OK, I'm a wimp

The Natural has one of the cheesiest, most predictable, Hollywood, endings in the history of film. It uses every cliche, every camera trick, every sound trick.

It is pure Hollywood schmaltz.

And I tear up every time.

Second best baseball movie ever made.

For 25 penguin points, guess my favorite baseball movie of all time.

Bull Durham. Best-written baseball movie around. Though it wouldn't surprise me very much if you were more a Field of Dreams guy if you like The Natural.
