Quiz
The real Jimmy Piersall disowned the movie due to its distortion of the facts. Based on the success of his autobiography and the movie, Piersall penned a second book in 1985 called The Truth Hurts, which detailed his ousting from the White Sox organization.

Blooper
Close-up shots of Jimmy Piersall playing shortstop and right field reveal a low outfield wall backed by trees in the background. These games were supposed to be in Fenway Park, which would have a high left field wall and bleachers in right field.

6/10

Sensational story of a baseball star's mental illness.

This a very interesting, but not totally factual, account of the life of Jimmy Piersall. Piersall was a popular player with the Boston Red Sox. His antics on and off the field are now legendary. Piersall fell in love with baseball at a young age, but his domineering father forced Jimmy to not only achieve, but to play to perfection. Mr. Piersall's constant manipulating can be traced to his son's mental breakdown.

Anthony Perkins puts in a dedicated performance as Jimmy Piersall. Karl Malden excelled as the relentless Mr. Piersall. Also in the cast are Bart Burns, Norma Moore and Adam Williams.

This is a very stark and interesting movie, just don't take all the content as gospel. A baseball fan's delight.
