Wish I remembered it better.......2007-03-29
When I was a kid, every time we went to Videomax (the old one on Gratiot), I'd make a bee-line for this movie and beg to watch it again.
Usually, I wasn't very successful.
It's not the plot and filmography that kept bringing me back. It's Tiger Stadium, Sparky, Ernie Harwell, and the national anthem being sung by a Supreme. If you didn't grow up with Tram & Lou and the blue-lathered cement of Michigan & Trumbell, don't bother. But if your Great Grandpa wondered at Cobb, your grandfather tells tales of Greenberg, your dad's mitt was signed by Kaline, and your kids just drew "Rodriguez 7" on the back of their t-shirts, then put "Angels in the Outfield" in a box in the basement and get this piece of Detroit up on your shelf, even if, at times, it's more bland than the nachos at CoPa.
Not as good as I'd hoped.......2006-12-18
This movie was a little darker and at times depressing. It seemed to move slowly. For a Disney movie I was expecting it to be a little more upbeat, especially for my son and I to watch together. The baseball play was a little staged and not very authentic. It painted a fairly depressing picture of what living in Detroit is like (unfortunately it seemed to be accurate). I watched an old VHS version. It was an "OK" movie and I'm guess I'm glad I've seen it but there are a lot of much better baseball movies out there.

One of the best baseball movies ever! I think I actually still have it on VHS somewhere, but it is probably so mangled from watching it over and over again that you can't watch it. I used to love when he would sneak into Tiger Stadium and outrun the security (security was about as effective then as it is now, nice to know some things never change!).
A Tiger Fan Must.......2006-06-15
I remember this great movie when I was a kid. A must for any Tiger fan, and you don't have to be embarrassed anymore
Disappointed.......2005-02-05
I remember hearing about the movie. I was told that it was based on Al Kaline and the 1968 Tigers. I was expecting a movie about the ups and downs of the 1968 championship team. When I saw the movie in 1984 during a free Disney preview I was a little surprised to see the Tigers were playing Milwaukee--there was no Milwaukee team in 1968 and I was surprised to see Sparky Anderson in the dugout. He hadn't even begun managing in major league baseball. Instead what I saw was a young boy's devotion to a team. It was like all the other corny baseball stories. A team is in last place and doing really bad and then someone makes a discovery and because of that discovery the team plays well and then on the last day of the season the team is tied for first place and is playing the other team but for some reason something goes wrong and the team doesn't have what they need to win and they are behind in the game and then after two outs and two strikes someone hits a home run and they win. Also if there were 50 games left of the season, why was the boy attending school--unless it was summer school. In most school district if there are 50 games left of the season school is not in session. It was probably well done for someone who wanted to see a typical corny movie but I was expecting to see a complete documentary of the 1968 season.
