Baseball, Tough Decisions, Based on Real Life, Sports Science

I usually don't go for films about sports -many of the stories can become cliche or recycled- but this film felt different. The romance, superstitions, and nostalgia of America's pastime combined with what happens behind the scenes, science, and bureaucracy. Great performances, thought-provoking, not at all what I expected.
