We spent some time on the professional TEGWAR circuit during our youth. (We play Western Canadian style which is, for our money, much faster than Southeastern TEGWAR.)
This TEGWAR experience influenced our choice of movies last night when we relaxed by watching Bang the Drum Slowly on TiVo. It features Michael Moriarty (best known as Ben Stone on Law & Order) and a young unknown named Robert De Niro as dying catcher Bruce Pearson.
Bang the Drum Slowly has aged really well since 1973 and remains one of our favorite films. In some ways it's the Brian's Song of baseball movies movie. It's sad, but it doesn't yank your heart out at every turn. However, we must admit that Piney Woods' rendition of Streets of Laredo brought a tear to our eyes. Check it out.
