James A Apr 27 I liked it. I discovered it on video when it hit my local video store back in college in the 80s. I've watched a few times since and I still like it. There are some good lines and Randy Quaid steals a few scenes. It's not Major League or Bull Durham by any stretch, but it has its moments. See more 02/04/2019 Decent B flick movie. Baseball drama and a love affair See more 01/13/2017 Even breaking Roger Maris' long-standing single season home run record of 61 is bittersweet for Braves slugger, Darryl Palmer, when his wife leaves him to pursue a singing career. Palmer is a bit too cocky to feel a ton of sympathy for. Liked seeing the old jerseys and pitchers Fidrych and Hrabosky - even if neither of them actually pitched for the Astros.

See more 10/23/2015 Typically dreadful Neil Simon film revolving around self-absorbed (most emphatically displayed with his personalized 'Slugger' bathrobe) Atlanta Braves player and his aspiring-singer wife. The pennant chase and pursuit of Roger Maris' home run record are deadeningly portrayed against a subpar musical lineup featuring bad cover tunes. Ex-pros Mark Fidrych and Al Hrabosky are featured as Astros (!) pitchers. Most interesting is the fan who gives up the million dollar 62nd home run ball for the slugger out of the goodness of his heart; how the times have changed.
