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.

Quote context

[...]

- Well, if it's okay with you, I think I'll just ride along a while. I play baseball.

- I'm looking for a place to play. I heard that all through the Midwest, they have towns with teams. And in some places, well... they'll even find you a day job so you can play ball nights and weekends.

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

- 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.

- Can you believe that? American boy refusing to have a catch with his father?

- Why 14?- That's when I read The Boat Rocker by Terence Mann.

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

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

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.
