9. Oh that's cool! Where was it filmed?

If that was me... I'd freeze-frame the best shot of me... then print and frame it. (Then submit my bio info to IMDB as being "fan in stadium" (uncredited).

Stadium is Bosse Field, chosen for its good condition as representative of WW II era. I have tried to find myself in the stands, but no luck so far.

On edit: I also attended this concert at Bosse Field:

July 2, 1972: Freedom Festival and Ice Cream Social with Ike & Tina Turner Revue, Edgar Winter, Dr. John 'The Night Tripper', Cactus, Black Oak Arkansas, Spirit, Country Joe & The Fish, Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker, Boones Farm and New Riders of the Purple Sage.

6. Best baseball movie ever!

7. Everyone remembers Tom Hanks's "There's no crying in baseball!"

And they forget Bitty Schram, who was doing the crying.

My heart went out to her in that scene.

That, and the scene on the bus, when one of her teammates says: "Whatcha doin'?"

"I'm writin' a sowong!" (Jersey for "I'm writing a song!)

I loved her innocence and sweetness in that scene.

8. "He's really a sweetie, Dotty."

And Gina Davis says " Yeah, I hope I have 5 just like him."
That character is precious, and when at the HoF, and Stillwell is looking at the cutout of his deceased mom, I cried!
