Well, you know, I never got to bat in the major leagues. I'd have liked to have had that chance, just once, to stare down a big-league pitcher. Stare him down and then just as he goes into his windup... wink. Make him think you know something he doesn't.

Quote context

[...]

- And now, Ray Kinsella, I want to ask you a question.

- What's so interesting about half an inning that would make you come all the way from Iowa to talk to me about it 50 years after it happened?

- I didn't really know till just now, but I think it's to ask you if you could do anything you wanted, if you could have... a wish?

- And you're the kind of a man who could grant me that wish?

- I don't know. I'm just asking.

- Well, you know, I never got to bat in the major leagues. I'd have liked to have had that chance, just once, to stare down a big-league pitcher. Stare him down and then just as he goes into his windup... wink. Make him think you know something he doesn't.

- The chance to squint at a sky so blue that it hurts your eyes just to look at it, to feel the tingle in your arms as you connect with the ball, run the bases, stretch a double into a triple and flop face first into third, wrap your arms around the bag.

- That's my wish, Ray Kinsella. That's my wish. Is there enough magic out there in the moonlight to make this dream come true?

- What would you say if I said yes?

- I think I'd actually believe you.

- Well sir, there's a place where things like that happen and if you want to go, I can take you.

- This is my most special place in all the world. Once a place touches you like this, the wind never blows so cold again. You feel for it, like it was your child.

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.
