Quote context

[...]

- 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.

- Anyway, when I was 17, I packed my things, said something awful, and left. After a while, I wanted to come home, but I didn't know how. Made it back for the funeral, though.

- What was the awful thing you said to your father?

- Oh. I said I could never respect a man whose hero was a criminal.

- Who was his hero?

- Shoeless Joe Jackson.

- You knew he wasn't a criminal. Then why did you say it?

- I can't bring my father back.

- So the least you can do is bring back his hero.

- Well... Now I know what everybody's purpose here is, except mine.

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.

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.
