Quote context

[...]

- I want to build that field. Do you think I'm crazy?

- But I also think if you really feel you should do this, then you should do it.

- What the hell is he doing? He's plowing under his corn.

- Ty Cobb called him the greatest left fielder of all time. He said his glove was the place where triples go to die.

- Could he hit?

- Could he hit? Lifetime average, 356, third highest in history.

- Why'd they call him Shoeless Joe?

- When he was still in the minors, he bought a new pair of spikes and hurt his feet. In the sixth inning, he took them off and played the rest of the game in just his socks. The other players kidded him, called him Shoeless Joe, and the name stuck.

- He's going to lose his farm.

- Then in 1919, his team, the Chicago White Sox, they threw the World Series.

- What's threw?

- It means they lost it on purpose. Gamblers paid them to. Except Shoeless Joe.

- Now he did take their money, but nobody could ever proved he did a single thing to lose those games.

- I mean if he's supposed to be throwing, how do you explain the fact that he hit 375 for the Series and didn't commit one error, huh?

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.
