"the natural" is my favorite movie ever, and you are absolutely right about the hair rising on your back when he hits the winning home run. i can remember going to my grandma's when i was a young boy about 15 years ago, i would watch it over and over there, and then she would let me bring it home to watch. i loved this movie so much, that when i was 4 or 5 i remember going to the tree lighting in town and sitting on santa's lap, when he asked me my name i told him "roy hobbs"

Indeed, a very Coplandesque piece of music.

Too bad players like McGuire and Bonds polluted the game.

@eyalgot Also known as "nationalist", particularly the american style. very popular 20th century school of composition.

Everytime I listen to this it reminds me of The Wonder Years Independence Day. It brings a tear to my eye.

I remember as a kid watching the Yanks on TV and saw Roger Maris hit #61. This song should have been around when he did it.
