My dad died when I was eight. This movie, every time I see that ending, even here, is the only one that brings tears to my eyes.

I tear up at this ending every time I watch.
My Dad never played catch with me. But he would hit me fly balls in the front yard. I’ll never forget those times.
I certainly hope my boys remember fondly, the times we played catch together.

The director said nobody ever came up with the right answer as to who the voice was. Timothy Busfield.
