Wow, 5 pages in a baseball website and no mention of this?

Having lived on both sides of the father/son catch game, this one hits me from two directions.

I also nominate A River Runs Through It, because my one fear in life is this:
Now nearly all those I loved and did not understand when I was young are dead, but I still reach out to them.


Of course, now I am too old to be much of a fisherman, and now of course I usually fish the big waters alone, although some friends think I shouldn't. Like many fly fishermen in western Montana where the summer days are almost Arctic in length, I often do not start fishing until the cool of the evening. Then in the Arctic half-light of the canyon, all existence fades to a being with my soul and memories and the sounds of the Big Blackfoot River and a four-count rhythm and the hope that a fish will rise.

That part, "now I am too old to be much of a fishermen" makes me cry like a baby every time. :wink:

Apologies to TM, I missed that. I simply can not watch that without tearing up, no matter how many times I have seen it.

A River Runs Through It is another one that slays me each time I see it.

I start losing it when Norman gets the call about Paul being killed. And the bit Jim posted just tops it all off.

Unicron is still my favorite bad guy of all time, any movie.
