This is your lucky day, kid.
We're going someplace kind of like that.
:18:06
All right.
:18:07
-I'm Ray Kinsella. This is Terence Mann.
-Hi.
:18:12
I'm Archie Graham.
:18:26
It's funny the way he described towns
finding you a job...
:18:30
...so that you could play on their team.
They haven't done that for years.
:18:35
My dad did that for a while,
but that was in the '20s.
:18:39
What happened to your father?
:18:41
He never made it as a ballplayer...
:18:43
...so he tried to get his son
to make it for him.
:18:46
By the time I was 10, playing baseball...
:18:48
...got to be like eating vegetables
or taking out the garbage.
:18:53
So when I was 14, I started to refuse.
:18:57
Can you believe that?
:18:59
American boy refusing to have a catch
with his father?
:19:02
Why 14?
:19:05
That's when I read The Boat Rocker
by Terence Mann.
:19:08
God!
:19:09
I never played catch with him again.
:19:11
That's the kind of crap
people always lay on me.
:19:14
It's not my fault
you wouldn't play catch with him.
:19:16
I know.
:19:20
Anyway, when I was 17...
:19:24
...l packed my things,
said something awful, and left.
:19:28
After a while, I wanted to come home,
but I didn't know how.
:19:32
Made it back for the funeral, though.
:19:45
What was the awful thing you said?
:19:49
To your father?
:19:55
I said I could never respect a man
whose hero was a criminal.
