Reviews from our users [Review this film]
"Despite Jimmy Dugan's famous proclamation ("There is no crying in baseball"), my absolute favorite baseball film is an under-appreciated elegy for a terminally ill ballplayer, which also serves as a lament for a game so distant culturally as to be almost unrecognizable..Bang the Drum Slowly." --A Waco Farmer
