How many iconic moments can you fit into 4 minutes? The dig at Ty Cobb, "Are you Graham?", "Let's see that fastball", "watch out for in-your-ear", the nod of recognition and gratitude at the end. What a classic film.

Too bad the dig at Cobb was based on a book written by a writer who turned out to be a complete fraud (Al Stump).

I've always felt it symbolic that the one at bat that Archie Graham comes back for ends up with a sacrifice fly ... getting one's self out so that your teammate can advance and score. Archie's whole life outside of baseball was about sacrifice.

[@Scopper81]

What did Robert De Niro's character tell his son in The Fan, you sacrifice for the team and it doesn't count against your average. Baseball is fair! :)

[@rnhtube]

Sounds like you read the book! I always thought it was interesting that the Graham character never got an at batin the majors but did play, and here he is with an at bat that doesn't count as an at bat.

[@bobafettuccine3541]

The look between them at the end is my favorite part of the movie. I think it was about "thank you" and "you're welcome", but it's up to the viewers.

[@moeball740]

Absolutely...just a smile and a nod was all it took. Spoke volumes. That's some quality filmmaking.

[@luishumbertovega3900]

I interpret Archie's nodding as a "Thank You for insisting in bringing me here, this is great !"

[@robertriver786]

Probably my favorite seen in the movie, besides Ray asking his dad, John Kinsella, at the end of the movie if he wants to "have a catch." I believe Archie had told Ray earlier in the movie that he had never had an at bat in the majors, and that his dream was to have just one at bat and hit a triple, sliding safe, head first into third. So to me, this silent glance from Ray to Archie after Archie hits a sacrifice fly, was like Ray asking Archie, "Was that Sac. Fly, instead of hitting your triple and sliding safe into third, alright?" And Archie's nodding and smiling was as if to say, "Yeah...yeah, it was definitely good enough. Thanks." And then Ray nodding back, "Your welcome." RIP, Ray Lotta. "You were good."

[@markmarderosian4025]

The lighting on Costner at the end and the music with both their smiles were pitch perfect.

[@jamesdrynan]

Unbelievable, indeed! The movie has aspects of sci-fi fantasy in it. For instance, Ray and Terry visit Doc's hometown. Ray goes for a walk and meets Doc in 1972, even though Doc died in 1978. The next day, they pick up a young 14 year old hitchhiker named Archie Graham in today's time line. If that isn't time-travel personified, then nothing is!

Don't you wonder who the ghost umpires were? I like to think one of them was Cal Hubbard, a 20 year ump in the 40's and 50's. Cal in his youth was a standout lineman for the Packers and others, I think. He is the only member of both the Baseball and NFL Halls of Fame. I met Cal back in the 60's when he accompanied one of my Dad's war buddies on a pheasant hunting trip on Dad's Kansas farm.

Happy Father's Day dad and be in peace...

[@Schoolforthesoul]

I was a little kid when this came out. I've not seen it since then. It's amazing looking back at my child self and remembering how I viewed this movie. I didn't understand that the players were dead. I remember thinking something like these guys lived in the corn and wanted to play baseball. I also remember being very confused for a lot of the movie. I can't wait to watch it now as an adult.

well it depends...considering the rule wasn't official until 1954 and the majority of the players that we see are from the "Golden Age." ..add to this that Graham started his medical career in 1909 (gives you a time frame when he played in the minors) so....yeah....it depends on how you look at it. EDIT: Not a baseball fanatic...but I looked into it more...before 1908, it would have been considered "At Bat"...but, since this game is "sandlot style" and not official....yeah. However...for the story, I think one might argue that in Grahams mind...he got to do everything he wanted.

[@nottelling8456]

@@bubbaguy4411 correct. in fact, had the rule been in play in 1941, ted williams could have sat out the last day of the season, having hit over .400 (i found 3 of them going through 1941 box scores, so he would have been hitting like .404 with the rule change).

Shoeless Joe and Ty Cobb actually had a good relationship. Ty Cobb, who is misunderstood and much maligned by history, once met Jackson at a liquor store he was working at years later. Cobb asked him how he was doing, and Joe was shy. he did not want to be recognized. But they respected each other and admired each other's swings.

[@nathanturnmire9323]

Cobb says to Jackson, "what's wrong Joe, don't you remember me?" Jackson replied, "sure, Ty, but I didn't think you wanted to remember me. Most of 'em don't."

[@randomtraveler9854]

Another thing to consider is Landis (and to a lesser extent future commissioners) were coming down hard on players who associated with players bannd, especially those in the Black Sox Scandal. Jackson may have been afraid that Cobb's records would be removed from the books if he talked to him.
