, former pro prospect, and this movie makes me cry every time!!!!!! My favorite movie ever great reaction!!!
The shot of the heavyset "die hard NY Fan" (not the guy in the suit - we dont really see him in this edit) giving the nod to him and saying Good Job Chapel- man as a Boston fan it hits me in the feels. its like when I was watching the Cubs win a World Series - its 6 seconds of film but it adds so much to what it is to be a true base ball fan . . . to love . . for the love of the game :)
Baseball is a culture unto itself
A lifelong Yankees fan, I travel to Boston a lot on business. Whenever I go, I pack my long-sleeved Yankees t-shirt and I wear it when I'm out and about. Naturally, it starts some good-natured teasing but it has also sparked some really sincere conversations about baseball and you won't find better fans than Red Sox fans. The scene with the Yankee fan in this movie is spot-on.
Vin Scully was to this movie what Bob Uecker was to Major League. Both were the PERFECT CHOICE that made 2 awesome movies even better.
He's hitting just a little over .900 again Vaughn for the season.
"Justttttt a bit outside, tried the corner and missed." 😂😂😂
Kevin Costner and I went to Cal State Fullerton. Fullerton is known for their exceptional Baseball program. The school actually named Their home field after Costner, for a few seasons
"The Cathedral that is Yankee stadium tonight belongs to a Chapel" .... Best line in the movie
Costner just knows how to do a good sports movie wrapped in a good story, we have always enjoyed this one and I'm sure you both will :) RIP Vin!
Suspense? Kevin Costner? Gotta watch No Way Out.
x1000 One of my favorite Costner movies. No Way Out is such a great Thriller.
As a 51 year old with 20 seasons pitching baseball, many years behind me, this is the bar that all baseball movies are measured against.
It is perfect, but possibly only appreciated by those that have lived life and have had to let go of something that is so character defining. When you stand on the mound, everything else fades away, and it becomes almost spiritual. The way to game is shown here is the closest to the real thing i've seen.
@42:22 When he sits alone on the hotel bed after the game and cries, that is beyond perfect and absolutely the truest moment of the film. Its a moment that all men have when the task is complete and they have to let go, but its never seen or accepted in society. I love that it is portrayed so well.
Kevin has made a lot of baseball movies, but this it the top shelf movie of the group
I cried like that when I retired, and two months later they announced that the power station I retired from was going to be decommissioned and torn down. I felt like I had somehow caused the devastating shutdown by retiring. It took a few years to get past it.
A very underrated movie. It combined romance and baseball in the best possible way. One thing that especially impressed me was a pitcher locking out the outside world. With a good catcher, you see the mitt, you hit the mitt, and everything will be OK. Everything else is an intrusion
"Goosebumps on your toes." Another great Cassie'ism.
So happy you had Carly with you for this reaction. It was great you absolutely LOVED this movie. Vin Scully as one of the announcers really adds so much to the movie. His line at the end is iconic imho. “The Cathedral that is Yankee Stadium belongs to a Chapel”. Edit: I honestly think the next sports movie reaction you do is Miracle. It’s about the 1980 US Olympic Hockey team and to avoid spoilers that’s where I’ll stop.
Best line in the movie: "The cathedral that is Yankee Stadium belongs to a Chapel."
Vin Scully makes this movie for me. I used to watch about 50 Dodgers games a year before Vin Scully retired. Since then, I can barely make it through the 3rd inning before getting distracted by the need to do laundry, make tomorrow's lunch, or some other routine task. Turns out I hadn't really been a Dodgers fan for thirty years, but a Vin Scully fan.
Years ago, I saw a behind the scenes on the making of this movie and what I remember was how much of a soldier Kevin Costner was. A professional pitcher will have a few days off between games they pitch, but Costner was filming this night after night. He would soak in an ice bath and then come out to see the dailies. And then come back the next night to do it all over again. It would have been brutal for a younger person but he seemed to stay cheerful and keep morale up.
