Last game question...
While I don't particularly care for it, I'm pretty much up to speed with all the baseball rules.
What was the deal with the "last game" in the film though?
Was that specifically to win the division / league ahead of the play-offs / World Series.
Or was it simply a big thing that you have to win the last game of the regular season to be remembered well?
They made a big deal of him never having won it in five years or whatever and I couldn't imagine it was a play-off qualifying loss every time.
