Baseball motion pictures showed this in movies such as Bull Durham, where the main character still stays in the minor leagues and unfortunately with a new team.

plus semi-autobiographical details of the author, plus smut. The smut is lugged in by the ears, is unnecessary, is not amusing. The semi-autobiographical details make me faintly sick at my stomach.