FYI Cassie: the daughter in this was played by Jena Malone, who you might remember as Johanna Mason in the Hunger Games films. This and “Stepmom” were two of her earliest films.
Beat me to it
What really made this movie touch a nerve for me was I was deployed at the time. Honestly not many of us appreciated a love story while deployed... but then a few weeks later Randy Johnson actually did, for the first time in decades, what was portrayed in the movie. It didn't dawn on a lot of the guys, but it sure hit me good.
On your questions/comments about baseball, foul balls count as strikes until there are two strikes. A foul ball doesn't count as a third strike, unless it is on a bunt. Once there are two strikes, a player can foul off 20 pitches or more in a row, and they just keep going. And for your comment on the Yankees fan. Back when this movie was made, that's how all of us felt about Yankees fans. They had so much more money than just about any other team that they could just buy the best players all the time. So they were always in the playoffs, and their fans came off as the most self-entitled jerks you could ever meet. So everyone who wasn't a Yankees fan, hated Yankees fans. On the other hand, you did get to see at the end of the movie the crowd applauding the perfect game. That is one thing you almost universally see when a perfect game is thrown. No matter which stadium it's in, and which team they pitch for, fan will usually give a standing ovation to the pitcher who throws one. They're just so rare, people are happy to be able to say they were there. In the over 140 years of Major League Baseball, only 23 perfect games have been thrown.
For months, I have been telling my friend about your channel. He just did not understand why I love watching people react to videos. Then he finally got it... It's like reliving watching the movies for the first time though someone else's eyes. This movie reaction was the perfect reflection of that. BY FAR... this is the best reaction video EVER. I watched you guys watch the WHOLE reaction on Patron, and I cried, Then, watching this condensed version, I cried AGAIN! I loved when Cassie said "I LOVE MOVIES!" Thank you both for this channel. It makes my very very happy. Sometimes, as a semi-old man, I can get cynical about entertainment today, but you guys bring back the magic about watching great movies for the first time. To continue your Kevin Costner "sports movies" may I suggest "Draft Day". I think it captures the magic of this movie, and has an amazing love story with Jennifer Garner. Again... thanks again. You are making a lot of lives better. Much love to you both and your family. PROUD Patreon member!
I don't know a single person in real life who's seen this movie, and I never expected a RUclipsr to react to it - I'm so happy!
It's funny cause in this movie Kevin says to himself "Think Billy, don't just throw" and in Bull Durham he tells Crash Davis "Don't think, just throw."
Cassie and Carly, it makes my heart happy knowing there are earnest, kind, compassionate and empathetic people like you in this world.
I'm a huge fan of this film. I remember coming home one afternoon and my father was watching this movie and just bawling. This film finds a brilliant balance between the sports and story. Phenomenal.
Such an amazing film, with such great details.
Those clips at the beginning of little Billy Chapel? That was Kevin Costner’s own home movies of him and his dad when he was a boy.
During filming, when he was already over 40 years old at the time, Costner threw 200 to 300 pitches a day for 18 days. (Pro players rarely throw more than 100 pitches, with 4-5 days rest in-between.) The pain was causing him to vomit, such that the actual trainer for the Yankees was brought in to keep Costner going without injuring himself. Apparently there was a lot of medication involved.
Some of the best inside information I've ever heard. Thank you!!!
This might be my all time favorite baseball movie. It not only has the typical baseball, but it just shows the majesty of the game. It is just so unlike any other sport with its own unique history and glory. Reminds me of watching games with the great Vin Scully broadcasting. Just so majestic. Absolutely great movie
This is one of those rare movies that is actually underrated. People throw that term around “underrated” all the time. I don’t remember a movie being so much better than the reception this film got. I believe after “Dances with Wolves” and “Field of Dreams” Costner went on a run of bombs critically and at the Box Office. So the critics just dismissed this film and picked it apart. Had this come out before “Waterworld”, “The Postman” etc… then I believe it would have been fairly analyzed. I love this movie.
Thank you for reacting to this film.
