"The Iron Man of Baseball" is guaranteed to melt your heart
Robert Redford leads an all-star cast in this beautiful, mythical piece about second chances...in life, in love, and on the field.

DVD extras include a documentary featuring Cal Ripken, Jr.
John Sayles' engrossing drama explores one the saddest times in the history of baseball, the infamous 1919 Black Sox scandal. John Cusack, Charlie Sheen and John Mahoney turn in excellent performances in this finely nuanced film about the darker, corrupt side of our nation's favorite sport.
