40 year anniversary of the original "Bad News Bears".

I was 15.
This is one of the movies that helped begin our slide downward.
A mainstream, even family film, that was entertaining presented low moral standards and deviancy as normal, even heroic.

I saw this at a drive-in movie theater. I remember going with my brother and there being about 7 of us in the car, and me realizing quickly into the movie with the language, drinking, etc.., my mother would NOT have liked us going.

"Roy Turner (Vic Morrow), the Yankees manager..."
Say, didn't Vic Morrow get killed by helicopter blades while on a film shoot?

Great movie. Back when we could laugh at ourselves. When Walter Matthau starred, I didn't bother reading the reviews. I knew it would be hilarious and poignant.
