You don't have to be a baseball or a sports fan to enjoy this film about Grover Cleveland Alexander, one of baseball's great figures in history. Ronald Reagen and Doris Day star in this entertaining and fast moving film that describes Alexander's life before stardom, his own personal demons, and eventual comeback into the world of one of America's most beloved pastimes. Even though some have said, it's not totally accurate in the facts, the movie reflects Alexander's love of the sport, and the movie "The Winning Team" is a testament to Ronald and Doris that we feel we're seeing the real thing. While this film has remained virtually unknown, it has come out on a Ronald Reagen DVD set and deserves to be seen by those who appreciate old movies and who love biographies of any kind.
