And just like that, Let's Play Ball! month is sliding into home plate for its final inning here on @wedrinkandwewatchthings! To cap off our month of baseball cinema, we're throwing it back to a pure 90s classic that's equal parts cheesy and incredibly charming: "Angels in the Outfield." Grab your drink, maybe a tissue, and get ready for some feel-good magic.
This week, we're wrapping up our baseball journey with the story of a very young Joseph Gordon-Levitt, a perpetually frustrated Danny Glover, and a bunch of very literal angels helping out the worst team in baseball. We'll be talking about the unabashedly sentimental heart of this film, the pure joy of seeing a hopeless team turn things around, and whether you believe in miracles (on or off the field). It's a healthy dose of nostalgia, a sprinkle of fantasy, and a whole lot of that classic Disney warmth.
If you grew up watching this one, love a good underdog story with a supernatural twist, or just want to feel like a kid again, then this is your grand slam episode. We're leaning into the sweetness and the silliness, blending our nostalgic memories with our usual casual conversation, making this the perfect, heartwarming conclusion to Let's Play Ball! It truly could happen!
