Movie Reviews of Spaceman: A Baseball Odyssey
Movie Review: SPACEMAN TAKE-OFF ... SPACEMAN SPLASH-DOWN
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't hate a player who loves the game ... and hates the Yankees !!
The DVD reveals former Boston Red Sox and Montreal Expo lefty Bill Lee at his best, a lover of game of baseball for the right reasons. At the same time Lee is accurately presented as a man who couldn't stand the often-times cruel business of major league baseball.
If you are a Red Sox fan, you will always love Bill Lee, despite his wacky personality and rebellious attitude. He still hates the Yankees just as any Sox fan would. And for a Sox fan, that's all you need.
Lee won 17 games three straight years pitching in Fenway Park, not easy for any lefty. After having been dealt to Montreal, he won 17 more his first year as the National League (Lefthanded) Pitcher of the Year.
If I have a complaint, there is too little footage of Lee as a big-leaguer. He was good for a long time. Most of the film is about Lee after the majors. I recall a game he pitched after he quit the Sox briefly because Bernie Carbo had been traded. Lee eventually returned and pitched Boston to a win over Jim Palmer and the Baltimore Orioles in Fenway Park. The fans loved it. I would have loved seeing some footage from that night in the film.
Sox fans will love this DVD. Yankees fan won't.
And what's wrong with that ??
