00:01:37,263 --> 00:01:41,393
<i>My father's name was John Kinsella.</i>
<i>It's an Irish name.</i>

3
00:01:42,018 --> 00:01:44,270
<i>He was born in North Dakota in 1896...</i>

4
00:01:44,396 --> 00:01:45,939
<i>...and never saw a big city...</i>

5
00:01:46,064 --> 00:01:49,317
<i>...until he came back from France in 1918.</i>

6
00:01:49,984 --> 00:01:53,863
<i>He settled in Chicago, where he learned</i>
<i>to live and die with the White Sox.</i>

7
00:01:54,364 --> 00:01:57,283
<i>Died a little</i>
<i>when they lost the 1919 World Series...</i>

8
00:01:57,992 --> 00:02:00,745
<i>...died a lot the following summer</i>
<i>when eight teammates...</i>

9
00:02:00,870 --> 00:02:03,123
<i>...were accused of throwing that Series.</i>

10
00:02:03,456 --> 00:02:06,710
<i>He played some in the minors,</i>
<i>but nothing came of it.</i>

11
00:02:07,293 --> 00:02:09,212
<i>Moved to Brooklyn in '35...</i>

12
00:02:09,546 --> 00:02:11,548
<i>...married Mom in '38...</i>

13
00:02:11,673 --> 00:02:14,175
<i>...was already an old man</i>
<i>at the naval yards...</i>

14
00:02:14,384 --> 00:02:16,386
<i>...when I was born in 1952.</i>

15
00:02:17,345 --> 00:02:19,222
<i>My name's Ray Kinsella.</i>

16
00:02:19,597 --> 00:02:24,060
<i>Mom died when I was 3,</i>
<i>and I suppose Dad did the best he could.</i>

17
00:02:24,352 --> 00:02:29,482
<i>Instead of Mother Goose, I was put to bed</i>
<i>to stories of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig...</i>

18
00:02:29,607 --> 00:02:32,152
<i>...and the great Shoeless Joe Jackson.</i>

19
00:02:32,777 --> 00:02:36,489
<i>Dad was a Yankees fan then,</i>
<i>so I rooted for Brooklyn.</i>

20
00:02:36,614 --> 00:02:41,327
<i>But in '58, the Dodgers moved away,</i>
<i>so we had to find other reasons to fight.</i>

21
00:02:41,536 --> 00:02:42,579
<i>We did.</i>

22
00:02:42,787 --> 00:02:44,789
<i>When it came time to go to college...</i>

23
00:02:44,914 --> 00:02:47,292
<i>...I picked the farthest</i>
<i>from home I could find.</i>

24
00:02:48,793 --> 00:02:52,672
<i>This drove him up the wall,</i>
<i>which, I suppose, was the point.</i>

25
00:02:53,256 --> 00:02:57,302
<i>Officially my major was English,</i>
<i>but really it was the '60s.</i>

26
00:02:57,802 --> 00:03:00,180
<i>I marched, I smoked some grass...</i>

27
00:03:00,472 --> 00:03:03,850
<i>...I tried to like sitar music,</i>
<i>and I met Annie.</i>

28
00:03:04,726 --> 00:03:08,104
<i>The only thing we had in common</i>
<i>was that she came from Iowa...</i>

29
00:03:08,229 --> 00:03:10,065
<i>...and I'd once heard of Iowa.</i>

30
00:03:11,107 --> 00:03:13,318
<i>After graduation,</i>
<i>we moved to the Midwest...</i>

31
00:03:13,443 --> 00:03:16,112
<i>...and stayed with her family</i>
<i>as long as we could.</i>

32
00:03:16,237 --> 00:03:18,156
<i>Almost a full afternoon.</i>

33
00:03:19,115 --> 00:03:21,910
<i>Annie and I got married in June of '74.</i>

34
00:03:22,285 --> 00:03:24,120
<i>Dad died that fall.</i>

35
00:03:24,788 --> 00:03:27,082
<i>A few years later, Karin was born.</i>

36
00:03:27,207 --> 00:03:29,376
<i>She smelled weird,</i>
<i>but we loved her anyway.</i>

37
00:03:30,085 --> 00:03:33,963
<i>Then Annie got the crazy idea</i>
<i>that she could talk me into buying a farm.</i>

38
00:03:35,090 --> 00:03:38,677
<i>I'm 36 years old, I love my family,</i>
<i>I love baseball...</i>

39
00:03:38,802 --> 00:03:41,388
<i>...and I'm about to become a farmer.</i>

40
00:03:42,013 --> 00:03:44,224
<i>But until I heard the voice...</i>

41
00:03:44,766 --> 00:03:48,019
<i>...I'd never done a crazy thing</i>
<i>in my whole life.</i>

42
00:04:25,348 --> 00:04:28,685
<i>If you build it, he will come.</i>

43
00:04:47,662 --> 00:04:50,999
<i>If you build it, he will come.</i>

44
00:04:59,841 --> 00:05:01,217
Hey, Annie!

45
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,471
- Annie, what was that?
- What was what?

46
00:05:06,681 --> 00:05:09,142
That voice just now. What was it?

47
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,356
We didn't hear anything.

48
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:19,611
All right.

49
00:05:22,864 --> 00:05:26,201
<i>If you build it, he will come.</i>

50
00:05:31,623 --> 00:05:34,793
- Okay, you must have heard that!
- Sorry.

51
00:05:35,293 --> 00:05:37,379
Hey, come on in to dinner.

52
00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:39,422
Let's go, pumpkin.

53
00:05:59,150 --> 00:06:01,403
Is there a sound truck on the highway?

54
00:06:01,528 --> 00:06:04,406
Nope. Hey, Karin, dinner's ready!

55
00:06:05,448 --> 00:06:07,826
- Kids with a radio?
- Nope.

56
00:06:08,702 --> 00:06:12,330
- Are you really hearing voices?
- Just one.

57
00:06:13,790 --> 00:06:15,250
What did it say?

58
00:06:16,751 --> 00:06:18,878
"If you build it, he will come."

59
00:06:22,132 --> 00:06:25,760
- If you build what, who will come?
- He didn't say.

60
00:06:27,220 --> 00:06:30,473
- I hate it when that happens.
- Me, too.

61
00:06:44,988 --> 00:06:48,324
<i>If you build it, he will come.</i>

62
00:07:02,255 --> 00:07:05,133
Build what? What is this?

63
00:07:09,888 --> 00:07:11,639
It's okay, honey.

64
00:07:12,557 --> 00:07:15,101
I'm just talking to the corn field.

65
00:07:19,522 --> 00:07:21,816
<i>Anyway, I was walking</i>
<i>down along the street...</i>

66
00:07:21,941 --> 00:07:24,235
<i>...and I heard this voice saying...</i>

67
00:07:24,361 --> 00:07:26,029
<i>..."Good evening, Mr. Dowd."</i>

68
00:07:26,154 --> 00:07:28,573
<i>Well, I turned around...</i>

69
00:07:29,574 --> 00:07:33,286
<i>...and here was this big six-foot rabbit</i>
<i>leaning up against the lamppost.</i>

70
00:07:37,749 --> 00:07:41,961
- Why did you do that? It was funny.
- Trust me. It's not funny.

71
00:07:42,212 --> 00:07:44,589
The man is sick. Very sick.

72
00:07:44,714 --> 00:07:47,008
Honey, get your book bag. Let's go!

73
00:07:47,133 --> 00:07:51,012
I'll take her today.
I've got some errands to do in town.

74
00:07:51,638 --> 00:07:52,681
Far-out.

75
00:07:57,727 --> 00:08:02,107
- What if the voice calls while you're gone?
- Take a message.

76
00:08:02,816 --> 00:08:04,901
- 'Bye.
- 'Bye.

77
00:08:05,276 --> 00:08:06,319
'Bye.

78
00:08:08,571 --> 00:08:11,116
In all those years, did you ever...

79
00:08:11,658 --> 00:08:14,994
It's just I've heard
that sometimes farmers in the field...

80
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,622
They hear things. You know, voices.

81
00:08:17,747 --> 00:08:21,835
- You hearing voices?
- No. It's just I heard some farmers do.

82
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:26,381
I, of course, don't, so I was wondering
if I was doing something wrong.

83
00:08:28,466 --> 00:08:31,136
Did you ever hear voices out there?

84
00:08:31,261 --> 00:08:34,764
- Who's hearing voices?
- Ray is. Out in the fields.

85
00:08:34,889 --> 00:08:36,266
No, I'm not.

86
00:08:37,017 --> 00:08:38,018
I'm...

87
00:08:41,062 --> 00:08:42,605
Noises.

88
00:08:42,897 --> 00:08:44,983
That darned tractor...

89
00:08:45,817 --> 00:08:49,446
I'm just going to get some 3-in-1oil.
That ought to do it.

90
00:08:50,113 --> 00:08:52,866
Nice talking to you.

91
00:09:20,643 --> 00:09:23,438
<i>If you build it, he will come.</i>

92
00:09:23,772 --> 00:09:26,900
All right, that's it! Who the...

93
00:09:28,276 --> 00:09:30,987
Who are you? What do you want from me?

94
00:09:31,154 --> 00:09:32,197
Son of a bitch.

95
00:09:32,322 --> 00:09:35,658
<i>If you build it, he will come.</i>

96
00:09:37,577 --> 00:09:39,204
If you build it...

97
00:09:47,837 --> 00:09:49,381
If you build it...

98
00:09:56,680 --> 00:09:57,931
...he will come.

99
00:10:26,167 --> 00:10:28,920
You don't suppose
this is like an acid flashback?

100
00:10:30,171 --> 00:10:31,339
I never took acid.

101
00:10:31,423 --> 00:10:34,718
Maybe you will someday.
It's like a flash-forward.

102
00:10:35,593 --> 00:10:37,137
Annie, there's more.

103
00:10:37,220 --> 00:10:39,931
Honey, why don't you eat a little bit?

104
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:45,186
I think I know what
"If you build it, he will come" means.

105
00:10:45,311 --> 00:10:47,981
Why do I not think
this is such a good thing?

106
00:10:48,815 --> 00:10:52,902
I think it means
that if I build a baseball field out there...

107
00:10:53,862 --> 00:10:57,699
...Shoeless Joe Jackson
will come back and play ball again.

108
00:10:59,451 --> 00:11:00,910
You're kidding?

109
00:11:08,793 --> 00:11:09,794
You're kidding.

110
00:11:12,797 --> 00:11:15,216
Boy, I thought my family was crazy...

111
00:11:15,342 --> 00:11:17,719
...but this is the craziest thing
I've ever heard.

112
00:11:17,844 --> 00:11:19,304
I know it's totally nuts.

113
00:11:19,387 --> 00:11:23,266
- I mean, Shoeless Joe!
- He's dead. Died in '51. He's dead.

114
00:11:23,391 --> 00:11:26,061
- They suspended him, right?
- Right.

115
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:29,773
- He's still dead?
- As far as I know.

116
00:11:33,443 --> 00:11:35,612
Did you know Babe Ruth copied his swing?

117
00:11:37,739 --> 00:11:39,908
If I did, I've forgotten it.

118
00:11:45,747 --> 00:11:48,708
He was supposed to be
so graceful and agile.

119
00:11:49,417 --> 00:11:52,128
I'd actually like to see him play again...

120
00:11:52,253 --> 00:11:55,507
...to let him play, to right an old wrong.

121
00:11:55,632 --> 00:11:58,301
Wait. Wait a minute.

122
00:12:00,637 --> 00:12:05,016
- Are you actually thinking of doing this?
- No.

123
00:12:06,393 --> 00:12:10,063
I can't think of one good reason
why I should, but...

124
00:12:18,363 --> 00:12:22,158
I'm 36. I have a wife,
a child, and a mortgage...

125
00:12:22,283 --> 00:12:25,161
...and I'm scared to death
I'm turning into my father.

126
00:12:26,621 --> 00:12:28,540
What does he have to do with all this?

127
00:12:30,542 --> 00:12:33,211
I never forgave him for getting old.

128
00:12:36,047 --> 00:12:38,925
By the time he was as old as I am now...

129
00:12:39,426 --> 00:12:41,177
...he was ancient.

130
00:12:43,513 --> 00:12:48,643
He must have had dreams,
but he never did anything about them.

131
00:12:49,894 --> 00:12:53,106
For all I know,
he may have even heard voices, too...

132
00:12:54,441 --> 00:12:57,110
...but he sure didn't listen to them.

133
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,406
The man never did one spontaneous thing
in all the years I knew him.

134
00:13:02,782 --> 00:13:05,952
I'm afraid of that happening to me...

135
00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:10,331
...and something tells me
this may be my last chance...

136
00:13:10,457 --> 00:13:12,417
...to do something about it.

137
00:13:15,628 --> 00:13:17,797
I want to build that field.

