The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball.

His cadence throughout the monologue is perfect.

“It will be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters.”

“America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It’s been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time.”

”Oooh, people will come, Ray. People will most definitely come.”

Oh god, I kept thinking I was forgetting lines from the sandlot. I had completely forgotten about field of dreams.

I should eventually watch that.

Definitely do that. And then read the book. Basic story is the same as the film but there’s an entire plot with the Cubs that plays a pretty major role in the book and then I don’t think a Cubs player even get shown in the film.

Yeah, I read the book first and was pleased not to be disappointed by the movie. Liotta, Lancaster, and Jones all delivered.
 
I first heard of him years ago when he was in a Subaru commercial. Subaru used people with names of cars of Subaru competitors. “Mercury drives Subaru…” I can still hear that jingle. Susan Ford (daughter of former president Gerald Ford) was also in it. Does anyone else remember that ad?

Obviously I am more than a bit older and remember Morris as a fairly decent running back. And yes I recall the commercial you mention. I remember thinking they were going to run out of people with car names fairly quickly unless they started to use the groups from the 50's rock era that recorded (the Cadillacs, the Fleetwoods, etc.). Subaru has a times been very inventive with their ad campaigns my favorite being the one with Butch the dog preventing the boyfriend from sleeping with the hot girl who drives the blue Crosstrek.
