The reliever who came in the game. The lefty who has best fastball in league. That was Roy Hobbs before he got shot. Thats what he was gonna be and now he was facing him with game on line. Fascinating
I always imagined he was the kid Roy threw the ball to from the train after beating the whammer. Roy inspiring him to be the best he could be. No real reason to believe it was so. Just my imagination :)
Hollywood doesn't make more than one or two very good movies in a year these days. This moment and scene is one of the great moments in cinema history. It's a master scene meant for time. 😊
Field of Dreams, Eight Men Out, The Natural and Major League I. Four Baseball Films made and released during the 1980's, they don't make them with this quality anymore.
Brings back memories when I started little league my dad took me to buy a real glove at Roger and Rays hardware store in Bay Village Ohio he rubbed it with neatsfoot oil wrapped a ball in wax paper and stuck it in the sweet spot then he wrapped rubber bands around it to form a pocket can still smell that neatsfoot oil miss you dad
I grew up in Buffalo and remember this movie being filmed. I went to War Memorial Stadium many times to watch the Bills… Every time I see this beautiful film, I’m reminded of my childhood- growing up in that special city that’s still I’m my heart to this day…. This is truly a wonderful film…
In the book Roy strikes out to what would have been himself if he was never shot. The movie is so much better imo as young Roy & Old Roy both win. Old Roy knew exactly what he was gonna throw because he would have thrown it himself
The best part of this clip from The Natural is that home run Roy hit into the lights because that sent the Knights to the World Series. Too bad one of the foul ball broke the window next to the radio booth but at least nobody got hurt. That was only an accident.
I love this movie, I love the cinematography, but I could never understand at the end, where he is reunited with his son and his sons mother, that they chose an actor as the boy who cannot throw a baseball properly. Did anyone else pick us up?

Goose bumps
Tears forever
My son and I love the movie.
Peace ✌️ 2024

This clip is one of the many reasons why this is the greatest baseball movie.
This is perhaps the best sports movie ever made.
@@DirtyBob200X And the cheesiest baseball movie would be Field of Dreams. It’s amazing how many baseball movie lists have it ahead of The Natural.
One of the greatest scenes of any movie, period!

The Savoy Special ❤️

As he rounds third into movie eternity...simply magical

I would also put "For the love of the game", especially with Vin Scully commentating through the game.
Much better ending then the actual book ending
Best damn hitter ive ever seen

Filmed at the “ Rockpile” in Buffalo NY.

The maintenance guy, in charge of lights, was not happy.
Lets play ball
Make your dreams come true...
Roy Hobbs, the Legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the book Roy strikes out to what would have been himself if he was never shot. The movie is so much better imo as young Roy & Old Roy both win. Old Roy knew exactly what he was gonna throw because he would have thrown it himself
I well up when Wonder Boy broke in half😭
An inevitable moment when the scene needed just a final super dose of mystery and suspense.
How wash
Go pick me out a winner bobby
Imagine; Some people think it's only a game.
The send-off Don Mattingly should have had.
The best part of this clip from The Natural is that home run Roy hit into the lights because that sent the Knights to the World Series. Too bad one of the foul ball broke the window next to the radio booth but at least nobody got hurt. That was only an accident.
With any luck he would have hit Max Mercy
That was the kid's bat.
Legend has it that ball 🏀 passed Voyager 2😳
I love this movie, I love the cinematography, but I could never understand at the end, where he is reunited with his son and his sons mother, that they chose an actor as the boy who cannot throw a baseball properly. Did anyone else pick us up?
It seemed obvious to me.
He was happy. Gave him overtime
No warm up pitches
This scene is why they have a time limit now. Just pitch the damn ball!!!!
Lolol
Clueless…