138
00:13:20,133 --> 00:13:21,718
Do you think I'm crazy?

139
00:13:22,844 --> 00:13:23,970
Yes.

140
00:13:28,308 --> 00:13:32,896
But I also think
if you really feel you should do this...

141
00:13:35,482 --> 00:13:37,609
...then you should do it.

142
00:13:51,915 --> 00:13:55,794
- What the hell is he doing?
- He's plowing under his corn.

143
00:13:56,336 --> 00:13:57,295
Why?

144
00:14:03,468 --> 00:14:07,097
Ty Cobb called him
the greatest left fielder of all time.

145
00:14:07,347 --> 00:14:11,393
He said his glove
was the place where triples go to die.

146
00:14:11,851 --> 00:14:13,895
- Could he hit?
- Could he hit?

147
00:14:14,020 --> 00:14:16,815
Lifetime average .356,
third highest in history.

148
00:14:17,107 --> 00:14:18,900
Why'd they call him "Shoeless Joe"?

149
00:14:19,901 --> 00:14:21,277
When he was in the minors...

150
00:14:21,403 --> 00:14:24,197
...he bought a new pair of spikes
and hurt his feet.

151
00:14:24,322 --> 00:14:28,076
<i>In the 6th inning, he took them off</i>
<i>and played in his socks.</i>

152
00:14:28,201 --> 00:14:32,622
<i>The players kidded him, called him</i>
<i>"Shoeless Joe" and the name stuck.</i>

153
00:14:33,540 --> 00:14:35,208
He's going to lose his farm.

154
00:14:35,333 --> 00:14:36,501
Damned fool.

155
00:14:36,626 --> 00:14:39,879
<i>Then in 1919,</i>
<i>his team the Chicago White Sox...</i>

156
00:14:40,005 --> 00:14:42,090
<i>...threw the World Series.</i>

157
00:14:42,215 --> 00:14:45,844
- <i>What's "threw"?</i>
- <i>It means they lost it on purpose.</i>

158
00:14:45,969 --> 00:14:48,013
<i>Gamblers paid them to.</i>

159
00:14:48,138 --> 00:14:50,348
<i>Except Shoeless Joe.</i>

160
00:14:50,682 --> 00:14:54,269
<i>He did take their money,</i>
<i>but nobody ever proved he did one thing...</i>

161
00:14:54,394 --> 00:14:55,979
<i>...to lose those games.</i>

162
00:14:57,522 --> 00:15:01,568
If he threw it, how do you explain
that he hit .375 for the Series...

163
00:15:01,693 --> 00:15:03,486
...and committed no errors?

164
00:15:03,611 --> 00:15:04,612
I can't.

165
00:15:04,738 --> 00:15:07,282
Twelve hits including
the Series' only home run...

166
00:15:07,407 --> 00:15:09,701
...and they said he's trying to lose?

167
00:15:09,826 --> 00:15:10,952
It's ridiculous.

168
00:15:11,619 --> 00:15:14,581
<i>The commissioner of baseball</i>
<i>suspended eight of the players...</i>

169
00:15:14,706 --> 00:15:17,709
<i>...including the great Shoeless Joe</i>
<i>Jackson, for life.</i>

170
00:15:17,834 --> 00:15:19,461
<i>What's "suspend"?</i>

171
00:15:20,545 --> 00:15:23,715
<i>It means they never</i>
<i>let him play the game again.</i>

172
00:15:26,551 --> 00:15:28,636
My father said he saw him years later...

173
00:15:28,762 --> 00:15:33,058
...playing under a made-up name
in some 10th-rate league in Carolina.

174
00:15:33,391 --> 00:15:36,686
He'd put on 50 pounds,
and his spring was gone from his step...

175
00:15:36,811 --> 00:15:38,688
...but he could still hit.

176
00:15:39,606 --> 00:15:42,984
Dad used to say
nobody could hit like Shoeless Joe.

177
00:15:44,402 --> 00:15:47,238
I think that's the first time
I've ever seen you smile...

178
00:15:47,364 --> 00:15:49,741
...when you mentioned your father.

179
00:16:03,588 --> 00:16:06,883
I have just created something
totally illogical.

180
00:16:10,512 --> 00:16:12,722
That's what I like about it.

181
00:16:15,225 --> 00:16:17,018
Am I completely nuts?

182
00:16:19,813 --> 00:16:21,481
Not completely.

183
00:16:22,857 --> 00:16:25,318
It's a good baseball field, Ray.

184
00:16:26,236 --> 00:16:28,571
It's kind of pretty, isn't it?

185
00:16:51,511 --> 00:16:52,804
Any sign?

186
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,351
Something's going to happen out there.

187
00:16:59,102 --> 00:17:00,562
I can feel it.

188
00:17:20,290 --> 00:17:23,960
<i>So, for the veteran southpaw,</i>
<i>his summer of woes continues.</i>

189
00:17:24,210 --> 00:17:26,087
<i>That's four straight hits in the inning.</i>

190
00:17:26,212 --> 00:17:28,923
Daddy, what's a "southpaw"?

191
00:17:31,634 --> 00:17:33,845
It means a left-handed pitcher, honey.

192
00:17:35,847 --> 00:17:38,350
- So how bad is it?
- Well.

193
00:17:39,976 --> 00:17:44,064
Considering how much less acreage
we have for corn, I say we'll probably...

194
00:17:45,523 --> 00:17:47,400
...almost break even.

195
00:17:51,571 --> 00:17:54,366
We used up all our savings on that field.

196
00:17:54,991 --> 00:17:57,577
- Daddy?
- Just a minute, Karin.

197
00:18:02,248 --> 00:18:05,293
So what are you saying?
We can't keep the field?

198
00:18:08,129 --> 00:18:10,799
Makes it real hard to keep the farm.

199
00:18:15,470 --> 00:18:17,681
- Daddy.
- In a minute, Karin!

200
00:18:18,932 --> 00:18:21,017
There's a man out there on your lawn.

201
00:19:08,815 --> 00:19:12,360
I'll put up some coffee.
Why don't you go on outside?

202
00:21:10,437 --> 00:21:11,563
Sorry.

203
00:21:15,233 --> 00:21:17,402
I'll get some out there.

204
00:21:48,099 --> 00:21:49,225
Hi.

205
00:21:51,227 --> 00:21:52,479
Ray Kinsella.

206
00:21:54,731 --> 00:21:56,274
Joe Jackson.

207
00:22:24,469 --> 00:22:27,347
I bet it's good to be playing again.

208
00:22:34,145 --> 00:22:36,606
Getting thrown out of baseball...

209
00:22:38,108 --> 00:22:40,944
...was like having part of me amputated.

210
00:22:42,862 --> 00:22:45,156
I've heard that old men wake up...

211
00:22:45,281 --> 00:22:49,369
...and scratch itchy legs
that have been dust for over 50 years.

212
00:22:50,245 --> 00:22:51,705
That was me.

213
00:22:53,289 --> 00:22:55,291
I'd wake up at night...

214
00:22:56,376 --> 00:22:59,504
...with the smell
of the ballpark in my nose...

215
00:23:00,380 --> 00:23:03,383
...with the cool of the grass on my feet...

216
00:23:05,677 --> 00:23:07,762
...the thrill of the grass.

217
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:16,980
Can you pitch?

218
00:23:18,982 --> 00:23:20,108
Yeah.

219
00:23:21,860 --> 00:23:23,028
Not bad.

220
00:23:39,044 --> 00:23:42,630
- Don't we need a catcher?
- Not if you get it near the plate.

221
00:23:44,674 --> 00:23:45,800
Right.

222
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,940
I'm pitching to Shoeless Joe Jackson.

223
00:24:10,075 --> 00:24:11,076
Nice hit.

224
00:24:26,299 --> 00:24:28,009
See if you can hit my curve.

225
00:24:37,936 --> 00:24:42,107
- You can hit the curve ball.
- Put one right here.

226
00:24:44,317 --> 00:24:45,443
Right.

227
00:24:59,457 --> 00:25:01,418
Right, you're a low-ball hitter.

228
00:25:02,085 --> 00:25:04,295
Man, I did love this game.

229
00:25:06,756 --> 00:25:09,050
I'd have played for food money.

230
00:25:10,301 --> 00:25:14,139
It was the game, the sounds, the smells.

231
00:25:16,349 --> 00:25:20,812
Did you ever hold a ball
or a glove to your face?

232
00:25:21,896 --> 00:25:22,897
Yeah.

233
00:25:23,481 --> 00:25:27,402
I used to love traveling on the trains
from town to town.

234
00:25:29,029 --> 00:25:33,241
The hotels, brass spittoons in the lobbies...

235
00:25:33,366 --> 00:25:35,702
...brass beds in the rooms.

236
00:25:40,123 --> 00:25:41,791
It was the crowd...

237
00:25:43,418 --> 00:25:46,713
...rising to their feet
when the ball was hit deep.

238
00:25:54,637 --> 00:25:55,930
I'd play for nothing.

239
00:26:03,855 --> 00:26:05,315
It's my family.

240
00:26:09,194 --> 00:26:10,779
What's with the lights?

241
00:26:11,863 --> 00:26:14,199
All the stadiums have them now.

242
00:26:14,324 --> 00:26:17,952
- Even Wrigley Field.
- It's harder to see the ball.

243
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,706
The owners found that more people
can attend night games.

244
00:26:22,374 --> 00:26:23,541
Owners.

245
00:26:37,639 --> 00:26:40,684
Mr. Jackson, this is my wife Annie
and my daughter Karin.

246
00:26:41,476 --> 00:26:42,644
Ma'am.

247
00:26:44,688 --> 00:26:46,314
Are you a ghost?

248
00:26:48,983 --> 00:26:51,486
- She's kidding.
- That's okay.

249
00:26:52,904 --> 00:26:56,616
- What do you think?
- You look real to me.

250
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:58,785
Then I guess I'm real.

251
00:26:59,744 --> 00:27:01,830
Would you like to come inside?

252
00:27:02,580 --> 00:27:05,000
Thanks. I don't think I can.

253
00:27:14,175 --> 00:27:15,677
Can I come back again?

254
00:27:16,970 --> 00:27:20,598
Yeah. I built this for you.

255
00:27:24,561 --> 00:27:26,646
There are others, you know.

256
00:27:28,314 --> 00:27:31,609
There were eight of us.
It would really mean a lot to them.

257
00:27:32,277 --> 00:27:36,823
Yeah. Anytime. They're all welcome here.

258
00:27:46,583 --> 00:27:49,377
Is this heaven?

259
00:27:50,795 --> 00:27:51,921
No.

260
00:27:54,090 --> 00:27:55,091
It's Iowa.

261
00:28:02,349 --> 00:28:05,477
- Where's he going?
- I don't know.

262
00:28:18,365 --> 00:28:19,949
We're keeping this field.

263
00:28:21,576 --> 00:28:23,370
You bet your ass we are.

264
00:28:24,662 --> 00:28:29,417
- You're going to lose your farm, pal.
- How can you lose something so big?

265
00:28:29,584 --> 00:28:33,129
- He misplaced the house once.
- Yeah, but it turned up two days later.

266
00:28:33,672 --> 00:28:35,882
Come on. Ray?

267
00:28:36,132 --> 00:28:39,386
This stupid baseball field will bankrupt you.
Everybody knows it.

268
00:28:40,095 --> 00:28:42,972
If you default on your loan,
you'll lose everything.

269
00:28:43,098 --> 00:28:45,934
If you sell now,
my partners will give you a fair price.

270
00:28:46,351 --> 00:28:49,813
- Thanks, Mark, but no.
- No.

271
00:28:50,313 --> 00:28:52,774
What are you holding onto this place for?

272
00:28:52,899 --> 00:28:56,069
- You never liked Iowa.
- That's not true.

273
00:28:56,194 --> 00:28:59,698
You never liked farming. It is true.
You don't know about farming.

274
00:28:59,823 --> 00:29:02,742
I know a lot about farming.
More than you think.

275
00:29:02,867 --> 00:29:06,079
Well, then how could you plow
under your major crop?

276
00:29:07,372 --> 00:29:08,498
What's a crop?

277
00:29:10,792 --> 00:29:14,004
- Come on. That is funny.
- "What's a crop?"

278
00:29:14,921 --> 00:29:18,633
- Daddy, the baseball game is on.
- Excuse us.

279
00:29:21,136 --> 00:29:22,303
Excuse us.

280
00:29:27,100 --> 00:29:29,019
Annie, I don't believe this guy.

281
00:29:29,144 --> 00:29:32,105
I'm trying to bail him out,
and he leaves to watch television.

282
00:29:32,981 --> 00:29:35,025
- He used to be so normal.
- Yeah.

283
00:30:20,820 --> 00:30:22,822
Hoy! Hoy! Hoy!

284
00:30:23,782 --> 00:30:25,241
All right!

