 Wouldn't it be loverly?, July 6, 2006
                 
This is a delightful love story about a short stop and his second baseman, the only fault of which is...the ending is SO happy. Excuse me, but there will be a black man (and probably a white woman as well) in the White House before Major League Baseball accepts homosexuiality among its own. Lefcourt, writing in 1992, thought, well, maybe if I set the story in 1998 (which he does!)-maybe...it could happen then. Well, it's 2006, and it hasn't happened yet. Give it another 30 years. MLB..er, SUCKS!

I hadn't seen that one, Diane. It's beautiful....and the words, damn.   "...keep breathin' cause I'm not leavin' you anymore..."   All the words fit the story so well. Thank you for posting the link.

I'm interested in hearing what your co-workers have to say after they see the movie.

Fern - I'm so glad you saw it! Isn't it wonderful? WOW! I know that song wasn't even remotely written for the film, but it fits perfectly. I went out and bought the Nickleback CD because it reminds me of that video! SIGH! I'll let you know what my co-workers think!
