Mark. I just recently retired and my wife and I decided to drive across the country. Of course we attended as many baseball games as possible intertwined with our love of the National Park System. Late one evening we were looking for lodging as we made our way through Colorado. We decided to check out the Best Western Movie Manor in Monte Vista Colorado. The second floor room we stayed in (Room 204...The Jodie Foster Room) overlooked the Star Drive-in Movie Theater and the sound was pumped into our room through overhead speakers. My wife and I grabbed some local beer and sat in front of our picture window to watch The Hill. The Hill is a 2023 American biographical sports drama film about baseball player Rickey Hill overcoming a physical handicap in order to try out for a legendary major league scout starring Dennis Quaid. I don't know if it was the experience associated with watching a movie in such a unique setting while drinking a local Colorado beer, but the entire evening was magical. We found the film to be emotional and inspirational. We both loved it and couldn't understand why it wasn't more popular. It was certainly a highlight among many during our five and a half months on the road. Check it out! Be well and I loved your article! Pat Mahady...Ibelay@aol.com.
Tomorrow's Game is a 2023 baseball movie that is family friendly and has time travel! Worth checking out.
