Bad News Bears - Let Them Play | Breaking Training | Tanner Boyle

http://raidergirls.com/raiders_blog/bad-news-bears-let-them-play/ ... Ahhh, memories of simpler times for a kid with a late 60's birthdate. This "Let Them Play" chant still gives me goosebumps.. and Tanner Boyle standing defiantly alone at the Astrodome will forever define my rebellious youth. When faith in humanity is lost there is always solace to be found in the Bad News Bears. Cheers to a movie that gives kids credit for their complexities, raidergirls.com

i'm working on the big hundo (94 times... give or take a couple of Sy Orlansky brewskis) myself. as funny today as it was bold when i had bball cards in my huffy spokes.

No road trip is complete without a reference to "Engle-puke" and a bucket of KFC.

Goosebumps when Tanner evades the security guards. Then again when the scoreboard reads "play ball" and the Bad News Bears theme music comes on.

Awesome clip!

seriously. kind of like watching clips of the miracle on ice when you hear al michaels deliver the "do you believe in miracles..." line.

every single time i see "play ball" flash across the 'dome scoreboard, I look for it. yep, there it is... goosebumps. i had an irritating girlfriend once that actually got jealous because i didn't ALWAYS have the same reaction to her feminine charms... i believe i called her a "booger eating spaz."

Geoffds - If you are trying as an adult to "make sense" of the magic of Tanner Boyle and Co... then I would respectfully say that you have missed the point.

As a kid, I enjoyed this movie. As an adult, it makes no sense. With so much at stake - the winner advances to play the Japanese champs - there is no way they would create a potential time conflict by scheduling this game mere hours before a MLB game. It would be like Cowboys Stadium hosting a high school championship game hours before the Cowboys kickoff. And those security guys need to be dismissed and their houses burned to the ground if they can't collectively catch a 10 year old.
