Yeah, I guess I wanted it to pull together all the great stuff I had heard about him, into one spot, done realistically. That's not what happened, and I felt the same way about the home runs - he might very well have hit HR's in the exact situations they showed in the movie, but what about all the other stuff he did?

Oh well. At least they left plenty of room for a sequel
