The whole thing is way over-blown. Field of Dreams was a much more appropriate baseball movie, and a better movie overall. And, the rating allowed the whole family to see it, rather than just the adults. Isn't baseball a family sport?

On the other hand, it's good to realize that we have time to worry about something as trivial as this, instead of body counts. GBA.

"Field of Dreams was a much more appropriate baseball movie, and a better movie overall."

I agree.

But you know Hollywood -- they need even a baseball movie to have an "edge" (i.e. whores, transvestitism, and kinkiness) or else it's not taken seriously.

Maybe the Hall should have shifted gears years ago anyway by lauding a 'Field of Dreams' as the essential 'baseball film.'
