Drove past this place just a few weeks ago. I have never stopped, but I guess I should one day.

What *is* it with the intersection of baseball movies and English majors? Definitely the most literary and cinematic sport. (See also, Bull Durham, in which Susan Sarandon is an English professor at the community college in Durham when she’s not a minor league groupie.)

"An English major myself, I was instantly determined to focus today’s piece on this throwaway factoid even if it meant reverse-engineering the rest of the narrative to fit my predetermined framework. (Which is a very English major thing to do.)" Relatable 😂

Fun fact: I'm 90% sure this was the first movie I ever watched that wasn't animated because it lived on top of the filing cabinet that held our VHS collection rather than it. I don't think I actually liked the movie all that much but I always had a strange compulsion to watch it and saw it several times in my youth. Could be that it only required me to pull up a chair to stand on rather than heave a heavy metal drawer open, but it could also be ✨the voices✨
