Micheal O'Keefe plays a great baseball player who falls in love with a beautiful girl. Only problem is that their respective careers are moving in different directions. You can see the love and heartache as they try to work things out. Michael's character is an average player until he meets Debby, played by Rebecca De Mornay, and is inspired to greatness, and believe me Rebecca is mighty inspiring in this movie. Michael's character has a great streak on the baseball diamond and the supporting characters are great, I was rooting for their team to go all the way. But the core of the film is about how Daryl and Debby, Micheal and Rebecca, fall in love work it out and then get torn apart by their diverging careers. It is a wonderfully done movie and the script was excellent and I would recommend this movie for its great portrayal of love not conquering all.
