Excellent. Great acting, especially young Ricky, and great, moving, miracle story. It hurt my heart that his preacher Dad did not go see any of Ricky's games. How horrible!! Ricky was pretty saintly for not holding it against him. I love how the catcher from his kidhood was rooting him on in the end. A great feel-good movie!
Based on a true story that exemplifies love of family, faith, love and perseverance. A must see for those looking for quality family entertainment. Dennis Quaid, Bonnie Bedelia and Scott Glenn are excellent in their roles. I highly recommend this movie.
Enjoyed this true story. Overcoming and persevering in the face of poverty and physical impairments is absolutely inspiring. Best actor Dennis Quaid.
Tearjerker, Beautifully played and what an amazing story to teach us to strive to be better every day.
