Had never heard of this film and glad I saw it since I am a big baseball fan and also was a great fan of the amazing Roberto Clemente.
It was somewhat predictable but still a good film based on a true story.
Their journey to see Roberto hit his 3000 hit on the last game of the season, was interesting to watch and then to realize that it was also the last game that Clemente would ever play because of his death that year.
Ray Liotta is a fav. of mine and it was good to see the new Pirates stadium with Clemente's statue outside. Even better now that the Pirate's are having a decent season for a change. A good film for any baseball or Clemente fan to see.
