The weakest baseball movie not to star Tom Selleck, Corbin Bersen, or a team of lovable black inner-city tots.

A terrible bio-pic, almost as bad as William Bendix in The Babe Ruth Story; Goodman is all ham; inaccuracies abound; no real sense of the game is evident.

Not one of the best baseball biopics out there, but Goodman makes it fun.
