Buy The Man From Left Field on DVD

Circuit City has "The Man From Left Field" available to purchase on DVD for $9.99. According to their website, Platinum Disc (which also released "Buffalo Girls" last summer) released the DVD on April 5, 2005. Until today, this movie wasn't known to exist on DVD, and the VHS version is out of print. Approximate running time is 97 minutes, with a PG-13 rating.

The baseball-movie cycle of 1992-93 was one of the inspirations for the made-for-TV "The Man From Left Field." Looking more like a member of the Manson Family than a Hollywood sex symbol, Burt Reynolds (who also directed) plays Jack, a derelict amnesiac who shambles onto a Florida sandlot and collapses. He is discovered by a ragtag group of kids who'd like to form a baseball team but who have no self-confidence...and no coach. When it transpires that Jack is an ace ballplayer, he is pressed into service, and in so doing unlocks the door to his cloudy past. Reba McEntire plays one of the team mothers, who -- but of course! -- falls in love with Jack. "The Man From Left Field" first aired October 15, 1993, just in time for the World Series. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
