The only way we could get an accurate account of the Black Sox, would be to let Kevin Costner star in and direct another one of his 3 1/2-4 hour sagas, with a 5 hour director's cut.. Just kidding.

In all honesty, I'd love to see Ron Howard take a crack at a Black Sox movie. If he can get it to turn out anywhere near as perfect as "Cinderella Man", we might be potentially looking at the greatest baseball movie ever made...I'm thinking Russel Crowe would be ideal for Ray Schalk...
