The girl who loved Tom Gordon
This is only the second book I've read by Stephen King. The only other book that I've read is "Carrie," and I have to admit that it nor this particular novel was very scary to me. However, King tells …

Fever Pitch (Widescreen Edition) (2005)
I've seen almost all of the Farrelly brothers' films and I have to say that "Fever Pitch" falls shorter than all of them. But don't get me wrong, "Fever Pitch" is sufficient as a feel good, silly romance/comedy. …

The girl who loved Tom Gordon
Pros: Plays on a very real idea and fear     Cons: So real that many wouldn't be afraid of it. Why a Red Sox player?     The Bottom Line: Now being lost in New …

2004 World Series - Boston Red Sox vs. St. Louis
If you are a Red Sox fan you probably already have this DVD sitting on your bookshelf. The amazing antics of the 2004 Sox have killed "The Curse" for good and any fan would want to be able to relive this …

Fever Pitch (Widescreen Edition) (2005)
Pros: Good Premise and some good jokes.     Cons: Plot may be to thin for some.     The Bottom Line: A fun and charming romantic comedy.     …

Faithful: Two Diehard Boston Red Sox Fans
Frankly, I read "Faithful" because I'm a diehard Stephen King fan, and I tend to follow all his work the way he follows the Red Sox. I trumpet his successes to anyone who will listen, and I look at his …

The Pride of the Yankees (1943)
This may not be the best baseball movie made but it is definately my favorite! It is a little campy at times but Babe Ruth gives an enjoyable and convincing portrayal of himself and other greats including …

When You Come To A Fork In The Road, Take It!
Yogi surprisingly give some good words of wisdom and convinces us that there is more to the mental make-up of one of the greatest ballplayers ever than the quotes that he is known for.    Yogi …

2004 World Series - Boston Red Sox vs. St. Louis
Dennis Leahry, fresh off The Curse of the Bambino special he narrated, does an excellent job in this one. It does everything to put an end to the curse including having several living Red Sox from prior …

The Pride of the Yankees (1943)
This is one of my favorite movies of all times. It's the story of Lou Gehrig, the "Iron Man" of baseball whose wonderful career was ended by the disease named after him. The story is not just about baseball …

Damn Yankees: An Original Soundtrack Recording
The film soundtrack to DAMN YANKEES is similar but certainly quite inferior to the peerless 1955 original Broadway cast album. The Warner Bros. film brought the entire original cast to reprise their roles …

Pros: Geena Davis, Tom Hanks and the All American Girls Professional Baseball League     Cons: Couldn't find a one     The Bottom Line: One of the better films …

Field of Dreams
This ranks as one of my favorite movies of all time. You don't have to be a baseball fan to appreciate the nostalgia and warm heartedness this movie brings to the big screen - well little screen in the …

Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game
Being a British naturalised Kiwi, I could not possibly know (or, to be honest, care) less about baseball. Nonetheless, I found this to be a fascinating book, and have been recommending it to everyone …

2001 World Series - Arizona Diamondbacks vs. New
MLB has really come a long way and this is one of the best produced videos they have made to date. All the magic from the game tieing homeruns to the bloop single that capped a come from behind win for …

The Pride of the Yankees (1943)
"The Pride of the Yankees" is without a doubt one of the best baseball films of all time. Why? Because it isn't just about baseball. It's about a real person seeking that seemingly impossible American …

Shoeless Summer
"Shoeless Summer" is an excellent account of Shoeless Joe Jackson's days in Americus, GA, where he played semi-pro baseball in 1923. It gives you a day-to-day, inning-by-inning description of the events …

2003 World Series Video - New York Yankees vs.
As always, the people at Major League Baseball have put together a superb World Series video! You don't have to be a Marlins fan or a Yankees fan/hater to love this one. And for the first time, the extra …

The girl who loved Tom Gordon
King wrote an earlier book about a woman that was accidently chained to a bed in a log cabin (he's written so many that I forgot the name). In it the woman struggles to survive and escape from her bonds. …

This is probably the best of these productions to date. Well produced with additional features that allow you to get the TV feed of some of the most exciting plays. On top of that, we had the most exciting …

So begins one of Broadway's most delightful (and successful) musical offerings of the early 50's, DAMN YANKEES, based on the popular novel 'The Year the Yankees Lost the Pennant' by Douglass Wallop.With …
