Plot: Joey Deluca is an ex-minor league baseball player working in his dad's sports bar. Since he left baseball, he's bounced from hobby to hobby, but hasn't stuck with anything long enough to find his new niche. Joey's brother, Rico, was a more successful and popular professional ball player. He owns the local Chevrolet dealership and coaches one of the town's little league baseball teams. When their father, Al, learns that the league needs one more coach, he insists that Joey take the job. The heart and soul of Joey's team, the Cubs, is a new kid in town named Lori. His mother died, and his father is in prison. Lori's goal is to take the field shagging balls at the upcoming Home Run Showdown. He desperately wants to be on television so his dad can see him from jail. However, only the league's top three teams can participate. He works diligently to ensure the Cubs' success, but Joey isn't as motivated. Al soon sweetens the deal for Joey by proposing that he'll leave his bar to the son whose team collects the most balls at the Home Run Showdown. Game on!

Oddball: Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?::Moriarty: Crap!

Oddball: Crazy! I mean like so many positive waves maybe we can't lose! You're on!

Kelly: Well Oddball, what do you think?::Oddball: It's a wasted trip baby. Nobody said nothing about locking horns with no Tigers.::Big Joe: Hey look, you just keep them Tigers busy and we'll take care of the rest.::Oddball: The only way I got to keep them Tigers busy is to LET THEM SHOOT HOLES IN ME!::Crapgame: Hey, Oddball, this is your hour of glory. And you're chickening out!::Oddball: To a New Yorker like you, a hero is some type of weird sandwich, not some nut who takes on three Tigers.::Kelly: Nobody's asking you to be a hero.::Oddball: No? Then YOU sit up in that turret baby.::Kelly: No, because you're gonna be up there, baby, and I'll be right outside showing you which way to go.::Oddball: Yeah?::Kelly: Yeah.::Oddball: Crazy...

Oddball: A Sherman can give you a very nice... edge.

[the lone obstacle to the sought-after gold is a solitary tank guarding the bank]::Crapgame: Then make a DEAL!::Big Joe: What kind of deal?::Crapgame: A DEAL, deal! Maybe the guy's a Republican. "Business is business," right?

Battleground (1949)

Actors: Van Johnson (actor), Richard Jaeckel (actor), James Arness (actor), Tommy Bond (actor), Herbert Anderson (actor), Richard Irving (actor), Bill Erwin (actor), Douglas Fowley (actor), Leon Ames (actor), Jean Del Val (actor), George Chandler (actor), Scotty Beckett (actor), Gene Coogan (actor), Billy Lechner (actor), Dickie Jones (actor),

Plot: We follow a band of American soldiers as they engage the Germans in a snowy, foggy winter near Bastogne in World War II. They're low on fuel, rations, and ammunition; the Germans are constantly encouraging their surrender via radio and leaflets, and most importantly, the pervasive thick fog makes movement and identification difficult and prevents their relief by Allied air support. This film focuses much more on the psychology and morale of the soldiers than on action footage and heroics.
