I watched this last night and found it mildly entertaining. I did enjoy the end of the show where they actually had Reggie claiming he'd never said some of that stuff and the reporter claiming he did.

    Were Billy Martin's ears really that big? The actor playing him looks like an elf! image

    I actually saw they were filming this movie down in Connecticut, I wish I knew what it was going to be about!

    I was entertained by it. The guy playing Lou Piniella looked like a total P E N I S. That is probably the strangest part of the movie...findng actors who look, or in this case don't look the role.

    I thought it was really good, but then I'm a biased Yankee fan image. I'm looking forward to the next episode.

    I just cant get into Oliver pLatt as George lol.
    John Turturro is pretty good as Billy martin though.

    They should have gotten Larry David from Seinfeld to play george, he used to do the voice when Georg Costanza would go to meet him in his office lol.
