In fact, I suspect any VHS release of this film is permanently scarred in that segment. DVDs might be. <br /><br />FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME being based on a Michael Shaara novella has had my attention, but I haven't read nor seen either yet.<br /><br />So, Tony Perkins performance in FEAR STRIKES OUT doesn't rate in this regard? I take it BEER LEAGUE is about softball drunks (lasted about a minute with that one). BAD NEWS BEARS sequels also should be contenders.<br /><br />Bendix's other (non-Ruth) major baseball outing, KILL THE UMPIRE, was pretty good when I saw it thiry-some years ago.Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-2051288385003999902009-10-12T18:59:51.819-05:002009-10-12T18:59:51.819-05:00When I was eight years old, I loved THE BABE RUTH ...When I was eight years old, I loved THE BABE RUTH STORY. I'm not sure if I've seen it since then, though. The only other one I've seen from this list is SUMMER CATCH, which I didn't think was awful. Hey, it has a scene with Jessica Biel in a tiny bikini.

That is, if it really is a <i>baseball</i> movie and not just a movie with a baseball theme or reference.
