Re: Movies: most improbable sporting event/feat?
--Tom Cruise has no idea how to drive a stock car at the beginning of "Days of Thunder", yet wins "five of the last six races, an unprecedented feat" a few months later.
--The umpires don't consider a rain delay during a monsoon at the end of "The Fan".
--Lou Brown brings in The Wild Thing to face a guy who has homered off him every time they have met; Willie Mays Hayes scores from second on a bunt; Jake Taylor BEATS IT OUT??? If they had Butch Hobson playing third base, charging the bunt, panicking, and air-mailing one to the seats behind the dugout, that would've been much cooler--AND the run would still be allowed to score!
--The Sports Guy recently pointed out that Kelly Leak bats in just about every inning of every Bad News Bears movie.
--Jean Claude van Damm stopping a penalty shot.
