Hey, I played little league baseball too, and I played catch endlessly with my best friend. But memories of little league notwithstanding, this simply is not a good film. It's obvious, and cliche, and stretches belief beyond the breaking point. If you want to see a reminiscence-type film well done, rent Bronx Tale sometime. Even the television-based Wonder Years was better, on probably 1/10 the budget. Go play catch with your kids and leave this on the shelf, guys.
