The Winning Season

About This Movie

The Winning Season is an interesting blend of nostalgia and whimsy, focusing on a young boy's dream and his connection to baseball's past. Joe Soshack, played by a young actor who embodies the spirited nature of a 12-year-old, finds a magical Honus Wagner card that transports him to the 1909 World Series. The film captures that golden age of baseball with some neat practical effects, creating an atmosphere that's both enchanting and heartfelt. While the storyline drifts between the love for the game and a bittersweet romance, it’s really about that childhood sense of wonder. The pacing has a leisurely, dreamlike quality, which might not appeal to everyone, but it really draws you in if you appreciate that classic family movie vibe.
