61 [DVD] [2001] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]

Baseball has to me always been a minority sport. This movie changed all that. As director, Billy Crystal shows that every sport has some defining moment in its history. Brilliantly directed & equally superbly acted by Thomas Jane,Barry Pepper & the other actors in this movie. It gives a real flavour of what the pressure (of breaking the BABES record for Home Runs for a season) from the press must have been like for a young country boy moving to New York. The commissioner of baseball then changes the rules as he is a fan of the Babes & wants the record to stay with the Babe. A really absorbing, tense & dramatic end to the movie. I would recommend this movie to any sports fans out there who, like me said Baseball, kids game.

This is a tremendous film and can be enjoyed by baseball fans and those who know diddly squat about baseball. A must see!!!

Excellent movie, but the Blu Ray disc is Region A encoded and will not play on standard UK players.I advised Amazon.co.uk of this some weeks ago, but notice that the product data has not been updated. Beware!

Brilliant Performances from the leads as well as great Direction from Billy Crystal.A great companion piece to Cobb and Babe,

Very good thanks

A great tribute to the late Roger Maris and that 1961 season, different standards in a far off, different world.

Could not review as there was no disc in the box

disc would not play
