In 1908 Nebraska, young Grover Cleveland "Alex" Alexander (Ronald Reagan) saves to buy a farm for himself and his fiancée, Aimee (Doris Day), but also longs to realize his dream of playing baseball.

Once he recovers, he and Aimee wed, and he returns to baseball and begins an increasingly successful career -- until he's diagnosed with epilepsy, which he struggles to hide from the public and Aimee.

This is a good baseball movie with good actors and it's even based on a true story which makes it more interesting.

Standard biopic with Reagan adequate in the lead and Doris pert if a bit overly gushy as the wife. The background info is full of the usual fictions but at least they stick to the baseball facts pretty well.
