Kinsella lost me when, in the book, he built ONLY left field. I also read the Iowa Baseball Confederacy which was enjoyable for a while...then went off the deep end (i.e. a cemetery obelisk playing right field; Leonard Da Vinci touching down on the field via a time-traveling hot air balloon)--I know, I know...but it was passable before that.

I thought the book was better but I am a book person. I loved his using JD Salinger and while James Earl Jones was great as a parallel character, it wasn't the same. And there was no Oldest Living Chicago Cub. That said, I liked the movie too. I don't usually like Costner but he was superb.
