Classic score that evokes baseball and more

"Basil Poledouris came up with a beautiful haunting score. This score has already been used by professional sports broadcasts on tv from the end of the baseball season for the Chicago Cubs last fall to the AT&T Pro-Am at Pebble Beach last February. The CD brings back all the moments from the movie...drama and emotion. Although the cd is a little short in length, part of that is due to the fact you don't want it to end. You won't go wrong with this soundtrack!"
Another beautiful score

"This one's great. Another beautiful score from Basil, one in which he branches out a little, introducing the occasional electric guitar (only occasionally - doesn't overwhelm) and gets a little R&B track in as well. But his trademarks are still there: beautiful melodies and a strong sense of the epic - somehow he manages to mix a sense of gentleness with a sense of underlying, almost archetypal strength in so many of his scores. Thoroughly enjoyable. Although, as with most scores these days, the CD is a little short timewise."
A must buy for any film soundtrack fan!

"Wow! What a treat. When I first picked up this soundtrack, I didn't pay it much mind. Then it started to grow on me and now it's one of my favorites. Even though the music is aimed at baseball, try listening to the closing theme while standing at the rim of the Grand Canyon. Knocked my socks off! If nothing else, the opening theme is something to behold and well worth the price of the CD. Buy it now!"

"I ordered the incorrect cd - it turned out to be good listening music and I have it playing while I am painting on my portraits"
