Barry Pepper and Thomas Jane take this movie to the stratosphere. One of the best baseball movies of all time!
Thrilling look at a historic time in baseball. Pepper and Jane are excellent so is the direction from Crystal who obviously loves the game.
It’s a solid TV movie about one of the most exciting times in baseball and an important period in American history.
Very good, one of my favorite sports movies.
Wonderful baseball epic!! Mantle (Jane) and Maris (Pepper) are catching Babe Ruth's home run slam record.
Great performances. Always thought Pepper was underrated.
This isn’t a vary well known movie, but once you watch it, it immediately becomes a classic!
Fantastic portrayal of the atmosphere of Mantle & Maris’ 1961 season chasing Babe Ruth’s HR record. Modest & self-aware w/ verisimilitude
What a great film. Especially for baseball lovers!
Very good baseball movie. Tom Jane steals the show as Mickey Mantle