285
00:30:27,243 --> 00:30:28,411
Watch Joe's feet.

286
00:30:29,371 --> 00:30:33,208
A good left fielder
knows what pitch is coming.

287
00:30:33,625 --> 00:30:37,379
He can tell from the bat's angle
which way the ball's heading.

288
00:30:40,799 --> 00:30:43,843
- Show off!
- Stick it in your ear, Gandil.

289
00:30:45,220 --> 00:30:49,057
If you'd have run like that against Detroit,
I'd have won 20 games that year!

290
00:30:49,683 --> 00:30:53,436
For Pete's sakes, Cicotte,
that was 68 years ago. Give it up!

291
00:30:54,771 --> 00:30:57,816
Hey! You guys want to play ball or what?

292
00:30:58,650 --> 00:31:01,903
- Muscle-bound jerk.
- Oh, yeah? At least I got muscles.

293
00:31:02,112 --> 00:31:06,366
- At most, you got muscles.
- Come on, asshole! Pitch!

294
00:31:06,700 --> 00:31:08,910
Weaver, be nice.

295
00:31:13,123 --> 00:31:16,376
- Sorry, kid!
- It's okay. I don't mind.

296
00:31:17,043 --> 00:31:19,879
- All right, Karin.
- Hey, hey, hey!

297
00:31:33,893 --> 00:31:35,770
Mom and everybody are leaving now.

298
00:31:38,481 --> 00:31:41,818
Oh, well, it was...
You know. Thanks for coming.

299
00:31:44,529 --> 00:31:46,906
Think about what I said.
I'm just trying to help.

300
00:31:47,407 --> 00:31:48,408
I know.

301
00:31:48,950 --> 00:31:50,785
Thought you were watching some game.

302
00:31:51,911 --> 00:31:54,414
It's not really a game.
It's more like practice.

303
00:31:59,461 --> 00:32:02,172
There are only eight of them.
They can't play a real game.

304
00:32:05,842 --> 00:32:09,554
- Eight of what?
- Them.

305
00:32:13,391 --> 00:32:15,101
- Who "them"?
- Them them.

306
00:32:15,894 --> 00:32:19,689
- You don't see them?
- Karin, honey, what are you watching?

307
00:32:20,565 --> 00:32:23,568
- The baseball men.
- Baseball men?

308
00:32:26,863 --> 00:32:30,408
- Do you see the baseball men right now?
- Of course, I do.

309
00:32:34,537 --> 00:32:35,955
You really don't see them?

310
00:32:36,081 --> 00:32:40,377
I don't think it's very polite
to try to make other people feel stupid.

311
00:32:41,002 --> 00:32:44,589
Mom, wait a minute. Wait a minute.

312
00:32:44,923 --> 00:32:47,842
Dee, wait. You don't see these people?

313
00:32:48,051 --> 00:32:49,678
It's not funny, Annie.

314
00:33:03,900 --> 00:33:05,360
They couldn't see it.

315
00:33:06,820 --> 00:33:08,780
This is really interesting.

316
00:33:12,826 --> 00:33:14,285
Hey, Ray, look at this.

317
00:33:14,411 --> 00:33:17,997
68 years since I wore this uniform,
still fits me like a glove.

318
00:33:19,249 --> 00:33:21,418
You must keep in pretty good shape.

319
00:33:22,502 --> 00:33:24,462
Now let's see, I died in '70.

320
00:33:24,671 --> 00:33:28,216
That means I haven't had
a cigarette in 18 years.

321
00:33:28,717 --> 00:33:30,927
- You don't smoke, do you?
- No.

322
00:33:31,261 --> 00:33:34,681
Karin! Ray! Dinner!

323
00:33:35,807 --> 00:33:38,018
"Ray, dinner."

324
00:33:38,768 --> 00:33:42,355
- All right.
- Come on. Let's hit the showers.

325
00:33:42,939 --> 00:33:44,399
See you later.

326
00:33:49,487 --> 00:33:51,114
See you, guys.

327
00:33:57,579 --> 00:34:00,623
"I'm melting! I'm melting!"

328
00:34:01,332 --> 00:34:03,126
Come on, you knucklehead.

329
00:34:04,836 --> 00:34:07,047
That is so cool.

330
00:34:11,593 --> 00:34:14,596
- <i>Ease his pain.</i>
- What?

331
00:34:16,848 --> 00:34:19,851
I'm sorry. What?
I didn't understand. What?

332
00:34:20,518 --> 00:34:22,562
<i>Ease his pain.</i>

333
00:34:23,521 --> 00:34:27,400
"Ease his pain."
What the hell does that mean?

334
00:34:27,525 --> 00:34:30,111
"Ease his pain"? What pain?

335
00:34:30,862 --> 00:34:33,031
All right. Whose pain?

336
00:34:39,454 --> 00:34:40,747
Thanks a lot.

337
00:34:42,457 --> 00:34:43,917
Thanks a lot.

338
00:34:51,383 --> 00:34:54,636
Come on, honey, wash up.
We got the PTA meeting after dinner.

339
00:34:54,761 --> 00:34:56,680
They're talking about banning books again.

340
00:34:56,805 --> 00:35:01,643
Really subversive books like
<i>The Wizard of Oz, The Diary of Anne Frank.</i>

341
00:35:01,810 --> 00:35:04,479
- What happened to you?
- The voice is back.

342
00:35:04,729 --> 00:35:08,525
Oh, Lord! You don't have to build
a football field now, do you?

343
00:35:08,650 --> 00:35:10,527
He said, "Ease his pain."

344
00:35:10,652 --> 00:35:14,280
- Ease whose pain?
- I asked him. He wouldn't tell me.

345
00:35:14,572 --> 00:35:17,033
- Shoeless Joe's?
- I don't think so.

346
00:35:18,159 --> 00:35:20,745
- One of the other players?
- I don't think so.

347
00:35:20,870 --> 00:35:25,458
This is a very nonspecific voice out there,
and he's starting to piss me off.

348
00:35:28,003 --> 00:35:30,964
I was having a fun day today. A good day.

349
00:35:31,548 --> 00:35:32,841
Want a fry?

350
00:35:38,179 --> 00:35:43,935
And I say smut and filth like this
has no place in our schools.

351
00:35:48,606 --> 00:35:51,526
Fascist. I'd like to ease her pain.

352
00:35:52,402 --> 00:35:56,322
Mrs. Kessinik, that book
you're waving about is hardly smut.

353
00:35:56,865 --> 00:36:01,327
It's considered by many critics
to be the classic novel about the 1960s.

354
00:36:01,494 --> 00:36:05,707
- It's pornography!
- No. The Supreme Court says it's not.

355
00:36:05,957 --> 00:36:08,960
- And it's author, Mr. Mann...
- Is sick!

356
00:36:09,210 --> 00:36:11,588
Terence Mann is a Pulitzer Prize winner.

357
00:36:11,755 --> 00:36:15,175
He's widely regarded
as the finest satirist of his time.

358
00:36:15,300 --> 00:36:18,762
Yeah, well, I think he's a pervert!
Probably a communist, too!

359
00:36:20,013 --> 00:36:22,140
What planet are these people from?

360
00:36:22,223 --> 00:36:25,769
The so-called novels of Terence Mann...

361
00:36:25,977 --> 00:36:29,064
...endorse promiscuity, godlessness...

362
00:36:29,189 --> 00:36:33,693
...the mongrelization of the races,
and disrespect to high-ranking officers...

363
00:36:33,860 --> 00:36:35,820
...of the United States Army.

364
00:36:37,364 --> 00:36:39,616
And that's why
right-thinking school boards...

365
00:36:39,824 --> 00:36:44,329
...all across the country
have been banning this man's s-h-i-t...

366
00:36:44,746 --> 00:36:46,831
...since 1969.

367
00:36:49,084 --> 00:36:50,627
Terence Mann?

368
00:36:55,048 --> 00:36:59,094
You know why he stopped writing books?
Because he masturbates.

369
00:37:01,805 --> 00:37:03,056
Excuse me, madam.

370
00:37:04,724 --> 00:37:05,892
Excuse me.

371
00:37:08,186 --> 00:37:11,731
Terence Mann was a warm
and gentle voice of reason...

372
00:37:11,856 --> 00:37:13,441
...during a time of great madness.

373
00:37:15,402 --> 00:37:18,321
He coined the phrase,
"Make love, not war."

374
00:37:19,322 --> 00:37:23,410
While other people chanted, "Burn,
baby, burn," he was talking about love...

375
00:37:23,493 --> 00:37:25,453
...and peace and understanding.

376
00:37:25,912 --> 00:37:30,250
I cherished every one of his books,
and I dearly wish he had written more.

377
00:37:31,042 --> 00:37:35,255
Maybe if you had experienced
even a little bit of the '60s...

378
00:37:36,339 --> 00:37:38,133
...you might feel the same way, too.

379
00:37:40,301 --> 00:37:43,054
I experienced the '60s.

380
00:37:43,972 --> 00:37:47,559
No, you had two '50s
and moved right into the '70s.

381
00:37:48,435 --> 00:37:49,853
Annie, look at this.

382
00:37:50,687 --> 00:37:54,274
Your husband plowed under his corn
and built a baseball field.

383
00:37:55,984 --> 00:38:00,780
- Now, there's an intelligent response.
- The weirdo.

384
00:38:03,033 --> 00:38:05,952
- Annie.
- Honey, it's all right. I'll be cool.

385
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,665
At least he is not a book-burner,
you Nazi cow.

386
00:38:13,793 --> 00:38:17,547
At least I'm not married to the biggest
horse's ass in three counties.

387
00:38:18,048 --> 00:38:20,467
All right, Beulah,
do you want to step outside?

388
00:38:21,384 --> 00:38:22,635
Fine!

389
00:38:26,681 --> 00:38:31,561
All right, I've got a better idea.
Let's take a vote. Who's for Eva Braun?

390
00:38:32,187 --> 00:38:33,813
Who wants to burn books?

391
00:38:34,898 --> 00:38:39,402
Who wants to spit on the Constitution of
the United States of America? Anybody?

392
00:38:45,950 --> 00:38:49,204
All right.
Now, who's for the Bill of Rights?

393
00:38:49,371 --> 00:38:52,749
Who thinks freedom
is a pretty darn good thing?

394
00:38:53,708 --> 00:38:56,670
Come on! Let's see those hands!

395
00:39:00,215 --> 00:39:01,716
Who thinks we have to stand up...

396
00:39:01,841 --> 00:39:05,595
...to the kind of censorship
they had under Stalin?

397
00:39:19,776 --> 00:39:24,197
All right. There you go.
America, I love you. I'm proud of you.

398
00:39:24,781 --> 00:39:26,616
- We got to go.
- We got to go.

399
00:39:26,741 --> 00:39:28,034
This is great!

400
00:39:29,035 --> 00:39:31,079
I figured it out.

401
00:39:32,789 --> 00:39:34,124
Was that great, or what?

402
00:39:34,249 --> 00:39:36,710
- I figured it out.
- It's just like the '60s again!

403
00:39:36,835 --> 00:39:39,170
- I figured it out.
- Step outside, you Nazi cow.

404
00:39:39,295 --> 00:39:44,467
- I know whose pain I'm supposed to ease.
- What?

405
00:39:44,718 --> 00:39:47,679
I just halted the spread
of neofascism in America...

406
00:39:47,804 --> 00:39:49,681
- Terence Mann.
- What about him?

407
00:39:49,806 --> 00:39:52,183
- That's whose pain.
- How do you know that?

408
00:39:52,350 --> 00:39:53,351
I just know.

409
00:39:53,518 --> 00:39:55,729
I was right about building the field,
wasn't I?

410
00:39:55,854 --> 00:39:57,731
- Yes. What's his pain?
- I don't know.

411
00:39:57,814 --> 00:40:00,567
- How are you supposed to ease it?
- I don't know.

412
00:40:01,609 --> 00:40:04,612
Look, he's my favorite writer, too...

413
00:40:04,821 --> 00:40:07,907
...but what's Terence Mann
got to do with baseball?

414
00:40:35,435 --> 00:40:39,397
It's incredible. By the early '70s,
the guy decides people have become...

415
00:40:39,522 --> 00:40:41,983
...either too extremist
or too apathetic to listen.

416
00:40:42,108 --> 00:40:48,073
So he stops writing books,
he starts writing poetry about whales...

417
00:40:48,198 --> 00:40:51,493
...and then he starts fooling around
with a home computer.

418
00:40:51,618 --> 00:40:53,495
Know what he does now?

419
00:40:53,620 --> 00:40:56,122
He writes software
for interactive children's videos.

420
00:40:56,206 --> 00:41:00,126
They teach kids
how to resolve their conflicts peacefully.

421
00:41:00,460 --> 00:41:03,838
- God, what an amazing guy.
- What's that got to do with baseball?

