In 1911, Grover Cleveland Alexander - Alex to his friends - is a Nebraska country hayseed who says he wants to settle down, marry his girlfriend Aimee Arrants and be a farmer to offer Aimee a secure and stable life. However he always seems to drop everything whenever the opportunity to play baseball, specifically as a pitcher, arises. This focus on baseball does not sit well with either Aimee or her father, who see it as Alex solely wanting to have fun while shirking responsibility. When Alex is asked to pitch in a game against a visiting professional team, he seizes the chance and throws a three hitter en route to winning the game. That leads to a stint on that pro team, the money from which he promises to use to buy Aimee her farm. When an eye injury seems to end his career even before it begins, he changes his focus to being a farmer to please his now wife Aimee Alexander, but thoughts of baseball that can never be in his life still torture him. When his injury does eventually heal a year later, Aimee now wants him to do what makes him happy, which is to pitch. His contract now with the Philadelphia Phillies, Alex's rise in major league baseball with the Phillies and then the Chicago Cubs is meteoric. But some things threaten his career, such as World War I, insecurity about his previous injury and the resulting turn to alcohol. He's going to need Aimee's support to help him through this down slide to his possible redemption.

| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIts accuracy is in doubt, but it's a competently made straightforward standard biopic on Hall of Fame pitcher Grover Cleveland Alexander. |
| New York TimesBosley CrowtherTo be sure, this is a somewhat different version of the story of Alex the Great from the one that was solemnly published in his obituaries two years ago. |
| User ReviewBruce WGreat baseball movie, though the ending is a little cheesy. |
| User ReviewAj VThis is a good baseball movie with good actors and it's even based on a true story which makes it more interesting. |
| User ReviewOHSnappage .NIce film of baseball with a good cast and a good story. It was good! |
| User ReviewDon SGreat feel good redemption baseball story. Reagan was good as well as day. |
| User ReviewJohn YGreat baseball movie, though the ending is a little cheesy. |
| User Reviewjames oit's just no rate and you can touch his skin. |
| User ReviewZack BA nice little baseball bio about one of the more underrated legends of the game. Doris Day somehow gets top billing, but this is a Raegan movie all of the way. There is nothing spectacular about this movie, and it's not totally accurate. But the film gets the job done. Possibly only enjoyable to baseball fans. Features cameos by major league players inluding Babe Ruth stock footage. |
| User ReviewGreg Wronnie shines in this baseball bio-pic but its no 'pride of the yankees' |