Award winning actors, a Hall of Fame announcer (the late Vin Scully, who for 67 years, announced games for the Los Angeles Dodgers, in addition to many other events as a broadcaster), and a wonderful story....with the national pastime brining it all together.
Ladies, I agree with many others who said watching this movie with the two who are enjoying it for the first time...gives us the sense of watching it for the first time again through your eyes (and tears.
Kelly Preston was a gem...beautiful, talented with a smile that was irresistible
I very seldom watch a movie for the second time, but here I am after 8 months, watching Cassie's and Carly's reaction again. I enjoyed the reaction video as much this time as I did when I saw it right after it was posted. Thank you. Thank you.
I recommended this movie to you some time ago - I knew you would love it. The more you know about baseball, the more meaningful it is. There is depth both to the relationship, and also to his career as a dedicated and accomplished professional ball player.
Can't believe you ladies haven't started watching the television series Yellowstone starring Kevin Costner. Such an amazing show.
I'm so glad you guys decided to do this movie. I put it in the comments, and I think you guys will love it because it's a great sports movie and it has the love story you guys ❤❤❤❤
That guy Costner sure knows how to make a baseball movie..
I grew up with the voice of Vin Sculley, the voice of baseball, frequently in my ear. Hearing him makes me cry.
Im so happy you’re reacting to this! Another great Kevin Costner movie is Draft Day! So great! With Jennifer Garner
Kelly Preston is amazing. Sure do miss her. This one is one of my favorite movies. Consider Draft Day with Kevin Costner and Ive been mentioning before, Thirteen Days also with Kevin Costner. Its also timely with the war in Ukraine and tension with China. Its an awesome movie.
I just love that when the guy is crowding the plate Gus flashes Billy a middle finger as the back off pitch signal
This movie is very easy to overlook or never know about. It's a quiet gem.
I'm weird; but having said that this is my favorite baseball, and Costner, movie. I can't wait to watch along.
I absolutely KNEW you guys would love this flick! Glad I was right. It’s a great movie, sports and romance.
The highlight of this movie was watching and listening to the legendary Dodger broadcaster Vin Scully calling Kevin Costner's perfect game. May he rest in peace. This was a vintage Vinny performance on tv or over the radio wave that so many Dodgers fans loved - easy to listen and poetic. It was very fitting that Kevin Costner paid tribute and honored Vin Scully with his emotion speech at Dodgers Stadium on 9/24/2016. Vin Scully retired in 2016.
Cassie, you should watch that video.
There are countless big moments where Vin Scully called the game. In general, the fan favorite is his announcement at the Game 1 of 1988 World Series when the injured LA Dodgers Kirk Gibson hits the "improbable" walk-off home run against Oakland Athletics. My personal favorite moment was him announcing Hideo Nomo's no hitter game in Denver, Colorado. I believe to this day it is still the only no hitter game ever recorded at Colorada Rockies stadium. A no hitter was said to be impossible to achieve at Coors Field.
This movie was based on a book written by Michael Shaara. He was also the author of another book called The Killer Angels which was also turned into an excellent movie called "Gettysburg". I don't know how far back in history you're willing to go in reacting to a movie, but that Civil War movie is a star studded cast and most excellently done.
I have been DYING for you both to watch this. Knowing your love of Costner and seeing the movies you respond to, I knew this was perfect (pun fully intended) for you. All 3 of Kevin's baseball movies are fantastic in different ways, but I have a special love for this one. If you haven't already seen them, I also recommend Draft Day which is a Costner football film and Tin Cup which is a Costner golf film. (Oh, and on a side note, your hair looked amazing Carly).
Whenever I say the name of this movie out loud, I think of Keven, from The Office, saying things with fewer words, to save time ...
