The Natural by Bernard Malamud

3.0

When I was a kid I saw this movie a bunch. I remembered it being about the best baseball player of all time. He had a home made bat and would knock the cover off the ball. It was awesome. But I just the story was really about a guy who was good at baseball but kind of a piece of shit. He's really gropy and ruins his career over a woman that sucks. Towards the end he pigs out so much he almost can't swing a bat anymore(?). Then he throws it all away sorta gambling.

Because poignance and symbolism or something.
