THE NATURAL (1984) Once promising supernova Roy Hobbs (Robert Redford) stages a middle-aged comeback cheered on by his devoted sweetheart (Glenn Close).
BULL DURHAM (1988) An All-American romance that follows the travails of veteran catcher (Kevin Costner), he team's wild pitcher (Tim Robbins) and groupie (Susan Sarandon) who seduces both of them.
