Most of the comments here have talked about how this movie is a good one for baseball fans, which is true, but it's also a fantastic film for Japanese culture buffs. I picked this up on DVD for just under $8 at K-Mart, and, even as someone who is not a big baseball fan, I found it charming. This may well be Tom Selleck's best role ever, and the other characters are very engaging and funny as well. The music is quite good too.
