心灵投手

老男孩的故事，总是会让人由衷的感动，尤其是以体育人生为主线的故事，更出其的打动人心。我承认，电影音乐赚取了不少眼泪。而且每次泪点与剧情配合的恰到好处。温馨又励志。已经失去激情的人生，再一群学生的鼓励下重新燃烧。浴火凤凰，涅槃重生。追求梦想，多晚都不算晚，就算梦想暂时封存，等到出鞘的时候，还是闪亮夺目。英雄般的结尾略显虚假，但在那些爱你的人，真心希望你成功的眼里何尝不是英雄般的存在！

看这部电影的时候我想起了今年大火的苏珊大妈，来自于小镇，其貌不扬，但是都拥有着某一领域的特殊技能，更重要的是他们都拥有着一颗梦想不灭的心，这颗心没有因为岁月的流失而老去！
danis Quid的表演不外露但却很吸引人，而他发达的肌肉也让这个主人公更有可信度！
其实到了中年的梦想已经不仅仅是你自己的梦想了，你去实现自己的梦想是要让自己的家人，孩子，朋友，学生，和小镇上所有默默无闻的人，告诉他们生活的价值和永远不要放弃的信念！
片子前面的基调也定的很好，一场和学生的打赌才使老师又走上了重返职业之路，可信度较好！还有父子间，夫妻间的关系都拿捏得不错！
ps：儿子是好汉两个半的小男孩！

简单总结了一下进入大联盟之后的战绩：总共出塞16场，0胜0败，4.8的ERA，这个有点高了。总共投出13个三振。后来肩伤复发，最后一场大联盟比赛对阵洋基队，延长赛10局下半满垒上场，以一个再见保送结束了大联盟生涯。被光芒队releasee了之后曾被道奇的小联盟选中过，但是没过春训就被release了从而结束了棒球生涯，之后就出了书并作为励志演讲家走穴了。
那个年代98mph应该已经很不错了，但是可能年龄确实太大了而且缺乏比赛经验，大联盟的经历不能算是很成功。但是不管怎么说35岁还能有勇气追逐梦想都令人尊敬。

Morris was originally selected 466th overall in the January 1982 amateur baseball draft by the New York Yankees but did not sign. He would then later be selected fourth overall of the 1983 amateur draft (January Secondary) draft by the Milwaukee Brewers and signed with the organization. He suffered several arm injuries in the minor leagues, and was released during the 1987 season, never having progressed past the single-A minor leagues. He signed with the Chicago White Sox organization for 1989, but was again unable to rise past the single-A leagues.

Unable to make anything of his career, Morris retired to become a high school physical science teacher and baseball coach at Reagan County High School in Big Lake, Texas, with his wife Lorri, his 9-year-old son and his five and one-year-old daughters.

While coaching baseball for the Reagan County Owls in the spring of 1999, Morris made a promise to his team that he would try out for Major League Baseball if his team won the District Championship, something the team had never accomplished before. His team won the title, and Morris kept his end of the bargain by attending a Tampa Bay Devil Rays tryout. The scout wasn't interested in Morris, but gave him a tryout solely to let Morris keep his promise to his players. Surprisingly, Morris discovered that in spite of his age, and having several surgeries on his arm, he was able to throw 12 consecutive 98-mph fastballs. After much debate with his family, Morris signed a professional contract with the Devil Rays organization at the age of 35. He started out with the Minor League Double-A Orlando Rays, but after a few appearances he moved up to a spot with the Triple-A Durham Bulls. Thanks to solid pitching performances with Durham, Tampa Bay gave him a chance to pitch with the big club when the rosters expanded, and on September 18, 1999, against Royce Clayton of the Texas Rangers, the 35-year-old Morris made his debut, striking Clayton out on four pitches. His goal of pitching in the majors was finally realized, and he made four more appearances later that year.

Morris made 16 major league appearances in 2000, during which his arm problems recurred. His final appearance came on May 9, 2000, at Yankee Stadium. He entered a tie game in the bottom of the 10th inning with the bases loaded, and issued a game-ending bases-loaded walk to his first batter, Paul O'Neill, after which the Rays released him. He was not the losing pitcher in the game as the runner who scored on the walk was actually put on base by the previous pitcher, who was tagged with the loss. Morris never recorded any wins or losses in any of his major league appearances.

Morris was signed in December 2000 to a minor-league contract by the Los Angeles Dodgers, but was released during spring training. At the end of his major league career he was 0–0 with an ERA of 4.80 and 13 strikeouts.[2][3]

Morris has released an autobiography, The Oldest Rookie. He often appears as a motivational speaker, and currently receives $9000–$15000 for each appearance.[4][5]

A feature film made by Disney called The Rookie was released in 2002 about Morris's climb to the big leagues. He was portrayed in the film by actor Dennis Quaid.[6]

   当现实与梦想发生冲突的时候，是追梦还是驻足？我想我会选择驻足。
    梦太美了，并非每个人都有勇气去追赶的。人太现实社会太现实。现实的人终付不起追梦的代价，现实的社会提供不了追梦的氛围。
    人必须有梦，但不一定要追梦。如果要追梦也许应该记住一句不变的真理：成功只垂青那些有准备的头脑。奇迹来源于执着。
    不管是做痴心的追梦人，还是做驻足的现实人。抬起脚大胆得往前走，让梦想成为一切的动力。
    走吧，路总是在脚下。犹豫过后不管做何选择都没有必要再回头看了。最美的风景永远在前方。
