Fever Pitch
The mythology of baseball is something that cannot be replicated. Football, Basketball, and Hockey have tried but ultimately they never had a chance. A basketball jersey doesn’t symbolize a city like a a ball cap does, the sound of a baseball bat evokes emotion in a way that a linebacker laying a quarterback out is incapable of, stepping down into the lower bowl of a rink can’t elicit the same feeling as your first glimpse of the field after entering the gate.
The Red Sox are my parents team, October wasn’t the month of scary movies or Halloween but Baseball. Red and Navy blue seemed to be the only to two colors in existence. The Sox won the World Series the year my parents go married and the year I was born even though they aren’t my team. The Red Sox are baseball
This movie isn’t the best, I would hesitate to call it good but Fever Pitch captures the spirit of Major League Baseball and what I love about it like no other film.
This is probably my tenth time watching this and it gets better every time
