Well...sorry to see you had to repost this after so long...but the silver lining is that it is a great tribute to James Earl Jones...since he passed away recently....may he RIP. 👍
Anyone who can watch this without choking up a little towards the end, has to have been through some *really* nasty stuff. And/or has some serious issues.
Another baseball movie starring Kevin Costner is “For Love Of The Game” and you will definitely enjoy it as baseball fans. And don’t forget “The Rookie” with Dennis Quaid as Jim Morris. High school BB coach to major league pitcher.
So many wants to figure out how they are able to do all of this, and in truth I don't think there's any real explanation for it. So don't bother trying to figure it out just sit back and enjoy it.
This movie helped to shape my young imagination and was one of the first movies that brought me to tears. I watched this film with my father who recently passed away and I would give ANYTHING to have one more catch. Great reaction.. genuine as always.
If you haven't watched it yet, check out 61* . Directed by Billy Crystal, it's about Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris trying to break Babe Ruth's home run record in 1961...
I played catch with my Dad a lot. I love baseball and I could never play because I am a female. I hate softball. I played sandlot with the boys in the neighborhood and I was chosen first because I got my growth spurt before the boys and I could hit, throw, run better than them until their bodies caught up. I watched Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays play in spring training and Mickey in NYC. I dragged my Dad to spring training later to see Pops Willie Stargell. Moonlight was a real player but in 1905 not 1922 like in the movie
This wasn’t supposed to be the sixties , it was supposed to be real time during filming . 80’s . In my top 5 all time movies list since seeing opening night in Theater ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Just one little footnote. If u recall, Terrance Manns father listed him missing after repeated phone calls. That because Mann had passed away, and he was a spirit like the players, so thats why he was invited out with the players.
I'm a grown man. Two movies make me cry, this one and Saving Private Ryan. I lost my Dad 25 years ago. We played a lot of catch, but what I wouldn't give to do it one more time
I've watched a lot of Field of Dreams reactions, because it's a great movie. But I have to admit, seeing this one, and trying to watch it, I have to keep saying "Wait a minute ... the reaction bits are sounds awfully familiar." Early on I reached the point I'm not surprised to learn this is a re-up. 'Cause I've watched you watch this before. How long ago was the original upload?
And even more the second time I sticks out when one of you says "Well this was back in the 60s." No, this took place in the 80s. Though at one point they warped back into 72.
The 2nd mistake…probably, is after the practice when the in-laws come for dinner..and one of the players mocks The Wizard of Oz…I don’t know when these players died..they got banned for throwing the 1919..World Series..after some,kind of trial or hears Judge MountainmLandis banned them for life..but the Wizard came out in 1939…and what I said about the lights? The last team got lights installed halfway into the 1988 season…a year after the movie’s release…
Just noticed the first mistake they made…THE LIGHTS..when the voice says it again…closer to the house. A baseball field with lights appears…when Joe Jackson and the other 7 were kicked out of baseball by Judge Landis..they didn’t play under lights…and when Shoeless first appears he says…what’s with the lights…he would not know that every team plays under lights for,night games…
For me, it was the song…Cat’s in the Cradle….my dad was always working…so it was just the kids playing..my brother was 4 1/2 years older…and sister were younger..so, I never had a catch with dad..he wasn’t that kind…
Doc Graham was a real person from Chisholm, MN that played one game in the majors then became a doctor. The people in the movie that James Earl Jones interview are actual residents that knew Doc Graham including the lady that wrote the obituary.
Tell your clueless friend, that not having certain books in schools isn't "banning". It's having age appropriate material in the school system. Porn for instance. You can still get the books, they are not burned. This is why critical thinking is important.
But, the problem is so many complaints, or ideas of whats appropraie are incredibly subjective. Its also not really pertinent to the discussion in the movie. They were essentially trying to ban "To Kill a Mockingbird", or "Catcher in the Rye". They werent talking about banning pornography, except for the jamoke in the audience who tried to claim Mann's book was pornography, or ,god forbid, communism, which he probably cant even define. No one serious wants pornography in schools. The problem is defining pornography, and who gets to define it. TLDR version, the people at the meeting were, in fact, trying to ban a book from the school curriculum.
I look forward to playing catch with my father. My mother was like that little girl, circa 1932. Her father was scouted by the NY Yankees, but he turned them down The first baseball commissioner was Branch Rickey.
I grew up near this location.
That long line of cars at the end, I'm in one of those cars with my dad
Nice.
Great memory to have, congrats. That's super awesome.
you got snubbed by the Oscars that year.

RIP James Earl Jones and Ray Liotta. Also, James Horner's score for this movir is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard.

Check out the 1988 movie, "Eight Men Out" that chronicles the true story of the 1919 Chicago White Sox scandal.
Field of Dreams, making grown men cry since 1989…

For Love of the Game is a very underrated movie.
It's called fantasy guys. It's not necessarily weird. Logic can't be applied

This is back in the late 80's, not the 60's
James Earl Jones and Ray Liotta.. legends.
This was also Burt Lancaster's last movie.
EXCELLENT REACTION!!! 😊
All those who still have a Father to play catch with - do it. 😥
The cover strip is too big, can't see a thing.

I was never into sports and my Dad was not either. But I always keep the tissues handy when I watch this movie. 🖖
The ghosts just want someone in heaven sitting on a cloud that sounds like Vader. 😊
It's a great movie! But at the end, I couldn't help thinking about what they'd do for the need of restrooms, with that line of cars coming!
There's still a shit ton of corn that needs watered and fertilized
@@kenkonwick6660 LOL!
The Vorlons keep an interdimensional locker room in Ray's cornfield. Discuss.
Always brings me to tears.

Hope all you guys are staying dry and safe over there in Florida.
Thanks we are all safe

Moonlight Graham was real. If you look on MLB records, he appears as having played one game and never getting to bat.
Amazon started in 1994, five years after this movie was released. 7:56 Much later the 60s. 7:56
Great reaction ❤Great movie. This movie makes grown men cry. I sure miss my Dad😢
I live 10 miles from Iowa. So every time I go to Iowa, I say it 😂 "is this Heaven, no, it's Iowa".
A really really underrated baseball movie is "Hard Ball" Keanu Reeves and Michael B. Jordan.

Indeed! That fact flies over many reactors' heads.

Shoeless Joe was a left handed hitter; no excuse for getting that wrong.
...other than Ray Liotta, being the star, is a righty. ;0)
And Jackson had a southern accent, and was a friend of Ty Cobb. Relax. It’s not a documentary.
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
James Earl Jones made every film better. 🏆🏆🏆
Reupload? Or am I wrong?
Yeah, we got hit with a copyright after 2 years
Fantastic reaction! 👍👍👏👏🎉🎉
Great movie
Rip James Earl Jones
I look forward to playing catch with my father. My mother was like that little girl, circa 1932. Her father was scouted by the NY Yankees, but he turned them down The first baseball commissioner was Branch Rickey.
The first baseball Commissioner was Kennesaw Mountain Landis.
that end always hits me. i would give anything to play catch with my dad again.
