First: A definition of hagiography: noun, the writing of the lives of saints. Saw the movie recently; thought it was excellent and worth seeing. Go. Any movie about baseball is worth seeing. How sad to see today's game, full of steroid strongmen, greedy agents and idiot owners (Luria, anyone?). By comparison to some of today's clowns, like A-Rod, maybe JR was a saint.
