  Cassie, If you ever see this, you made my daughter&apos;s night saying her &quot;Cassie could find a love story in a documentary about hammers&quot; comment was the best.. So, from Berea and myself, THANK YOU

  I completely forgot Kelly passed til it was mentioned. She was the definition of a &quot;natural beauty.&quot;

  I love J.K. Simmons in this movie. That line about getting out of that neighborhood before they get their butts kicked twice in one day never fails to make me laugh.

  They skipped over the best line in the film at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIuzzGq4tCk&amp;t=2450">40:50</a>.<br><br>&quot;No, curveball&apos;s for shit. He knows it and I know it.&quot;<br>&quot;He knows it...&quot;<br><br>(Pause)<br><br>&quot;This is gonna&apos; hurt a little bit...&quot;

  The ball bouncing off that guy&apos;s head and being a homerun actually happened IRL to Jose Canseco. One of the all-time great bloopers in sports history.

  Vin Scully was to this movie what Bob Uecker was to Major League. Both were the PERFECT CHOICE that made 2 awesome movies even better.

  On your questions/comments about baseball, foul balls count as strikes until there are two strikes. &nbsp;A foul ball doesn&apos;t count as a third strike, unless it is on a bunt. &nbsp;Once there are two strikes, a player can foul off 20 pitches or more in a row, and they just keep going. &nbsp;And for your comment on the Yankees fan. &nbsp;Back when this movie was made, that&apos;s how all of us felt about Yankees fans. &nbsp;They had so much more money than just about any other team that they could just buy the best players all the time. &nbsp;So they were always in the playoffs, and their fans came off as the most self-entitled jerks you could ever meet. &nbsp;So everyone who wasn&apos;t a Yankees fan, hated Yankees fans. &nbsp;On the other hand, you did get to see at the end of the movie the crowd applauding the perfect game. That is one thing you almost universally see when a perfect game is thrown. &nbsp;No matter which stadium it&apos;s in, and which team they pitch for, fan will usually give a standing ovation to the pitcher who throws one. &nbsp;They&apos;re just so rare, people are happy to be able to say they were there. &nbsp;In the over 140 years of Major League Baseball, only 23 perfect games have been thrown.

  The shot of the heavyset &quot;die hard NY Fan&quot; (not the guy in the suit - we dont really see him in this edit) giving the nod to him and saying Good Job Chapel- man as a Boston fan it hits me in the feels. its like when I was watching the Cubs win a World Series - its 6 seconds of film but it adds so much to what it is to be a true baseball fan . . . to love . . for the love of the game :)