😂😂
So sad that John Travolta lost his wife…she was an extremely good actress…played in Jerry Maguire..as Tom’s girlfriend…beautiful woman….sorry she’s gone…
So I absolutely LOVE this entire movie, but I especially love a lot of what happens from 34:10 onwards. I love the speech that Gus gives to Billy. I love Billy seeing his dad when the count is 3 and 0 so he can throw the pivotal strike that makes Birch swing at the 3 and 1 pitch. I love Micky Hart redeeming himself and repaying Billy for having his back after his mistake, working the wall with him, etc, and the announcers call in general. "Back goes Micky Hart, to the track, at the wall, and leaps up and one hands it!"
I love the fact that the most important at bat of the game, and the one that sets everything down it's final course, is between Billy and his friend Davis Birch. If Davis Birch hits a home run on his 3rd at bat. Jane goes to London. Billy chases after her when he gets taken out, and who knows what happens afterwards. Because Mickey Hart robs Davis Birch of said home run though, because of the advice and assistance he got from Billy Chapel, Birch's friend and former teammate, Jane doesn't go to London, Billy gets his perfect game, and Billy gets his happily ever after.
If there were an award for saying tender you two would win with ease.
I'm overjoyed you two were able to watch and enjoy this movie. I had sent an email last year asking you to watch - even if it wasn't on RUclips. I've seen this several times and still have moist eyes at the end. Thank you. (BTW, I read Vin Scully came in to read his part and they asked him if he wanted to rehearse. He said no. Then he did his entire part in ONE TAKE! They were blown away. Then again, it was Vin Scully.)
"Remember the Titans" is such an awesome movie, not only for a sports movie.
Good call. FLOTG is a hidden gem. I love the way you girls remember the lines. I thought my buddies and I were the only ones who did that. You two are fun to watch a movie with. I'd do that again. :)
I never watch reactions, but I’ve binged watched about four of yours in the last 24 hours.. legends of the fall, tombstone, we were soldiers, and now this one
Watching Cassie & Carly (The Queen's Of Movie Reactions) being a Team and watching this movie is why Popcorn In Bed is the World Champion of Movie Reactions. It's just magical.
*Queens (doesn't need the apostrophe ' )
*Queens (doesn't need the apostrophe ' )
This was fun. Not sure how I'd never seen this one before. I'm definitely partial to movies from 1999. Something about the film, and the lighting and writing and the aesthetic and all that was kind of perfect. Hope you do more good movies from about '97-2002.
Late 90's were peak for movies and movie theatre experience... Little did we know the bottom was about to drop out and everything would become propaganda and woke garbage.
Kevin Costner and baseball is always magic!!! He is living every sports fan/players dreams through his movies. 💪
I suggested this in the past. Thamks so much for watching! I knew you would love it. RIP Beautiful Kelly.
My wife and I had the unfortunate distinction of watching live as Randy Johnson pitched a perfecto at Turner Field against our Braves. You hate it but, at the same time, you realize you're watching history. Totally identify with those Yankee fans both during and after!!
Yeah that was not a good day to be a Braves fan
I have seen this movie before but watching it with you two made it so much more special and emotional, thank you.
YOU taught me something. For some reason I didn't know Kelly Preston died. AND I had a crush on her in my younger days.
So many good quotes but the two that always get me are “you look old Davis. Are we really that old?” And “the cathedral that is Yankee Stadium belongs to a Chapel”
@Cassie & Carly
Since I first subscribed a year ago, you two have become like family. I’ve been going through my own Billy Chapel crossroads these days, and when I’m feeling blue, I come hang out with you in a reaction or two. This was The Perfect Reaction to a perfect game - I cried and felt less alone in my troubles for a night. You two are a national treasure - it’s unusual (or even rare) to find such tender spirits and wholesome humanity. Don’t ever change. Not even if it would give you MM’s of subscribers. You’re perfect just the way you are - witty, funny, and always rooting hard for love and kindness in a broken world. Thank you.
Other Costner sports movies worth checking out are Tin Cup (golf) and American Flyers (cycling). Flyers features a very young, pre-stardom Kevin Costner (sporting quite the mustache) while Tin Cup also stars Rene Russo (Thor’s Mom in MCU, and in Lethal Weapon 3). Which reminds me, are you reacting to LW3 soon?
