Negative Positive
Title: Excellent Movie--Even for the non-athletic among us.
Review: Truth to tell, I know absolutely zero about baseball. The only thing I know is that Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris were baseball players from a while ago, and that was it. Despite that, I LOVED this movie. It was interesting to see Maris and Mantle as best friends even though they were very different people and fans were constantly comparing one with the other (with Mantle always coming out on top). The actors who played them did excellent jobs. I could sympathize greatly with the characters. The plot was subtle but very compelling. And I'm glad to hear that Maris finally got the appreciation that was his due, even though it wasn't until after he died. The storyline was universal with no knowledge of baseball required to understand the movie. I would recommend to everyone, even those, who like me, don't know diddly squat about baseball.
