You Have To Remember That Baseball Really Was The American Pastime In The Forties, Not Football, Basketball Or Any Other Sport.

I Think That The Best Movies Are Made, Not From A Point Of View That Depends On Your Personal History, Whether It's The Color Of Your Skin Or The Politics That You Had Or The Place That You Come From, But From A Point Of View Of An Understanding Of Human Nature, An Understanding Of History, And An Understanding Of What Motivates People.
