Quote context

[...]

- Well, this is your lucky day, kid. We're going some place kind of like that.

- All right.

- I'm Ray Kinsella. This is Terence Mann.

- Hi. I'm Archie Graham.

- You know, it's funny the way you describe towns, you know, finding you a job so that you could play on their team. They haven't done that for years. My dad did that for a while, but that was in the '20s.

- What happened to your father?

- He never made it as a ballplayer, so he tried to get his son to make it for him.

- By the time I was 10, playing baseball got to be like eating vegetables or taking out the garbage. So when I was 14, I started to refuse.

- Oh, God. I never played catch with him again.

- You see, that's the kind of crap people always try to lay on me.

- It's not my fault you didn't play catch with your father.

- I know.

Top rated lines from this movie

Man, I did love this game. I'd have played for food money. It was the game, the sounds, the smells.
I'd wake up at night with the smell of the ballpark in my nose, with the cool of the grass on my feet, the thrill of the grass.
It's okay, honey. I'm just talking to the cornfield.
What's your father got to do with all of this? -I never forgave him for getting old. By the time he was as old as I am now, he was ancient.
But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game. It's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good, and it could be again.
