Saw this in the mid-90s and only rediscovered it 3 years ago. 30 years ago it was a strange, exotic beast. An adventure like Tom Selleck's Mr Baseball. But this, shows the good of sport. How it unites, improves and excites people.
It's an underrated little piece of moviemaking that has improved with time. This isn't a baseball movie, it was an attempt to show that the US is superior, but that the greatest patriot is more concerned with spreading the word of baseball than getting involved with politics. It's pure sport, with some funny gags.
Especially when Huck Finn jokes - "perhaps if it was a real world series". Anyone who loves sport, will enjoy this.
