They are all wet.

“The Natural” and “Field of Dreams” are excellent movies. I enjoyed “Bull Durham” and “Major League”... they made me laugh. Although Robbins and his girlfriend makes BD hard to watch now.

Never saw “Moneyball”... actually I had never heard of it.

I actually read The Natural for a Lit class in College.

I agree. And Moneyball is really just the opposite of the writer’s take. It doesn’t celebrate big money in baseball, it celebrates the true story of how the Oakland As took a bunch of unknowns and past their prime players, who they could get cheap, and formed a winning team. Moneyball refers to the system a back office guy comes up with to figure out how to get the most bang for the buck by not hiring big contract stars.

“Never saw “Moneyball”... actually I had never heard of it.”

I saw part of it, it was pretty good and actually rather interesting. It’s based on a true story. I don’t think it was well described here.

Another one that hubby loved was “Trouble with the Curve”, but hubby loves anything with Amy Adams.