422
00:41:04,381 --> 00:41:06,758
In the April 1962 issue of <i>Jet</i> magazine...

423
00:41:06,883 --> 00:41:10,261
...there's a story called
"This Is Not A Kite."

424
00:41:10,720 --> 00:41:16,184
It's not his best work, but the story's hero
is named John Kinsella.

425
00:41:16,267 --> 00:41:17,852
- My father.
- Wow.

426
00:41:18,978 --> 00:41:20,063
What do you mean, "Wow"?

427
00:41:20,188 --> 00:41:24,567
What should I say? Big wow!
What's it got to do with baseball?

428
00:41:24,693 --> 00:41:25,860
You drive.

429
00:41:31,282 --> 00:41:34,244
Okay, the last interview
he ever gave was in 1973.

430
00:41:34,369 --> 00:41:37,205
- Guess what it's about.
- Some kind of team sport.

431
00:41:37,789 --> 00:41:40,375
The guy was a baseball fanatic.
Listen to this:

432
00:41:40,500 --> 00:41:44,087
"As a child, my earliest recurring dream
was to play at Ebbets Field...

433
00:41:44,170 --> 00:41:46,506
"...with Jackie Robinson
and the Brooklyn Dodgers.

434
00:41:46,631 --> 00:41:49,300
"Of course, it never happened.
The Dodgers left Brooklyn.

435
00:41:49,384 --> 00:41:53,722
"They tore down Ebbets Field,
but even now, I still dream that dream."

436
00:41:54,222 --> 00:41:55,306
That's sad.

437
00:41:57,934 --> 00:42:00,770
The man wrote the best books
of his generation.

438
00:42:01,730 --> 00:42:05,442
He was a pioneer in the civil rights
and the antiwar movement.

439
00:42:05,567 --> 00:42:09,654
He made the cover of <i>Newsweek.</i>
He knew everybody. He did everything.

440
00:42:09,738 --> 00:42:13,658
He helped shape his time.
The guy hung out with The Beatles.

441
00:42:14,034 --> 00:42:16,703
It wasn't enough.
What he missed was baseball.

442
00:42:16,828 --> 00:42:18,747
- Oh, my God!
- What?

443
00:42:18,830 --> 00:42:21,583
As a small boy,
he had a bat named Rosebud.

444
00:42:22,042 --> 00:42:23,668
- Give me that.
- Sorry.

445
00:42:24,294 --> 00:42:27,964
The guy hasn't been
to a baseball game since 1958.

446
00:42:28,465 --> 00:42:32,135
So, to ease his pain, you're supposed
to take him to a ball game.

447
00:42:32,260 --> 00:42:33,261
Yes.

448
00:42:34,763 --> 00:42:37,307
Ray, this is nuttier
than building the baseball field.

449
00:42:37,432 --> 00:42:41,311
No, it's not. It's pretty weird,
but building the field was weirder.

450
00:42:41,436 --> 00:42:42,937
Five, ten percent weirder.

451
00:42:43,063 --> 00:42:45,690
I'm sorry, I'm going to have
to nip this one in the bud.

452
00:42:45,815 --> 00:42:49,069
We're having moderate to heavy
financial difficulties here.

453
00:42:49,194 --> 00:42:52,447
You can't take off for Boston
while we're going broke in Iowa.

454
00:42:52,697 --> 00:42:54,699
This is really new territory for us...

455
00:42:54,824 --> 00:42:57,452
...but we're dealing
with primal forces of nature.

456
00:42:57,577 --> 00:43:00,372
When primal forces of nature tell you
to do something...

457
00:43:00,497 --> 00:43:03,667
...it's not prudent to quibble over details.
- Why do you have to go?

458
00:43:03,792 --> 00:43:07,420
Why can't the voice send somebody else?
How about Shirley MacLaine?

459
00:43:07,587 --> 00:43:11,466
Is she too busy?
What does this have to do with you?

460
00:43:11,591 --> 00:43:13,593
That's what I have to find out.

461
00:43:13,718 --> 00:43:16,054
We are behind on the mortgage.

462
00:43:16,179 --> 00:43:19,307
That field ate up all of our savings.
We could lose this farm.

463
00:43:19,516 --> 00:43:23,019
I won't even stay in motels.
I'll sleep in the car. I'll beg for food.

464
00:43:23,144 --> 00:43:26,106
No. Now, this is too much.

465
00:43:27,649 --> 00:43:31,778
I understand your need to prove
to yourself and to the world...

466
00:43:31,903 --> 00:43:34,864
...you are not turning into your father,
but you have.

467
00:43:34,948 --> 00:43:37,784
You believed in the magic.
It happened. Isn't that enough?

468
00:43:37,909 --> 00:43:40,578
It's more than that.
I know this is totally nuts...

469
00:43:40,662 --> 00:43:43,790
...but there's another reason
I'm supposed to do it.

470
00:43:43,915 --> 00:43:48,086
I feel it as strongly as I've felt anything
in my life. There's a reason.

471
00:43:48,211 --> 00:43:50,797
What? Just tell me what it is.

472
00:43:51,047 --> 00:43:55,135
Something's going to happen at the game.
There's something at Fenway Park.

473
00:43:55,260 --> 00:43:58,513
I got to be there
with Terence Mann to find it out.

474
00:43:59,723 --> 00:44:03,601
Is Fenway the one
with the big green wall in left field?

475
00:44:04,519 --> 00:44:05,770
Yeah.

476
00:44:07,272 --> 00:44:10,275
I dreamt last night
you were at Fenway with Terence Mann.

477
00:44:11,693 --> 00:44:13,903
- Was I sitting on the first base side?
- Yes.

478
00:44:14,404 --> 00:44:16,322
About halfway up on the aisle?

479
00:44:16,406 --> 00:44:18,950
- Yeah. Eating a hot dog.
- Eating a hot dog.

480
00:44:19,034 --> 00:44:22,370
- I had the same dream.
- I'll help you pack.

481
00:44:49,397 --> 00:44:52,108
Hi, I'm Ray Kinsella.

482
00:44:52,776 --> 00:44:54,277
Hi. No.

483
00:44:54,444 --> 00:44:58,907
Hi, I'm Ray Kinsella.
It's a great pleasure to finally get to...

484
00:44:59,240 --> 00:45:01,951
Hi, I'm Ray Kinsella. I'm a big fan of yours.

485
00:45:02,410 --> 00:45:03,328
Hi.

486
00:45:06,831 --> 00:45:10,877
How do you do, Mr. Mann?
I have to take you to a base...

487
00:45:12,295 --> 00:45:16,132
All right, stupid,
put your hands up and get in the trunk.

488
00:45:16,341 --> 00:45:18,051
Good.

489
00:45:20,220 --> 00:45:23,181
He lives right around here.
Do you know him?

490
00:45:23,890 --> 00:45:27,227
He's sort of a tall black man.
I'm a friend of his.

491
00:45:27,727 --> 00:45:32,232
If he was much of a friend,
he'd have given you the directions himself.

492
00:45:34,859 --> 00:45:37,153
That's a good point. Thank you.

493
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:42,784
I don't know where he lives.
Get away from me.

494
00:45:42,909 --> 00:45:47,497
I ain't going to tell you nothing.
Go away. You're a pest.

495
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,170
Two blocks down, right-hand side.

496
00:45:54,295 --> 00:45:57,799
First door that doesn't have
a chicken in the window is his.

497
00:45:57,966 --> 00:45:59,384
No chicken.

498
00:46:44,346 --> 00:46:45,347
Who the hell are you?

499
00:46:49,476 --> 00:46:50,935
Sir, my name's Ray Kinsella.

500
00:47:11,247 --> 00:47:15,251
- We got a learning disability here?
- If I could just have one minute, please.

501
00:47:15,794 --> 00:47:20,048
I can't tell you the secret of life,
and I don't have any answers for you.

502
00:47:20,423 --> 00:47:23,843
I don't give interviews,
and I'm no longer a public figure.

503
00:47:24,094 --> 00:47:27,013
I just want to be left alone, so piss off.

504
00:47:27,931 --> 00:47:29,974
Wait! Wait!

505
00:47:30,684 --> 00:47:32,852
I've come 1,500 miles to see you...

506
00:47:32,977 --> 00:47:36,606
...at the risk of losing my home
and alienating my wife.

507
00:47:36,856 --> 00:47:40,902
All I'm asking is one minute. Please.

508
00:47:45,240 --> 00:47:46,282
One minute.

509
00:47:55,834 --> 00:47:58,712
I understand your desire for privacy...

510
00:47:59,713 --> 00:48:02,674
...and I wouldn't intrude
if this weren't extremely important.

511
00:48:03,216 --> 00:48:06,845
Oh, God. I don't do causes anymore.

512
00:48:07,470 --> 00:48:11,391
This isn't a cause.
I don't need money or an endorsement.

513
00:48:11,766 --> 00:48:13,059
Refreshing.

514
00:48:13,518 --> 00:48:15,520
You once wrote, "There comes a time...

515
00:48:15,645 --> 00:48:18,565
"...when all the cosmic tumblers
have clicked into place...

516
00:48:18,690 --> 00:48:21,568
"...and the universe
opens itself up for a few seconds...

517
00:48:21,776 --> 00:48:23,486
"...to show you what's possible."

518
00:48:24,112 --> 00:48:26,990
- Oh, my God!
- What?

519
00:48:27,449 --> 00:48:30,410
- You're from the '60s.
- Well, yeah. Actually...

520
00:48:31,828 --> 00:48:33,163
Out!

521
00:48:33,288 --> 00:48:36,541
Back to the '60s!
There's no place for you here in the future.

522
00:48:36,666 --> 00:48:38,335
Get back while you still can!

523
00:48:41,629 --> 00:48:44,049
You've changed, you know that?

524
00:48:44,716 --> 00:48:48,887
Yes, I suppose I have.
How about this? Peace, love, dope.

525
00:48:49,012 --> 00:48:50,764
Now get the hell out of here!

526
00:49:35,975 --> 00:49:39,312
- You've really pissed me off.
- Just hold it right there.

527
00:49:39,729 --> 00:49:41,439
I didn't want to do it this way.

528
00:49:41,773 --> 00:49:45,151
- What the hell is that?
- It's a gun, what do you think it is?

529
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,862
- It's your finger.
- No, it's a gun.

530
00:49:48,154 --> 00:49:51,408
- Let me see it.
- I'm not going to show you my gun.

531
00:49:52,033 --> 00:49:55,453
I'm not going to hurt you.
I just need you to come with me...

532
00:49:56,955 --> 00:49:58,039
What are you doing?

533
00:49:58,581 --> 00:50:01,126
I'll beat you with a crowbar
until you go away.

534
00:50:01,418 --> 00:50:03,503
Wait! You can't do that.

535
00:50:03,753 --> 00:50:07,298
There are rules here?
Oh, no. There are no rules here.

536
00:50:08,216 --> 00:50:09,968
You're a pacifist!

537
00:50:14,931 --> 00:50:16,224
Shit.

538
00:50:16,933 --> 00:50:18,893
Thank you.

539
00:50:20,103 --> 00:50:23,440
So, what? You're kidnapping me?
What's the deal here?

540
00:50:27,736 --> 00:50:30,405
I was hoping I could just convince you
to come with me.

541
00:50:30,655 --> 00:50:32,032
So you are kidnapping me?

542
00:50:33,742 --> 00:50:36,411
I have to take you to a baseball game.

543
00:50:37,037 --> 00:50:38,038
You what?

544
00:50:38,955 --> 00:50:41,708
Tonight's game. Red Sox, A's.

545
00:50:42,208 --> 00:50:43,335
Why?

546
00:50:44,544 --> 00:50:46,004
Something will happen there.

547
00:50:46,129 --> 00:50:49,299
I don't know what,
but we'll find out when it does.

548
00:50:51,926 --> 00:50:53,094
My name's Ray Kinsella.

549
00:50:53,219 --> 00:50:57,140
You used my father's name
for a character in one of your stories.

550
00:50:57,265 --> 00:50:58,308
John Kinsella.

551
00:50:58,975 --> 00:51:01,686
You're seeing a whole team
of psychiatrists, aren't you?

552
00:51:01,853 --> 00:51:06,358
I don't blame you for thinking that,
but no, I'm not.

553
00:51:07,275 --> 00:51:10,528
I swear to God,
I'm the least crazy person I've ever known.

554
00:51:11,237 --> 00:51:14,199
Why are you kidnapping me
to a baseball game?

555
00:51:15,367 --> 00:51:19,162
- May I?
- Oh, please. Want a cup of coffee?

556
00:51:20,622 --> 00:51:21,706
No.

557
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:23,750
Want some cookies?

558
00:51:25,585 --> 00:51:26,711
No.

559
00:51:28,088 --> 00:51:29,964
I read an interview you gave...

