The biggest reason this is my favorite sports movie ever is because it doesn't come down to the big game at the end of the movie; there is no big game. The movie instead focuses on what it takes to play the game. And the game is baseball. Kevin Costner's Crash Davis and Susan Sarandon's Annie Savoy each set out to teach Tim Robbins' clueless Ebby Calvin 'Nuke' LaLoosh to harness his God-given talent to pitch a baseball. None of the three stand out because each are superb in their respective roles. Crash Davis is the experienced minor league veteran who knows how to play the game but lacks enough talent to make it to the bigs. Savoy is the sexy, multi-religious baseball fan who's been around enough to know a thing or two about the game. 'Nuke' just doesn't have a clue and needs them both to go to the next level. The three take the audience through the world of minor league baseball and what it takes to play the game. The movie is funny, fun, and suprisingly sexy (I gotta admit, Sarandon's hot!!). Along the way, you get a clue as to what's being talked about during discussions on the pitcher's mound, what players are thinking in the batter's box, and maybe even what they're wearing along with the jockstrap. The movie's a riot that isn't a cliched final game that so many other sports flicks rely on. I really think this is the greatest sports movie ever made. 9/10
