Personally, I can't believe he's in ANOTHER baseball movie (especially one that looks as formulaic and contrived as "For Love of the Game"). The only thing I can figure is that his previous baseball flicks have done well, so he figured "Hey, why not?" Then again, he's not to discerninlg when it comes to picking scripts...

I can't speak for many of his other movies, because I haven't seen them. But I just wanted to let you all know that he has done some credible work. At least in my eyes.

Well, I'd say "Dances with Wolves" was pretty credible too. "Field of Dreams" was pre-Wolves (1989 as opposed to 1990). I can't think of anything he's done since then that was good (and I thought "Tin Cup" was pretty bad, Sam).