560
00:51:30,090 --> 00:51:33,051
...about how you always dreamed
of playing at Ebbets Field...

561
00:51:33,176 --> 00:51:36,054
...and how sad you felt
when they tore it down.

562
00:51:36,221 --> 00:51:37,389
I never said that.

563
00:51:38,682 --> 00:51:39,766
You didn't?

564
00:51:40,141 --> 00:51:42,394
I don't even recall thinking that.

565
00:51:47,232 --> 00:51:48,400
Weird.

566
00:51:54,406 --> 00:51:56,658
This whole thing is so weird.

567
00:51:58,618 --> 00:52:00,787
Then why go through with it?

568
00:52:03,790 --> 00:52:05,542
It's a long story.

569
00:52:10,213 --> 00:52:13,967
But it's a really good story.
I'll tell you on the way.

570
00:52:14,551 --> 00:52:17,012
- I'm not getting rid of you, am I?
- No.

571
00:52:17,137 --> 00:52:21,516
If you come to this game with me,
I swear I'll never bother you again.

572
00:52:22,058 --> 00:52:24,144
Not even a Christmas card.

573
00:52:33,153 --> 00:52:35,196
So what do you do with yourself
these days?

574
00:52:35,321 --> 00:52:38,533
I live, I work. I learned how to cook.

575
00:52:39,617 --> 00:52:42,203
I take walks and watch sunsets.

576
00:52:43,621 --> 00:52:45,498
Don't you miss being involved?

577
00:52:46,082 --> 00:52:49,085
I was the East Coast distributor
of involved.

578
00:52:49,669 --> 00:52:52,422
I ate it and drank it and breathed it.

579
00:52:52,589 --> 00:52:55,383
Then they killed Martin, and Bobby...

580
00:52:56,092 --> 00:52:58,511
...they elected Tricky Dick twice...

581
00:52:58,678 --> 00:53:01,389
...and now people like you think
I must be miserable...

582
00:53:01,514 --> 00:53:04,934
...because I'm not involved anymore.
I've got news for you.

583
00:53:05,060 --> 00:53:07,437
I spent all my misery years ago.

584
00:53:07,687 --> 00:53:11,649
I have no more pain left for any of you.
I gave at the office.

585
00:53:13,401 --> 00:53:15,236
So what do you want?

586
00:53:15,653 --> 00:53:18,239
I want them to stop
looking to me for answers...

587
00:53:18,365 --> 00:53:21,618
...begging me to speak again,
write again, be a leader.

588
00:53:21,743 --> 00:53:24,162
I want them to start thinking
for themselves.

589
00:53:24,287 --> 00:53:26,164
And I want my privacy.

590
00:53:27,415 --> 00:53:30,627
No, I meant what do you want?

591
00:53:37,509 --> 00:53:39,135
Dog and a beer.

592
00:53:41,179 --> 00:53:44,307
- Two.
- $7.

593
00:53:45,058 --> 00:53:46,434
Okay, I understand you.

594
00:53:46,601 --> 00:53:49,145
You should be entitled
to as much privacy as you want.

595
00:53:49,270 --> 00:53:51,231
But why stop writing?

596
00:53:51,940 --> 00:53:57,195
I haven't published a word in 17 years,
and still I have to endure lunatics like you.

597
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,907
What do you think would happen
if I suddenly came out with a new book?

598
00:54:01,116 --> 00:54:02,867
They'd bleed me dry.

599
00:54:17,048 --> 00:54:19,217
<i>Go the distance.</i>

600
00:54:27,475 --> 00:54:29,686
<i>Go the distance.</i>

601
00:54:49,622 --> 00:54:50,623
What's the matter?

602
00:54:54,669 --> 00:54:57,380
- You didn't see that?
- See what?

603
00:55:04,721 --> 00:55:06,931
I'm sorry.
I guess you didn't have to be here.

604
00:55:07,057 --> 00:55:08,224
What?

605
00:55:11,436 --> 00:55:13,980
Whenever you want to go, we can go.

606
00:55:14,564 --> 00:55:16,191
Fine. Let's go.

607
00:56:02,654 --> 00:56:05,156
What is it you're not telling me?

608
00:56:06,199 --> 00:56:09,202
I've already taken up
too much of your time.

609
00:56:21,214 --> 00:56:23,299
I wish I had your passion.

610
00:56:23,633 --> 00:56:27,220
Misdirected though it might be,
it is still a passion.

611
00:56:27,345 --> 00:56:30,473
I used to feel that way about things, but...

612
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:37,063
- You got another message, didn't you?
- You'll think I'm crazy.

613
00:56:37,313 --> 00:56:40,191
I already think you're crazy.
What did it say?

614
00:56:43,778 --> 00:56:46,990
It said, "The man's done enough.
Leave him alone."

615
00:57:07,510 --> 00:57:09,095
Moonlight Graham.

616
00:57:10,221 --> 00:57:12,891
- You saw it.
- Saw what?

617
00:57:13,558 --> 00:57:18,313
You saw it. New York Giants, 1922.
He played one game. He never got to bat.

618
00:57:18,438 --> 00:57:20,023
- You saw it!
- What did I see?

619
00:57:20,148 --> 00:57:21,858
Chisholm, Minnesota.

620
00:57:21,983 --> 00:57:25,570
We were the only ones who saw it.
Did you hear the voice, too?

621
00:57:25,695 --> 00:57:26,905
It's all right to admit it.

622
00:57:27,030 --> 00:57:29,532
It's what told me to find you.
Did you hear it?

623
00:57:32,035 --> 00:57:33,411
"Go the distance"?

624
00:57:34,788 --> 00:57:38,833
- Yes. Do you know what it means?
- Yes.

625
00:57:38,958 --> 00:57:40,001
What?

626
00:57:40,126 --> 00:57:43,463
It means we're going to Minnesota
to find Moonlight Graham.

627
00:57:43,588 --> 00:57:46,633
- We're going... We?
- I must be out of my mind.

628
00:57:46,966 --> 00:57:51,262
- What do we do when we find him?
- How the hell am I supposed to know?

629
00:57:51,846 --> 00:57:53,723
That's right. You're right.

630
00:57:55,308 --> 00:57:58,895
- This is so bitchin'.
- I don't believe I'm doing this.

631
00:58:16,830 --> 00:58:20,000
<i>Hey, Annie, guess what?</i>
<i>I'm with Terence Mann.</i>

632
00:58:20,125 --> 00:58:22,127
<i>Oh, my God. You kidnapped him.</i>

633
00:58:22,293 --> 00:58:24,671
<i>No, I didn't. He wanted to.</i>

634
00:58:25,088 --> 00:58:28,174
<i>I'm really sorry,</i>
<i>but I'm going to be a few days longer.</i>

635
00:58:28,299 --> 00:58:29,759
<i>We're going to Minnesota.</i>

636
00:58:29,884 --> 00:58:32,637
<i>I don't believe this. What's in Minnesota?</i>

637
00:58:32,762 --> 00:58:35,598
An old ballplayer.
I'll explain when I get home.

638
00:58:35,724 --> 00:58:38,601
- How are things with you?
- <i>Fine.</i>

639
00:58:38,893 --> 00:58:41,771
Great. Look, Ann, I got to go, okay?

640
00:58:42,439 --> 00:58:45,942
Give Karin a hug for me, and I love you.

641
00:58:46,401 --> 00:58:47,861
I love you, too.

642
00:58:49,279 --> 00:58:51,406
Someday explain all this to me, okay?

643
00:58:51,531 --> 00:58:53,825
<i>I'll try. Bye-bye.</i>

644
00:58:53,950 --> 00:58:55,035
'Bye.

645
00:59:02,208 --> 00:59:03,543
Why didn't you tell him?

646
00:59:06,755 --> 00:59:08,840
You got no choice in the matter.

647
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:18,558
Half a dozen Grahams.
No Archibald. No Moonlight.

648
00:59:20,310 --> 00:59:21,603
Follow me.

649
00:59:33,615 --> 00:59:34,866
Hello.

650
00:59:36,368 --> 00:59:38,161
Excuse me. Maybe you can help us.

651
00:59:38,286 --> 00:59:41,206
We're looking for an ex-baseball player,
Archibald Graham.

652
00:59:41,790 --> 00:59:45,377
- Oh, you mean Doc Graham.
- No, I think his nickname was "Moonlight."

653
00:59:45,794 --> 00:59:48,463
- That's Dr. Graham.
- Dr. Graham?

654
00:59:48,838 --> 00:59:52,967
His baseball career never amounted
to much, so he went back to school.

655
00:59:53,093 --> 00:59:54,427
His father was a doctor.

656
00:59:54,803 --> 00:59:59,641
- Do you know where we can find him?
- It's nothing bad. We're not from the IRS.

657
01:00:00,684 --> 01:00:04,771
Doc Graham is dead. He died in 1972.

658
01:00:08,483 --> 01:00:11,986
"At times children could not afford
eyeglasses or milk or clothing.

659
01:00:12,779 --> 01:00:15,573
"Yet no child was ever denied
these essentials...

660
01:00:15,699 --> 01:00:18,743
"...because, in the background,
there was always Dr. Graham.

661
01:00:18,993 --> 01:00:23,123
"Without any fanfare or publicity,
the glasses or the milk...

662
01:00:23,873 --> 01:00:28,211
"...or the ticket to the ball game
found their way into the child's pocket."

663
01:00:28,878 --> 01:00:32,173
- You wrote that.
- The day he died.

664
01:00:32,298 --> 01:00:33,675
Can I see that?

665
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:37,345
- You're a good writer.
- So are you.

666
01:00:42,976 --> 01:00:44,644
Something's missing.

667
01:00:46,604 --> 01:00:49,441
He sounds like he was a wonderful man.

668
01:00:50,692 --> 01:00:53,903
Half the towns in North America
have a Doc Graham.

669
01:00:54,362 --> 01:00:57,991
Why do we have to travel halfway
across the country to find this one...

670
01:00:58,366 --> 01:01:00,660
...sixteen years after he died?

671
01:01:01,369 --> 01:01:03,288
There's got to be more.

672
01:01:09,210 --> 01:01:10,211
What else?

673
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:13,298
He always wore an overcoat...

674
01:01:13,423 --> 01:01:17,135
...he had white hair,
and he always carried an umbrella.

675
01:01:17,510 --> 01:01:18,636
What was the umbrella for?

676
01:01:18,970 --> 01:01:22,265
I think it got to be a habit,
something to hang on to.

677
01:01:22,599 --> 01:01:26,770
If you asked him, he said he used it
to beat away his lady admirers.

678
01:01:27,103 --> 01:01:28,438
Tell me about his wife.

679
01:01:29,230 --> 01:01:30,523
Alicia.

680
01:01:32,025 --> 01:01:36,112
She moved to South Carolina
after Doc passed.

681
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:39,783
She passed a couple years later.

682
01:01:40,575 --> 01:01:42,660
She always wore blue.

683
01:01:43,828 --> 01:01:48,166
The shopkeepers in town
would stock blue hats...

684
01:01:48,708 --> 01:01:53,338
...because they knew if Doc walked by,
he'd buy one.

685
01:01:55,340 --> 01:01:58,009
When they cleaned out his office...

686
01:01:58,134 --> 01:02:00,970
...they found boxes of blue hats...

687
01:02:02,806 --> 01:02:05,642
...that he never got around to give her.

688
01:02:05,892 --> 01:02:07,686
I'll bet you didn't know that.

689
01:02:08,687 --> 01:02:10,939
No, I didn't.

690
01:02:13,692 --> 01:02:18,530
No screwing, no drinking,
no opium, no midnight abortions.

691
01:02:19,614 --> 01:02:23,410
No illegitimate children, no shady finances.

692
01:02:24,077 --> 01:02:26,162
You sound disappointed.

693
01:02:27,288 --> 01:02:30,750
Shoeless Joe had a problem.
That's why he needed you.

694
01:02:31,126 --> 01:02:33,086
This guy doesn't need us.

695
01:02:37,007 --> 01:02:39,217
Do you know you're missing?

696
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:45,056
Oh, God.

697
01:02:46,307 --> 01:02:50,687
"His father, who lives in Baltimore,
notified police after receiving...

698
01:02:50,812 --> 01:02:53,857
"...no answer to repeated telephone calls."
Shoot.

699
01:02:54,691 --> 01:02:55,942
I better call him.

700
01:02:56,401 --> 01:02:59,195
- You want me to...
- Thanks.

701
01:03:05,910 --> 01:03:08,580
I'm taking a walk. Be back in a while.

702
01:03:14,336 --> 01:03:16,296
What do I tell him?

703
01:03:43,907 --> 01:03:44,991
"This year's"?

704
01:04:27,242 --> 01:04:28,785
Dr. Graham?

705
01:04:37,502 --> 01:04:38,837
Dr. Graham?

706
01:04:43,341 --> 01:04:46,219
My name's Ray Kinsella. I'm from Iowa.

