Take Me Out to the Matinee
September 25, 2011
Oh man… SUCH a great movie.. I just loved every second of it; believe I sat there with a smile on my face throughout. I love baseball. And stats. Both feature prominently, so I may be biased, but I don’t think so. I’m pretty sure it’s a movie you’ll like, even if not a baseball person.
Starred him:
And, thrillingly, featured 2-4 seconds of onscreen time for Peter’s coach, who served as a baseball-playing extra.
So, of course, the whole team went. And all the team parents. We were a significant percentage of the full theater.
It’s not a great photo, but you get the idea: young baseball players go to matinee to see a baseball movie featuring their coach in a bit part.

LOVE this! How cool that their coach had a big part and that the whole team went! This post just made me happy!
I plan to see it soon!

I think you’ll really love it, MA.
And it’s “bit” part, not big part. He was one of the Twins who runs out of the dugout after their team wins an important game. Have to look carefully. Apparently, there was a lot more, but it was all cut. He had a great time doing it.
