Throwback: The Natural

Love or hate baseball, I dare anyone to watch the last scene in The Natural and not get goosebumps. Not possible. It definitely gets the best Dramatic Baseball Movie Award from me. Face it, Field of Dreams is too sappy.

The World Series starts tonight and I honestly couldn’t care less. One team flew under-the-radar all season while the other wasn’t even supposed to be here. Besides Pujols and Josh Hamilton (and Nolan Ryan), are there any personalities that anyone cares about? The Cards just won the World Series and I don’t even know if the Rangers have fans. They only care about football in Dallas anyway and the Mavs had a parade a few months ago. There’s no way I’m staying up till 2AM to watch these games. Maybe if  a freak like Brian Wilson was involved like last year.

Throwback: The First Lockout

The NBA lockout has officially caused the cancellation of the first 100 games of the upcoming season. I’m pissed and hopefully all the basketball fans out there are too. If we make enough noise, you have to believe that it will all get settled sooner rather than later. Of course, that’s assuming that the owners and players are rational, which they rarely are. Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo wrote a good article about Commissioner Stern’s role in the proceedings. It’s worth a read.

The lockout of 1998-99 also sucked but the shortened season resulted in the Knicks going on one of the wildest playoff runs ever. With last second heroics ranging from improbable to miraculous, it was the one good thing to come out of the lockout. Here’s hoping something similar happens this time.

Today is the 60th anniversary of the Shot Heard Round the World. I can think of nothing better.
