80's Movie Weekend



Today's 1984 film was adapted from the 1952 book of the same name and is one of my favorite baseball movies ever... Robert Redford as Roy Hobbs along with Robert Duvall, Glenn Close, Kim Basinger, and Wilford Brimley... here is "The Natural"...

the trailer...



Hobbs strikes out the Hammer...



Hobbs smashes a clock...



Hobbs' final at bat... go pick me out a winner, Bobby... and cue the spectacular light shattering music...