707
01:04:49,180 --> 01:04:50,598
Are you Moonlight Graham?

708
01:04:55,979 --> 01:04:59,232
No one's called me Moonlight Graham
in 50 years.

709
01:05:01,818 --> 01:05:03,737
I've come a very long way to see you.

710
01:05:04,404 --> 01:05:07,782
I couldn't sleep tonight.
Usually I sleep like a baby.

711
01:05:07,907 --> 01:05:10,076
I told Alicia I was going to take a walk.

712
01:05:12,537 --> 01:05:16,374
Do you mind if I join you?
I'd like to talk to you.

713
01:05:17,625 --> 01:05:19,377
Let's walk over to my office.

714
01:05:21,421 --> 01:05:23,340
What do you want to talk to me about?

715
01:05:23,548 --> 01:05:27,510
When you got to the majors,
you played only one inning of one game.

716
01:05:27,635 --> 01:05:29,637
What happened with you?

717
01:05:30,597 --> 01:05:32,849
It was the last day of the season.

718
01:05:32,974 --> 01:05:35,352
Bottom of the eighth inning,
we were way ahead.

719
01:05:35,477 --> 01:05:39,689
I'd been up with the club for three weeks,
but I hadn't seen any action.

720
01:05:39,814 --> 01:05:43,151
Suddenly old John McGraw
points a bony finger in my direction...

721
01:05:43,276 --> 01:05:45,195
...and he says, "Right field."

722
01:05:46,446 --> 01:05:49,032
I jumped up like I was sitting on a spring.

723
01:05:49,157 --> 01:05:53,119
Grabbed my glove, and ran out on the field.

724
01:05:55,747 --> 01:05:57,832
Did you get to make a play?

725
01:05:57,957 --> 01:06:00,877
They never hit the ball out of the infield.

726
01:06:02,379 --> 01:06:05,131
The game ended. The season was over.

727
01:06:05,715 --> 01:06:08,093
I knew they'd send me back down.

728
01:06:08,635 --> 01:06:11,930
I couldn't bear the thought
of another year in the minors.

729
01:06:12,138 --> 01:06:15,100
So I decided to hang them up.

730
01:06:17,727 --> 01:06:20,188
- Go on. Sit down.
- Thank you.

731
01:06:22,399 --> 01:06:24,317
So what was that like?

732
01:06:26,569 --> 01:06:29,739
It was like coming this close
to your dreams...

733
01:06:30,156 --> 01:06:33,993
...and then watching them brush past you,
like a stranger in a crowd.

734
01:06:34,119 --> 01:06:35,954
At the time, you don't think much of it.

735
01:06:36,079 --> 01:06:39,582
We don't recognize our most significant
moments while they're happening.

736
01:06:40,208 --> 01:06:43,586
Back then I thought,
"Well, there'll be other days."

737
01:06:43,878 --> 01:06:46,715
I didn't realize that was the only day.

738
01:06:48,675 --> 01:06:51,845
And now, I want to ask you a question.

739
01:06:52,846 --> 01:06:57,267
What's so interesting about half an inning
that would make you come from Iowa...

740
01:06:57,392 --> 01:07:00,228
...to talk to me about it
50 years after it happened.

741
01:07:01,771 --> 01:07:04,482
I didn't really know till just now...

742
01:07:05,567 --> 01:07:09,571
...but I think it's to ask you,
if you could do anything you wanted...

743
01:07:09,738 --> 01:07:12,115
...if you could have a wish...

744
01:07:15,869 --> 01:07:19,122
And you're the kind of man
who could grant me that wish?

745
01:07:20,457 --> 01:07:23,126
I don't know. I'm just asking.

746
01:07:24,961 --> 01:07:29,174
You know,
I never got to bat in the major leagues.

747
01:07:29,466 --> 01:07:32,344
I'd have liked to have had that chance,
just once...

748
01:07:32,552 --> 01:07:34,888
...to stare down a big-league pitcher.

749
01:07:35,013 --> 01:07:39,309
Stare him down,
then just as he goes into his windup, wink.

750
01:07:39,893 --> 01:07:42,312
Make him think you know
something he doesn't.

751
01:07:42,437 --> 01:07:44,147
That's what I wish for.

752
01:07:44,272 --> 01:07:48,193
The chance to squint at a sky so blue
that it hurts your eyes to look at it.

753
01:07:48,318 --> 01:07:51,237
To feel the tingle in your arms
as you connect with the ball.

754
01:07:51,363 --> 01:07:53,907
To run the bases,
stretch a double into a triple...

755
01:07:54,032 --> 01:07:56,701
...and flop face first into third.

756
01:07:56,868 --> 01:07:59,204
Wrap your arms around the bag.

757
01:07:59,454 --> 01:08:00,955
That's my wish.

758
01:08:04,376 --> 01:08:07,462
Is there enough magic out there
in the moonlight...

759
01:08:07,587 --> 01:08:09,297
...to make this dream come true?

760
01:08:10,048 --> 01:08:14,969
- What would you say if I said yes?
- I think I'd actually believe you.

761
01:08:17,722 --> 01:08:20,016
There's a place
where things like that happen...

762
01:08:20,141 --> 01:08:22,686
...and if you want to go, I can take you.

763
01:08:27,357 --> 01:08:30,360
This is my most special place
in all the world.

764
01:08:30,819 --> 01:08:35,115
Once a place touches you like this,
the wind never blows so cold again.

765
01:08:36,616 --> 01:08:40,161
You feel for it. Like it was your child.

766
01:08:41,955 --> 01:08:43,415
I can't leave Chisholm.

767
01:08:44,416 --> 01:08:47,293
I understand. I do.

768
01:08:49,671 --> 01:08:53,341
But I really think
you're supposed to come with us.

769
01:08:54,300 --> 01:08:55,385
No.

770
01:08:58,805 --> 01:08:59,973
But your wish?

771
01:09:01,516 --> 01:09:03,351
It'll have to stay a wish.

772
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:07,731
I was born here, I lived here,
I'll die here, but no regrets.

773
01:09:08,982 --> 01:09:13,361
Fifty years ago, for five minutes,
you came this close.

774
01:09:13,862 --> 01:09:18,533
It would kill some men to get that close
to their dream and not touch it.

775
01:09:19,367 --> 01:09:21,119
They'd consider it a tragedy.

776
01:09:21,453 --> 01:09:25,290
Son, if I'd only gotten to be a doctor
for five minutes...

777
01:09:25,665 --> 01:09:27,625
...now that would have been a tragedy.

778
01:09:31,671 --> 01:09:35,759
I better be getting home.
Alicia will think I got a girlfriend.

779
01:09:36,885 --> 01:09:38,428
And he smiled.

780
01:09:40,513 --> 01:09:45,101
And then I figured, maybe we're not
supposed to take him with us.

781
01:09:45,435 --> 01:09:46,895
I don't know.

782
01:09:48,730 --> 01:09:51,649
I don't know why in the hell
we were supposed to come here.

783
01:09:51,775 --> 01:09:55,570
Maybe it's to find out
if one inning can change the world.

784
01:09:56,529 --> 01:09:59,282
- Think it did?
- It did for these people.

785
01:09:59,407 --> 01:10:03,036
If he'd gotten a hit,
he might have stayed in baseball.

786
01:10:03,703 --> 01:10:05,080
I don't know.

787
01:10:06,122 --> 01:10:09,584
Your wife called before.
She wants you to call her tonight.

788
01:10:17,634 --> 01:10:20,387
I'm fine. I'm just so glad it's you.

789
01:10:20,887 --> 01:10:24,641
Listen, I talked to the bank...

790
01:10:24,766 --> 01:10:28,269
...and I asked them
if we could miss a payment or two...

791
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:32,399
...and they told me that they had just sold
the note on the farm...

792
01:10:32,899 --> 01:10:35,944
...to Mark and his partners.

793
01:10:37,153 --> 01:10:38,947
Right. So they own the paper now.

794
01:10:39,072 --> 01:10:43,034
He says if we don't sell to them,
they're going to foreclose.

795
01:10:45,161 --> 01:10:47,288
We don't have the money.

796
01:10:47,831 --> 01:10:53,044
Look, I've got to take Mr. Mann
back to Boston first.

797
01:10:53,336 --> 01:10:56,339
- No.
- Wait a second.

798
01:10:57,173 --> 01:10:58,591
I'm going to Iowa with you.

799
01:11:02,637 --> 01:11:03,888
We're coming home.

800
01:11:07,809 --> 01:11:11,479
Hell, I can't quit now.
I got to see this ball park.

801
01:11:12,147 --> 01:11:14,816
Not everyone can see it. You might not.

802
01:11:15,859 --> 01:11:17,444
Give it a try.

803
01:11:23,491 --> 01:11:25,577
I need all the karma I can get right now.

804
01:11:32,292 --> 01:11:35,545
- Thanks. You're the first car by.
- How far you going?

805
01:11:35,670 --> 01:11:38,089
- How far you going?
- Iowa.

806
01:11:38,298 --> 01:11:42,260
If it's okay, I'll just ride along a while.
I play baseball.

807
01:11:44,054 --> 01:11:46,056
- Hop in.
- All right.

808
01:11:54,689 --> 01:11:56,483
I'm looking for a place to play.

809
01:11:56,566 --> 01:12:00,320
I heard that all through the Midwest,
they have towns with teams.

810
01:12:00,445 --> 01:12:03,823
And in some places,
they'll even find you a day job...

811
01:12:03,948 --> 01:12:06,368
...so you can play ball
nights and weekends.

812
01:12:06,493 --> 01:12:10,914
This is your lucky day, kid.
We're going someplace kind of like that.

813
01:12:11,581 --> 01:12:12,874
All right.

814
01:12:13,124 --> 01:12:17,545
- I'm Ray Kinsella. This is Terence Mann.
- Hi.

815
01:12:17,671 --> 01:12:19,464
I'm Archie Graham.

816
01:12:31,976 --> 01:12:35,355
It's funny the way he described towns
finding you a job...

817
01:12:35,480 --> 01:12:40,276
...so that you could play on their team.
They haven't done that for years.

818
01:12:40,443 --> 01:12:44,155
My dad did that for a while,
but that was in the '20s.

819
01:12:44,739 --> 01:12:46,116
What happened to your father?

820
01:12:46,866 --> 01:12:48,493
He never made it as a ballplayer...

821
01:12:48,618 --> 01:12:51,746
...so he tried to get his son
to make it for him.

822
01:12:51,830 --> 01:12:53,915
By the time I was 10, playing baseball...

823
01:12:54,040 --> 01:12:57,711
...got to be like eating vegetables
or taking out the garbage.

824
01:12:58,211 --> 01:13:01,089
So when I was 14, I started to refuse.

825
01:13:02,215 --> 01:13:04,134
Can you believe that?

826
01:13:04,300 --> 01:13:07,387
American boy refusing to have a catch
with his father?

827
01:13:07,679 --> 01:13:08,930
Why 14?

828
01:13:11,099 --> 01:13:13,560
That's when I read <i>The Boat Rocker</i>
by Terence Mann.

829
01:13:13,685 --> 01:13:14,728
God!

830
01:13:15,103 --> 01:13:16,771
I never played catch with him again.

831
01:13:16,855 --> 01:13:19,232
That's the kind of crap
people always lay on me.

832
01:13:19,357 --> 01:13:21,776
It's not my fault
you wouldn't play catch with him.

833
01:13:21,901 --> 01:13:23,111
I know.

834
01:13:25,989 --> 01:13:28,074
Anyway, when I was 17...

835
01:13:29,242 --> 01:13:32,746
...I packed my things,
said something awful, and left.

836
01:13:33,413 --> 01:13:37,000
After a while, I wanted to come home,
but I didn't know how.

837
01:13:38,043 --> 01:13:40,754
Made it back for the funeral, though.

838
01:13:51,097 --> 01:13:53,558
What was the awful thing you said?

839
01:13:55,101 --> 01:13:56,686
To your father?

840
01:14:00,231 --> 01:14:04,152
I said I could never respect a man
whose hero was a criminal.

841
01:14:05,528 --> 01:14:07,238
Who was his hero?

842
01:14:08,114 --> 01:14:09,991
Shoeless Joe Jackson.

843
01:14:12,494 --> 01:14:16,498
You knew he wasn't a criminal.
Then why did you say it?

844
01:14:18,500 --> 01:14:20,001
I was 17.

845
01:14:24,339 --> 01:14:27,717
The son of a bitch died
before I could take it back.

846
01:14:28,927 --> 01:14:30,887
Before I could tell him...

847
01:14:32,347 --> 01:14:33,765
...you know.

848
01:14:36,267 --> 01:14:38,228
He never met my wife.

849
01:14:40,063 --> 01:14:42,065
He never saw his granddaughter.

