Don't let the title turn you off thinking it's a sports movie. This is much more a Dad and daughter relationship movie. Clint is excellent as a bitter, yet misunderstood old man and Amy Adams plays the wounded daughter to a tee. Well worth watching more than once.

I was disappointed in the movie, its basically about a old baseball scout who's eye sight is not very good at all, so he would have lost his job if his daughter had not left her job to help her dad out. The only good part of the movie comes near the end as to what the daughter finds, which I won't tell you about until you see the movie...

***MINIMAL SPOILERS*** Gus Lobel (Clint Eastwood) has been one of the best scouts in baseball for decades, but, despite his efforts to hide it, age is starting to catch up with him. Nevertheless, Gus--who can tell a pitch just by the crack of the bat--refuses to be benched for what may be the final innings of his career. He may not have a choice. The front office of the Atlanta Braves is starting to question his judgment, especially with the country's hottest batting phenom on deck for the draft. The one person who might be able to help is also the one person Gus would never ask: his daughter, Mickey (Amy Adams), an associate at a high-powered Atlanta law firm whose drive and ambition has put her on the fast track to becoming partner. Against her better judgment, and over Gus's objections, Mickey joins him on his latest scouting trip to North Carolina, jeopardizing her own career to save his. Forced to spend time together for the first time in years, each makes new discoveries--revealing long-held truths about their past and present that could change their future.Read full review
My wife and I think it is one of the best baseball movies. Clint Eastwood, Amy Adams and Jason Timberlake do an outstanding job. The character development was fantastic
