If you like baseball movies, you got to have this one. The portrayal of Dizzy Dean is way over the top but I laughed all the way through this movie. It portrays Dizzy Dean as an "aw shucks" hick from the sticks that makes it to the minor leagues, tells his team mates he is just passing through on his way to the big league club in St. Louis, he apologizes to his manager for not throwing a no hitter after he gave up ONE hit in a game, and it even portrays how he got the name Dizzy. A great corny baseball flick!!

I love this movie. I always avoided renting it and ran out of choice one night and reluctantly picked it up. Wow, was I suprized. I laughed and really enjoyed this movie thoroughly. I especailly like the part when they are in the world series and Dizzy calls a time out to talk to the pitcher. You think it's going to be something big, but he says, "Does your dad still have the shotgun for sale?" The pitcher is like..."what???" And then when he becomes an announcer at the end of the movie....fabulous good movie. By all means rent, buy or borrow this movie. Good clean fun for the whole family. You won't be sorry, unless You've somehow distroyed every once of goodness in you.

I bought this movie after watching the 1952 "Angels in the Outfield". I think both of them are great. Dizzy Dean was a colorful character and this movie does a good (although slightly inaccurate) job of portraying it. He was also an outstanding pitcher and all the boasting he did (he did it A LOT) was wonderful because he backed it up. The movie is interesting all the way through, even the portions after his career ended.

I recommend this film to any fan of classic baseball films.

Great Story -- always has been one of my favorite movies. One of the old classics where actors actually knew how to act and articulate the english language.

I am disapointed as I wanted to but this movie and not just see it on video at your site..........

This movie is one of the best baseball films that I have ever seen.Why it has not been released on dvd by now is beyond me.I truly believe it would be enjoyed by all who see it.
