For Love of the Game
TV: I love how Billy Chapel doesn’t realize until the 8th inning that he could be pitching the perfect game. It was like he was so focused on reminiscing his life and all the roads that brought him to this point where he has make a decision, that he tuned out all the counting.
This movie gives me goosebumps and I love the way the whole team carries Billy after the 8th inning. They all pull together to accomplish something great.
But the best part of the movie is the sports commentator. He’s so poetic and brings everything into context. Billy’s life, his career and the greater good of baseball.
“I’ll miss you the most scarecrow.”
“The cathedral that is Yankee Stadium, belongs to a Chapel.”
