Rich - I too have high hopes for the movie. It's been awhile since we had a real good baseball movie come out.
If you see the film and wonder where they filmed a lot of the on field action, you might recognize the great Southern Association stadium, Engel Stadium, in Chattanooga, Tn. (Home of the old Lookouts) This stadium is an historic landmark and has been around since 1880's. I was in Chattanooga while they were finishing the last days of filming, and was able to get a few photo's of the old field. They refurbished it for the movie, and added the "old time" scoreboard, etc. - Retro... Here are a few pics (Turn back the clock) :
