Reviews from our users [Review this film]

"This true story brings you right into a moment in time and makes you feel apart of it. Jimmy Stewart does an admirable job bringng Monty STRATTON's story to the movies. The numerous former ball players & baseball fields utilized during the filming of this movie make for great viewing moments. From the Golden Age of baseball movies this would be top 5." -- Randy Howlett
