At the college I like his student, Gilligan's Skipper, playing the catcher in that first ball test.

A fun movie, but absurd on just about every fundamental level. First, he won over thirty-five games (!), and lost ... what ... none? Someone from the league office would have been asking questions. Second, with that juiced hop, not one umpire bothered to go out to the mound to investigate his uniform, his cap, or the obvious hole in his glove for illegal substances. Third, he must have been periodically grooving pitches throughout a game in order to avoid throwing a no-hitter every time. And finally, the movie asks us to cheer for a man who was essentially cheating, as one who throws spitballs or corks a bat or takes steroids to enhance performance is cheating. Watch it as pure fantasy, laugh at the many funny scenes, don't dive into it too deeply, and enjoy.