I think yall will love this one! Its one of my all time favorite movies ❤
I worked with John C. Reilly on Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. He was a really nice guy.
You two should watch the "The Count of Monte of Christo" . Both of your hearts will melt.
Glad you two enjoyed this one. It's my favorite baseball movie.
I think these two are going to LOVE this movie...it has always been one of my favorite Costner movies. I really like the way Billy's romance with baseball is balanced against his real romance, and THE game is portrayed in a really compelling way to me.💯👍
I’m a life long Yankees fan. The guy at the airport bar is accurate portrayal of how we act. 😂
Barely a minute after J.K. Simmons (Billy's manager) came on screen, and you correctly identified him as the Farmers Insurance guy, my video was interrupted....by a Farmers Insurance commercial! 😆 I don't remember if you ladies have seen the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movies, but Simmons played a perfect J. Jonah Jameson, Peter Parker's boss at the Daily Bugle newspaper.
So glad you watched this great movie!! It's an underrated gem that doesn't get talked about enough. And anytime we get to hear Vin Scully's voice, easily one of the best broadcasters of all time, it's a good day. 😊 Great job ladies!!
Funny that you should mention Spider-Man, since this is by the same director, Sam Raimi.
I think J.K. and him worked together in The Gift as well, if I'm not mistaken.
It was so fun and exciting to see you Cassie and Carly get worked up for this amazing sports Rom Com. ------- This for sure is the male version of love. We never say the right things, we never have the best timing, and we make more mistakes than one can count. ------ To hope by some stroke of luck saves our butt and the woman still gives us a chance to be a part of her life. ------ To find on the worst day of our lives that special lady is there in our corner to lift us when no one else will. ------- This is why, "For Love of the Game" Resonates so deeply. Thanks, gals for the amazing reactions. You all are the best.
Sooooo glad you are finally getting to this movie that I have suggested for months. I think you are both going to LOVE it!! Can't wait to watch with you guys. I know you guys like Kevin Costner AND sports so this will be a double whammy. Don't forget the other Kevin Costner movie I keep suggesting "Revenge"
The stories I can tell... after the Columbia accident a lot of NASA "graybeards" were planning to retire and take their experience with them. I posted a blog missive in which I referenced the movie title to implore them to stay until the shuttle program was completed.
The day after I posted it I received an email from then-Administrator Sean O'Keefe. He had understood my message and sent it down through the upper echelons of the agency. The following days were filled with emails containing well wishes and thanks from astronauts like John Grunsfeld and Bill "Reads" Readdy.
To say that it was overwhelming to me, an industrial instrument and valve technician, is an understatement.
"Stay For Love of the Game. Throw YOUR perfect game! Then you can retire."
One of the best Baseball movies I have ever seen! Also one of Costner's best, IMHO, especially as a end of the road and looking back type of story.
Thank you, Cassie and Carly. My expectations for this reaction... to this most poignant of all the sports stories through the lens of the one perfect game... to the most human of all the love stories pinged with both undeniable truth and doubt, magnified even more by the addition of the daughter... the writing... the acting... everything... well, it couldn't have been any higher. Yet, you two exceeded that expectation and somehow made Love and the Game... even better. For me, this FLOTG react sits up with the very best of PiB.
You've gotta see Tin Cup with Costner. You will laugh all the way through it...and it even has heart! You'll love it!
@ 38:30 The Yankee's manager talking to the rookie, who's gonna try and break up Chapel's perfect game, is Augie Garrido, long time coach of The Fullerton Titans.
My home team is the Tigers. I had a Chapel jersey made back in 2005.
Cassie, if you haven't seen JFK, do yourself a favor and watch it. Costner is amazing in it. You will also recognize pretty much the whole cast as well. 10/10 movie. One of the best ever.
@Cassie & Carly-
Thanks for reviewing this movie!!! This reaction exceeded my expectations.
