    Maybe that's romanticizing things, but baseball wouldn't be half as beautiful without its mythology.

    The movie's a must for baseball fans in general and Red Sox fans in particular - if nothing else, it will help remove the battery-acid taste of the season now stumbling to a close.

    Though not novel enough to attract non-devotees of America's Pastime, the film should please fans on the small screen.