850
01:14:43,942 --> 01:14:45,819
This is your penance.

851
01:14:46,486 --> 01:14:50,198
I know. I can't bring my father back.

852
01:14:50,365 --> 01:14:53,493
So the least you can do
is bring back his hero.

853
01:14:54,619 --> 01:14:55,829
Well...

854
01:14:58,873 --> 01:15:02,002
Now I know
what everybody's purpose here is.

855
01:15:03,211 --> 01:15:04,587
Except mine.

856
01:15:36,453 --> 01:15:39,581
- Daddy!
- Karin, come here.

857
01:15:42,834 --> 01:15:44,044
Hi!

858
01:15:45,420 --> 01:15:49,549
- We missed you. Are you okay?
- Yeah. This is Terence Mann.

859
01:15:49,841 --> 01:15:50,925
Terry.

860
01:15:51,259 --> 01:15:52,469
- Welcome.
- Thank you.

861
01:15:52,594 --> 01:15:53,511
Hi, Terry.

862
01:15:54,262 --> 01:15:57,140
And this young fellow is...
This is Archie Graham.

863
01:15:57,807 --> 01:16:01,269
- Archie.
- He's come to practice with the team.

864
01:16:01,519 --> 01:16:04,689
Yeah? He's going to be able to do
a lot more than that.

865
01:16:05,023 --> 01:16:06,024
What does that mean?

866
01:16:18,244 --> 01:16:20,830
- Welcome back.
- Thanks, Joe.

867
01:16:20,914 --> 01:16:22,665
- Oh, my God.
- What?

868
01:16:23,083 --> 01:16:25,043
That's Shoeless Joe Jackson!

869
01:16:25,293 --> 01:16:28,213
Of course it is.
You mean you didn't believe me?

870
01:16:28,338 --> 01:16:32,008
I thought I did, but... Oh, my God.

871
01:16:33,259 --> 01:16:35,136
- Hi, Annie.
- Hi, Joe.

872
01:16:35,303 --> 01:16:40,308
Good to see you. Terry,
I'd like you to meet Shoeless Joe Jackson.

873
01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:42,644
Joe, Terry Mann.

874
01:16:43,770 --> 01:16:47,023
- It's a pleasure meeting you.
- The pleasure's mine.

875
01:16:47,232 --> 01:16:50,527
I hope you don't mind,
but we got tired of just having practices...

876
01:16:50,610 --> 01:16:54,614
...so we brought another team out
so we could have some real games.

877
01:16:54,739 --> 01:16:57,617
I don't mind. Where'd they come from?

878
01:16:58,034 --> 01:16:59,619
Where did we come from?

879
01:16:59,744 --> 01:17:02,163
You wouldn't believe
how many guys wanted to play.

880
01:17:02,288 --> 01:17:03,998
We had to beat 'em off with a stick.

881
01:17:04,124 --> 01:17:07,794
That's "Smokey" Joe Wood, and Mel Ott...

882
01:17:09,295 --> 01:17:10,839
...and Gil Hodges!

883
01:17:10,922 --> 01:17:12,465
Ty Cobb wanted to play.

884
01:17:12,590 --> 01:17:15,343
We couldn't stand the son of a bitch
when we were alive...

885
01:17:15,468 --> 01:17:17,262
...so we told him to stick it!

886
01:17:22,058 --> 01:17:24,853
- Are you Graham?
- Yes, sir.

887
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:29,441
What are you doing on the sidelines?
You came to play ball, didn't you?

888
01:17:29,566 --> 01:17:30,984
Yes, sir.

889
01:17:31,651 --> 01:17:35,530
- All right. Well, go warm up.
- Yes, sir.

890
01:17:37,866 --> 01:17:39,242
Rookies.

891
01:17:40,076 --> 01:17:41,619
Unbelievable.

892
01:17:43,413 --> 01:17:45,123
It's more than that.

893
01:17:46,082 --> 01:17:47,542
It's perfect.

894
01:18:00,472 --> 01:18:01,723
Safe!

895
01:18:11,399 --> 01:18:13,360
Go, Graham! Go, kid!

896
01:18:13,485 --> 01:18:15,153
Come on, Archie!

897
01:18:15,278 --> 01:18:17,572
He looks like a baby next to those guys.

898
01:18:17,655 --> 01:18:18,740
He is.

899
01:18:29,793 --> 01:18:31,044
Let's go.

900
01:18:34,464 --> 01:18:35,757
Watch it, boy!

901
01:18:38,551 --> 01:18:41,179
Don't let him shake you up. Hang in there!

902
01:18:41,388 --> 01:18:44,432
Knuckles, what did you throw
at the kid for?

903
01:18:45,058 --> 01:18:47,769
- He winked at me.
- Don't wink, kid.

904
01:18:50,105 --> 01:18:53,191
Good thing for you
he didn't throw the fastball.

905
01:18:57,487 --> 01:18:58,863
Let's see that fastball.

906
01:19:03,660 --> 01:19:04,661
Ball.

907
01:19:04,786 --> 01:19:08,164
Hey! Come on. Give us a break!

908
01:19:08,581 --> 01:19:09,666
Hey, ump.

909
01:19:10,959 --> 01:19:15,046
- How about a warning?
- Sure. Watch out you don't get killed.

910
01:19:16,006 --> 01:19:17,173
Time!

911
01:19:18,091 --> 01:19:19,259
Time!

912
01:19:21,261 --> 01:19:25,682
Those first two were high and tight.
So what do you think the next one will be?

913
01:19:27,726 --> 01:19:30,603
Either low and away or in my ear.

914
01:19:30,770 --> 01:19:34,357
He's not going to want to load the bases.
So look for low and away.

915
01:19:34,482 --> 01:19:36,067
Right.

916
01:19:36,860 --> 01:19:39,154
But watch out for in your ear.

917
01:19:40,655 --> 01:19:42,032
- Come on, Archie!
- Let's go, kid!

918
01:19:42,115 --> 01:19:43,950
Batter, batter, batter!

919
01:19:44,075 --> 01:19:46,828
Come on, Arch. It just takes one.

920
01:19:58,840 --> 01:20:01,134
- Yeah.
- That's deep enough.

921
01:20:02,135 --> 01:20:04,888
Go! Go! Go home!

922
01:20:06,598 --> 01:20:08,641
- Safe!
- Son of a...

923
01:20:09,184 --> 01:20:12,145
Way to go, Arch! Way to go!

924
01:20:12,270 --> 01:20:14,272
Attaboy, Arch!

925
01:20:15,482 --> 01:20:17,317
This is the wave!

926
01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:20,528
- Way to go, man!
- Yeah, Archie.

927
01:20:20,862 --> 01:20:23,198
- All right.
- Archie, we need it.

928
01:20:23,531 --> 01:20:25,825
- Way to go.
- Yeah. Way to go.

929
01:21:00,860 --> 01:21:03,822
- What is this?
- What is this jerk doing?

930
01:21:03,947 --> 01:21:04,989
Hi!

931
01:21:05,824 --> 01:21:08,159
- Shit! Wreck him.
- Let me at him!

932
01:21:08,702 --> 01:21:10,578
You're interrupting the game, Mark.

933
01:21:12,330 --> 01:21:16,918
It's time to put away your little fantasies
and come down to Earth.

934
01:21:17,168 --> 01:21:20,755
- It's not a fantasy. They're real.
- Who is real?

935
01:21:21,297 --> 01:21:24,050
Shoeless Joe Jackson, the White Sox,
all of them.

936
01:21:24,676 --> 01:21:27,429
- You mean?
- No. He can't see any of them.

937
01:21:28,972 --> 01:21:30,598
Who is this, Elvis?

938
01:21:31,808 --> 01:21:32,892
Ray.

939
01:21:34,060 --> 01:21:36,229
As a matter of fact, it's Terence Mann.

940
01:21:36,813 --> 01:21:38,648
How do you do? I'm the Easter Bunny.

941
01:21:38,773 --> 01:21:41,943
- Let's settle this thing now.
- Look. I'm not selling.

942
01:21:42,027 --> 01:21:46,322
You have no money.
You have a stack of bills!

943
01:21:46,448 --> 01:21:48,825
Come fall, you got no crop to sell.

944
01:21:48,950 --> 01:21:52,162
But, I have a deal
that allows you to stay on the land.

945
01:21:52,412 --> 01:21:55,415
Daddy? We don't have to sell the farm.

946
01:21:55,790 --> 01:21:59,961
- You'll live in the house rent-free.
- What about the team...

947
01:22:00,086 --> 01:22:02,172
Do you realize how much
this land is worth?

948
01:22:02,297 --> 01:22:04,174
Yeah. Yeah.

949
01:22:05,842 --> 01:22:07,677
$2,200 an acre.

950
01:22:08,094 --> 01:22:11,973
We can't keep a useless baseball diamond
in rich farmland.

951
01:22:12,098 --> 01:22:14,184
Read my lips. We're staying, all right?

952
01:22:14,309 --> 01:22:16,895
- We're staying.
- Ray, you're bankrupt!

953
01:22:16,978 --> 01:22:20,231
I'm offering you a way to keep your home
because I love my sister.

954
01:22:20,357 --> 01:22:24,486
My partners don't care
and are ready to foreclose right now.

955
01:22:24,611 --> 01:22:27,655
Daddy, we don't have to sell the farm.

956
01:22:27,781 --> 01:22:29,949
- Karin, please!
- Just wait! Wait!

957
01:22:34,162 --> 01:22:35,872
People will come.

958
01:22:37,415 --> 01:22:40,669
- What people, sweetheart?
- From all over.

959
01:22:40,794 --> 01:22:43,672
They'll just decide to take a vacation, see?

960
01:22:43,797 --> 01:22:48,009
And they'll come to Iowa City.
They'll think it's really boring.

961
01:22:48,426 --> 01:22:52,138
So they'll want to pay us.
Like buying a ticket.

962
01:22:55,934 --> 01:22:58,687
You're not seriously listening to this,
are you?

963
01:22:58,812 --> 01:23:01,481
- Yes.
- Wait a minute.

964
01:23:02,357 --> 01:23:05,068
Why would anybody
pay money to come here?

965
01:23:05,402 --> 01:23:06,945
To watch the games.

966
01:23:07,445 --> 01:23:11,700
It will be just like when they were kids,
a long time ago.

967
01:23:11,950 --> 01:23:14,869
They'll watch the game
and remember what it was like.

968
01:23:15,453 --> 01:23:19,374
- What the hell is she talking about?
- People will come.

969
01:23:19,499 --> 01:23:21,793
All right. This is fascinating...

970
01:23:22,419 --> 01:23:25,672
...but you don't have the money
to bring the mortgage up to date.

971
01:23:25,755 --> 01:23:28,174
So, you're still going to have to sell.

972
01:23:29,342 --> 01:23:32,095
I'm sorry, Ray. We got no choice.

973
01:23:35,849 --> 01:23:39,310
People will come, Ray.

974
01:23:42,063 --> 01:23:45,400
They'll come to Iowa
for reasons they can't even fathom.

975
01:23:46,109 --> 01:23:50,572
They'll turn up your driveway,
not knowing for sure why they're doing it.

976
01:23:50,697 --> 01:23:54,200
They'll arrive at your door
as innocent as children...

977
01:23:54,325 --> 01:23:56,327
...longing for the past.

978
01:23:56,536 --> 01:24:00,206
"Of course, we won't mind
if you look around," you'll say.

979
01:24:01,207 --> 01:24:03,376
"It's only $20 per person."

980
01:24:03,835 --> 01:24:06,880
They'll pass over the money
without even thinking about it.

981
01:24:06,963 --> 01:24:10,342
For it is money they have
and peace they like.

982
01:24:10,467 --> 01:24:12,802
Ray! Just sign the papers.

983
01:24:13,345 --> 01:24:16,056
Then they'll walk off to the bleachers...

984
01:24:17,182 --> 01:24:20,894
...and sit in their shirtsleeves
on a perfect afternoon.

985
01:24:23,146 --> 01:24:28,526
They'll find they have reserved seats
somewhere along one of the baselines...

986
01:24:29,944 --> 01:24:34,366
...where they sat when they were children
and cheered their heroes...

987
01:24:34,866 --> 01:24:36,951
...and they'll watch the game...

988
01:24:37,077 --> 01:24:40,914
...and it will be as if they dipped
themselves in magic waters.

989
01:24:41,331 --> 01:24:43,583
The memories will be so thick...

990
01:24:43,750 --> 01:24:46,336
...they'll have to brush them away
from their faces.

991
01:24:46,961 --> 01:24:50,757
When the bank opens in the morning,
they'll foreclose.

992
01:24:51,257 --> 01:24:52,926
People will come, Ray.

993
01:24:53,218 --> 01:24:57,097
You're broke, Ray.
You sell now, or you lose everything.

994
01:24:57,806 --> 01:25:02,018
The one constant through all the years,
Ray, has been baseball.

