The whole film is about underdogs, cast offs, and second chances. How the people baseball so easily writes off and throws away are capable of delivering the game’s most heartfelt, inspirational moments. Relates to Billy’s “how can you not be romantic about baseball” sentiment.
shareNice job in explaining this without being condescending or sarcastic. Rare to see this creditable conduct on an internet comment board these days
shareIt’s such a great metaphor. Billy wants to win the ‘last game of the season’ so critics cannot dispute that his system works. He gets a monster offer to GM the Red Sox and still comes back expressing his disappointment to Peter about how the A’s didn’t win. Channeling both his regret in taking the big contract instead of going to Stanford AND his struggles as a ball player: our fears and failures cripple us so much that we can’t even see the successes right in front of our face. Love the end of his daughters song “Don’t be a loser Dad” says so much. She’s not calling him a loser she is saying stop acting like a loser.
shareMe neither
shareIt's definitely a Christmas offer presented to many people ,,COVID and business centred. The main manager took my job and you just don't know what impact you might have on another person. We underestimate the power ofmout own kindness and compassion.
