The official site of Major League Baseball has posted a very positive review of Sean’s new movie on their website. They call the film “charming”, and they hope that it will become as popular as that “other” Iowa baseball movie Field of Dreams.

In this new movie — directed by David Mickey Evans of “Sandlot” and premiering this weekend at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York — the sport and the state are the only real similarities. It is about a little town called Norway (enrollment barely 100) and its real-life 1991 high school baseball team. Amazingly, this school had produced 19 state champions, consistently beating larger schools, and a mecca for scouts. Nearly half of Norway’s baseball players went on to college ball, and of those, 16 made it to the Majors. But that ‘91 season was the last because of school consolidations, and let’s just say that these guys went out in style.

It’s wonderful to see the positive buzz building!