995
01:25:02,936 --> 01:25:06,231
America has rolled by
like an army of steamrollers.

996
01:25:06,773 --> 01:25:10,568
It's been erased like a blackboard,
rebuilt, and erased again.

997
01:25:12,404 --> 01:25:15,198
But baseball has marked the time.

998
01:25:17,075 --> 01:25:19,619
This field, this game.

999
01:25:20,495 --> 01:25:22,789
It's a part of our past, Ray.

1000
01:25:23,540 --> 01:25:26,668
It reminds us of all that once was good...

1001
01:25:28,003 --> 01:25:30,046
...and it could be again.

1002
01:25:33,216 --> 01:25:35,135
People will come, Ray.

1003
01:25:36,094 --> 01:25:38,221
People will most definitely come.

1004
01:25:39,347 --> 01:25:42,225
Ray, you will lose everything.

1005
01:25:42,892 --> 01:25:45,020
You will be evicted.

1006
01:25:55,905 --> 01:25:57,407
<i>Come on, Ray.</i>

1007
01:26:18,386 --> 01:26:19,512
I'm not signing.

1008
01:26:20,221 --> 01:26:22,307
You're crazy! Absolutely nuts!

1009
01:26:23,058 --> 01:26:24,851
I can't do it, pal.

1010
01:26:26,478 --> 01:26:29,439
Ray, you build a baseball field
in the middle of nowhere...

1011
01:26:29,564 --> 01:26:31,358
...and you stare at nothing.

1012
01:26:31,483 --> 01:26:32,525
It's not nothing.

1013
01:26:32,650 --> 01:26:36,488
- Your daughter's turned into a space case.
- Get your hands off her!

1014
01:26:38,406 --> 01:26:39,574
Karin?

1015
01:26:44,537 --> 01:26:46,247
- Is she all right?
- I don't know.

1016
01:26:46,373 --> 01:26:48,875
- Is she breathing?
- Should I get the car?

1017
01:26:54,130 --> 01:26:56,132
I'm going to call emergency.

1018
01:26:57,550 --> 01:26:59,969
- Annie, wait.
- What?

1019
01:27:18,029 --> 01:27:19,322
Just wait.

1020
01:27:37,799 --> 01:27:40,385
- What have we got here?
- She fell.

1021
01:27:48,393 --> 01:27:51,312
- This child's choking to death.
- Get her up.

1022
01:27:51,813 --> 01:27:53,440
Hold her steady now.

1023
01:27:59,654 --> 01:28:01,781
Hot dog. Stuck in her throat.

1024
01:28:02,907 --> 01:28:04,534
She'll be all right.

1025
01:28:04,659 --> 01:28:07,912
She'll be turning handsprings
before you know it.

1026
01:28:11,750 --> 01:28:13,126
Thank you, Doc.

1027
01:28:14,794 --> 01:28:17,464
No, son. Thank you.

1028
01:28:20,842 --> 01:28:22,969
Oh, my God. You can't go back.

1029
01:28:23,303 --> 01:28:24,971
- You can't go back.
- It's all right.

1030
01:28:25,055 --> 01:28:27,140
- I'm sorry.
- It's all right.

1031
01:28:31,978 --> 01:28:33,980
I best be getting on home...

1032
01:28:34,522 --> 01:28:37,859
...before Alicia begins to think
I got a girlfriend.

1033
01:28:42,989 --> 01:28:44,282
Hey, Doc.

1034
01:28:44,949 --> 01:28:46,493
Good work, Doc.

1035
01:28:48,453 --> 01:28:49,996
Nice going, Doc.

1036
01:28:53,166 --> 01:28:54,501
Going to miss you.

1037
01:28:57,087 --> 01:28:59,756
Win one for me one day, will you, boys?

1038
01:28:59,881 --> 01:29:01,508
- Okay, Doc.
- Yeah.

1039
01:29:09,391 --> 01:29:12,018
When did these ballplayers get here?

1040
01:29:17,565 --> 01:29:18,983
Hey, rookie!

1041
01:29:30,745 --> 01:29:32,288
You were good.

1042
01:29:46,344 --> 01:29:50,181
Do not sell this farm, Ray.
You got to keep this farm.

1043
01:29:50,515 --> 01:29:52,726
You've had a rough day.

1044
01:29:52,851 --> 01:29:55,979
- Go inside and get something cold to drink.
- Yeah.

1045
01:29:56,104 --> 01:29:57,647
That's a good idea.

1046
01:29:58,982 --> 01:30:00,817
Don't sell the farm, Ray.

1047
01:30:09,993 --> 01:30:11,077
Ray?

1048
01:30:12,203 --> 01:30:14,164
We're going to call it a day.

1049
01:30:14,497 --> 01:30:16,875
- See you tomorrow.
- Okay.

1050
01:30:21,504 --> 01:30:23,256
Do you want to come with us?

1051
01:30:27,802 --> 01:30:30,263
- You mean it?
- No, not you.

1052
01:30:32,015 --> 01:30:33,058
Him.

1053
01:30:36,686 --> 01:30:38,563
- Him?
- Come with you?

1054
01:30:38,813 --> 01:30:40,523
- Out there.
- What is out there?

1055
01:30:41,274 --> 01:30:42,400
Come and find out.

1056
01:30:42,609 --> 01:30:45,153
Wait a second. Why him? I built this field.

1057
01:30:45,278 --> 01:30:49,199
- You wouldn't be here if it weren't for me.
- I'm unattached. You have a family.

1058
01:30:49,324 --> 01:30:50,909
I want to know what's out there.

1059
01:30:50,992 --> 01:30:53,620
- I want to see it.
- But you're not invited.

1060
01:30:56,498 --> 01:30:59,501
"Not invited"?
What do you mean I'm not invited?

1061
01:30:59,626 --> 01:31:02,420
That's my corn out there.
You guys are guests in my corn.

1062
01:31:03,004 --> 01:31:07,217
I've done everything I've been asked to do.
I didn't understand, but I've done it.

1063
01:31:07,342 --> 01:31:09,511
I haven't once asked what's in it for me.

1064
01:31:09,636 --> 01:31:13,390
- What are you saying?
- I'm saying, "What's in it for me?"

1065
01:31:14,307 --> 01:31:17,143
Is that why you did this? For you?

1066
01:31:22,857 --> 01:31:25,443
I think you'd better stay here, Ray.

1067
01:31:28,697 --> 01:31:29,698
Why?

1068
01:31:31,658 --> 01:31:34,536
Ray. There's a reason they chose me...

1069
01:31:34,661 --> 01:31:37,414
...just as there's a reason
they chose you and this field.

1070
01:31:38,873 --> 01:31:40,250
I gave an interview.

1071
01:31:40,500 --> 01:31:42,544
What are you talking about?

1072
01:31:42,669 --> 01:31:46,923
The one about Ebbets Field,
the one that sent you to Boston to find me.

1073
01:31:49,968 --> 01:31:53,513
- You lied to me.
- You were kidnapping me at the time.

1074
01:31:53,638 --> 01:31:56,391
- You lied to me!
- You said your finger was a gun.

1075
01:31:59,102 --> 01:32:01,187
- That's a good point.
- Ray.

1076
01:32:06,818 --> 01:32:09,112
Listen to me, Ray. Listen to me.

1077
01:32:11,031 --> 01:32:13,241
There is something out there...

1078
01:32:13,825 --> 01:32:16,703
...and if I have the courage
to go through with this...

1079
01:32:16,828 --> 01:32:18,913
...what a story it'll make.

1080
01:32:20,749 --> 01:32:23,793
"Shoeless Joe Jackson comes to Iowa."

1081
01:32:32,552 --> 01:32:36,222
- Are you going to write about it?
- You bet I'll write about it.

1082
01:32:36,598 --> 01:32:40,435
- You're going to write about it.
- That's what I do.

1083
01:32:44,939 --> 01:32:46,066
Good.

1084
01:32:49,569 --> 01:32:50,695
Good.

1085
01:33:06,378 --> 01:33:08,421
Honey, where's he going?

1086
01:33:09,005 --> 01:33:11,758
Terry's been invited
to go out with the other players.

1087
01:33:11,883 --> 01:33:14,719
- How are you feeling, sweetheart?
- Stupid.

1088
01:33:14,928 --> 01:33:16,221
You mean "out"?

1089
01:33:16,513 --> 01:33:17,639
Yeah.

1090
01:33:18,682 --> 01:33:19,766
Out.

1091
01:33:20,433 --> 01:33:21,685
Far out.

1092
01:33:23,895 --> 01:33:25,522
I want a full description.

1093
01:33:26,523 --> 01:33:28,608
Take care of this family.

1094
01:33:31,069 --> 01:33:32,529
Be careful.

1095
01:34:31,588 --> 01:34:32,672
'Bye.

1096
01:34:35,925 --> 01:34:37,052
What?

1097
01:34:44,184 --> 01:34:46,311
What are you grinning at, you ghost?

1098
01:34:47,270 --> 01:34:49,272
"If you build it...

1099
01:34:51,274 --> 01:34:52,734
"...he will come."

1100
01:35:05,038 --> 01:35:08,249
- Oh, my God.
- What? What is it?

1101
01:35:12,420 --> 01:35:13,630
It's my father.

1102
01:35:19,302 --> 01:35:20,929
"Ease his pain."

1103
01:35:22,347 --> 01:35:24,307
"Go the distance."

1104
01:35:27,060 --> 01:35:28,520
It was you.

1105
01:35:32,440 --> 01:35:35,402
No, Ray. It was you.

1106
01:36:02,137 --> 01:36:03,513
My God.

1107
01:36:04,848 --> 01:36:08,393
I only saw him years later
when he was worn down by life.

1108
01:36:10,478 --> 01:36:11,521
Look at him.

1109
01:36:13,481 --> 01:36:18,319
He's got his whole life in front of him,
and I'm not even a glint in his eye.

1110
01:36:23,199 --> 01:36:25,035
What do I say to him?

1111
01:36:26,828 --> 01:36:29,956
Why don't you introduce him
to his granddaughter?

1112
01:36:33,168 --> 01:36:34,169
Hi.

1113
01:36:35,503 --> 01:36:36,504
Hi.

1114
01:36:37,130 --> 01:36:40,342
I just wanted to thank you folks
for putting up this field...

1115
01:36:40,467 --> 01:36:42,344
...letting us play here.

1116
01:36:42,927 --> 01:36:44,512
I'm John Kinsella.

1117
01:36:46,848 --> 01:36:48,058
I'm Ray.

1118
01:36:49,642 --> 01:36:51,144
My wife Annie.

1119
01:36:52,270 --> 01:36:55,523
This is my daughter Karin.
Karin, this is my...

1120
01:36:58,943 --> 01:37:00,403
This is John.

1121
01:37:01,488 --> 01:37:02,614
Hi, John.

1122
01:37:05,116 --> 01:37:06,576
Hi, Karin.

1123
01:37:09,245 --> 01:37:12,082
Well, we're going to let you two talk.

1124
01:37:13,416 --> 01:37:17,671
If all these people are going to come,
we got a lot of work to do.

1125
01:37:19,798 --> 01:37:22,050
It was very nice meeting you.

1126
01:37:23,093 --> 01:37:24,135
Ma'am.

1127
01:37:25,553 --> 01:37:27,013
Come on.

1128
01:37:41,903 --> 01:37:43,822
You catch a good game.

1129
01:37:44,989 --> 01:37:46,282
Thank you.

1130
01:37:48,660 --> 01:37:50,453
It's so beautiful here.

1131
01:37:52,747 --> 01:37:53,873
For me...

1132
01:37:56,251 --> 01:37:59,129
For me, it's like a dream come true.

1133
01:38:02,674 --> 01:38:04,634
Can I ask you something?

1134
01:38:08,430 --> 01:38:10,515
Is this heaven?

1135
01:38:14,811 --> 01:38:16,104
It's Iowa.

1136
01:38:18,189 --> 01:38:20,734
- Iowa?
- Yeah.

1137
01:38:24,612 --> 01:38:26,990
I could have sworn it was heaven.

1138
01:38:35,290 --> 01:38:38,585
Is there a heaven?

1139
01:38:40,795 --> 01:38:42,088
Oh, yeah.

1140
01:38:44,382 --> 01:38:46,843
It's the place where dreams come true.

1141
01:39:06,696 --> 01:39:08,573
Maybe this is heaven.

1142
01:39:15,205 --> 01:39:16,706
Good night, Ray.

1143
01:39:19,626 --> 01:39:21,086
Good night, John.

1144
01:39:31,388 --> 01:39:33,056
Hey! Dad?

1145
01:39:37,060 --> 01:39:39,020
You want to have a catch?

1146
01:39:41,731 --> 01:39:43,191
I'd like that.

1147
01:41:26,252 --> 01:41:28,296
