Product Description Kevin Costner (Field of Dreams) stars in For Love of the Game, a heartwarming drama about love, life and the perfect game. Legendary Detroit Tigers pitcher Billy Chapel (Costner) has always been better at baseball than at love. Nobody knows that better than his on-again, off-again girlfriend, Jane (Kelly Preston).

At the end of a disappointing season, just before what may be the last professional game of his life, Jane tells Billy she's leaving him. Now, with his career and his love life in the balance, Billy battles against his physical and emotional limits as he plays the game of his life and must come to a critical decision that will change his future forever.

Tear jerker works the baseball myths well

"For Love of the Game" is not Bull Durham (still the best baseball movie of all time), but it's close. This is thanks to Kevin Costner's ability to live the role he plays in his "baseball days" (and the fact that he doesn't have to do his own stunts from the mound or behind the plate in either movie).The story is straightforward: It's the season's end, and also nearing the end of the career of the protagonist, a pitcher who has been "one of the best" but is now on is last legs in the majors. Loyal to his team (and teammates, as his relationship with his catcher shows). He's one of the "boys of

A cinematic home run

As a movie buff and baseball enthusiast, I was excited to watch "For Love of the Game" on Blu-ray. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The film follows the story of aging pitcher Billy Chapel (played by Kevin Costner) as he reflects on his career and personal life during a crucial game.First off, the picture and sound quality of the Blu-ray are fantastic. The sharpness and clarity of the images truly bring out the beauty of the baseball game and the stunning landscapes. The sound quality is also top-notch, with the cheers of the crowd and the crack of the bat sounding incredibly realis

Wonderful

I am not a baseball fan. I however loved this movie! It is much more than a film about a baseball player. It is a story of romance and the team that supports him is amazing.

Bias opinion alert! A really good movie about a lot more than baseball

Ok, I will admit up front that I love baseball and that I am very much a fan of Kevin Costner. Having said that, there have been some really good sports movies and many will say this is not one of them but I will politely and firmly disagree. When you come to the end of a career which I did a few years ago after 40 years being fairly good at what I did for a living, those last years bring on a lot of soul searching.For me, as he worked through his life as he worked through the innings of the game, it was very nearly a perfect thing of beauty to see. I love the pace of baseball, the numbers, th
