5.0 out of 5 stars Inning By Inning, July 23, 2009

By	Thomas M. Dutkowski - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Congrats to filmmaker Richard Linklater on his insightful portrait on legendary baseball coach, Augie Garrido. As a longtime high school baseball coach, I learned a lot and was reminded about the best things we experience in coaching. "Eliminate the fear, and it's fun. Eliminate concern for results, and it's fun. Do your best--fail--and then do your best again." These Augie-isms ring true with my three decades worth experience. And, the occassional profanity-laced tirade made me feel good that I wasn't the only coach who just can't take it when players settle for less than they can accomplish. The bonus features are great for a coach or anyone who wants to see what really goes on behind the scenes in baseball program. To see someone so completely dedicated to a game...it's pretty cool. Augie's about 70 in human years, but only 12 in baseball years! --Tom D., Michigan

I also caught this on ESPN about a year ago and have been anxiously awaiting the dvd release. Ordered it recently and can't wait to watch it again! A very enjoyable and in depth look into college baseball. If you like baseball you'll love this dvd!

5.0 out of 5 stars A film every kid playing baseball (and their parents) should see..., February 6, 2009

By	momma li "mom334" (seattle) - See all my reviews

I saw parts of this film on ESPN quite a while ago and have been eagerly awaiting the release of the DVD. It is almost here!!!!!! As the mother of two baseball playing boys, this really struck a chord with our household. The lessons imparted by Coach Garrido to his players, and the respect the players have for him are priceless to see. Filmaker Linklater obviously has a love of the game of baseball and equal respect for this coach. I plan on purchasing a copy for not only our household, but for my teenage son's select baseball coach so that the whole team can see it. Only a few boys playing baseball will ever get a chance to play for Garrido, but with this dvd, so many can gain a little bit of his wisdom. That is PRICELESS!!
