Winner Never Quits [VHS]Winner Never Quits [VHS]
Buy used from: $57.55
One of the best baseball films I have ever seen, and trust me I have seen almost all of them. This is based on a true story of Pete Gray, a one-armed Major Leauguer. I taped this movie off of TV when I was kid and watched it over and over again. I am so glad it is available on VHS. I have yet to find a DVD version.

Guys, it's okay to on this movie even if it seems like a chick flick. We can all relate to his devotion to baseball and his favorite team. Plus, it's funny and endearing (Sorry, bad word choice; get over it; however, it is a chick flick.

This is a tough movie to love because Ty Cobb was such a S.O.B. However, his baseball legacy is fascinating, and the Tommy Lee Jones performance is too powerful to pass up.

I do not like John Goodman so I am surprised by how much I loved his performance of the Great Bambino.

The real life Roy Hobbs (The Natural) story. Incredible! Inspirational! It might even have you doing pushups and running sprints like you did after the Rocky movies.

Oh yeah, if you do decide to run sprints after watching this, make sure you stretch good. It's awfully easy to pull a hamstring at your age.

Don't be fooled. It may be old but it is extremely motivational. Reminds me of "A Winner Never Quits" a television movie starring Keith Carradine ("A WInner Never Quits" would have made my TOP BASEBALL MOVIES list if it were available for sale. Keep your eyes open and please let me know if you come across it. Meanwhile, Stratton Story will have to do.