It was magic when Cassie fell in love with another favorite movie of mine, "The Replacements". Ever since you reviewed "Field of Dreams", I have been waiting for the 2 of you to review this movie for a year! I love how "For the Love of the Game" movie and how it intertwines Billy & Jayne's story together & the backdrop of the baseball game. Costner truly is the king of baseball movies!
There is a lesser known Keanau Reeve's movie I KNOW YOU'D LOVE... It's called "Hardball".
I hope you'll get to it sometime.
All the best,
M-
Al Kaline went from high school to irganuzed ball. During his entire decades of playing, his entire big league career was soent at Detroit. He never was traded.
The Yankee player, Tuttle that Billy really didn't like, Billy said "I saw the sh!tty little Hollywood movie you did."
Tuttle was in another Hollywood baseball movie called "Little Big League." I never realized that until right now watching this reaction.
I have been waiting for you two to react to this movie since Field of Dreams. Thank you.
This is the greatest baseball movie. I'll give you that Bull Durham and Major League have their places, but this is so well constructed. A 5 year romance being recalled during the progress of a fantastic, well presented last game of the season. The best part of this [I played sports for 13 years] is the "clear the mechanism" ... so well presented. His talking out loud and thoughts throughout the game as it progresses with all of the banter puts this in the stratosphere.
Thank you so much. This has always been one of my favorite movies. I first saw it years ago. Watch your reactions felt almost as good seeing it for the first time all over again.
I appreciate you both. Liked. Subscribed long ago. 😂
Kelly Preston played a teenager in Space Camp, and was also in Twins opposite Ahhnold. And was the mom in Jack Frost.
“Tin Cup”, Kevin Costner. You two will enjoy it.
Oh, and “Pitch Fever” 👍🏻 also combines love and baseball. Another for your “Love/Sports” list.
I agree Tin Cup would be right up there alley
Fever Pitch
@@lancelarson9306 thanks for catching that! Late night commenting! ⚾️
The most successful pitcher in the history of professional baseball was a woman named Jean Faut. She played for the Racine Bluebells, which was a team in the All American Girls Professional Baseball League (the same league portrayed in the film "A league of their own"). She not only pitched two perfect games (a feat never matched by any other professional pitcher) she pitched three no hitters (the difference is that in a perfect game nobody makes it on base at all, and in a no hitter, someone get on base due to a walk or a struck batter, but does not score). Meaning that not only did she pitch two perfect games, she came close to pitching five. She also pitched an exhibition match wherein she struck out some of the greatest hitters of the 1940s and 1950s.
No pitcher has *EVER* done that well.
"you can be in a really dark place...and still control your actions" - i sure wish more people realized this. you ultimately still have a choice how you are going to act towards someone.
This one is a guilty pleasure if mine. Guys aren't supposed to have emotions, but I always ride the waves in this movie when no one's looking. This movie always makes me feel better when I'm down. It makes me think of all the things I did wrong with her. It's been decades. It still hurts, but life isn't a movie.
Great choice...I still highly recommend "Silverado" w/ a much younger Kevin Costner.
A lot of big stars
@@darrellberger4066 Agreed Darrell, Chris, - I'd think she's inundated with "Silverado" in the comments, not sure if anyone's polled the comments to identify how often it's written though. I'm sure RUclips can track that data, right? lol.
I’ve never seen this movie. Looks really good. Both of you will like a movie called Southpaw which is a boxing movie. It stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Rachel McAdams. Movie has a lot of heart.
There was a basketball movie made in the late 1970s starring Robbie Benson called “One on One”. I would recommend this as a sports movie, basketball movie, and a movie where the title character discovers what he is made of. Terrific movie.
Kids sports movies are a must .
The sandlot, the bad News bears, Slapshot, that one's hockey aye😊
Does Carly have a social account? Also you will love this movie! Lol
Now to continue the Costner series like Bond, The Guardian and Tin Cup
Cassie, I’m so glad you finally watched my recommendation! I knew you and Carly would love it!!
This movie truly has something for everyone. It's like... the perfect date movie.
