The Natural

After hearing that the Texas Rangers took two of three from the Boston Red Sox, I got in the baseball mood and wanted to catch an old baseball classic movie. I haven't seen The Natural in a real long time, so we rented it from Blockbuster and brought it home to watch. Seeing as how Dakota never saw the movie, she watched it with me.

Here's my take...

This is, in my opinion, the greatest baseball movie of all time. The story of a young boy with natural baseball talent, who struggles to get to the big leagues after 16 years. Robert Redford is great as Roy Hobbs, and middle aged rookie who knows that the clock is ticking on his baseball career. From every home run he hits to the struggles he went through to get to the final game, the story was captivating. For the baseball fans out there, this is the movie to check out.
