Mets in the Movies

[Edgy MD]

Indifferently swiping through social media, I was fed a trailer for a film called American Summer.

I don't know how I made it as far as I did.  It had a baseball theme, and those are almost invariably bad.  It had Steve Gutenberg, and he has a lower batting average than baseball movies.  It had Christie Brinkley, the weird digital pristineness and perfect hair and family themes of a "faith" movie without being an explicit faith movie so far as I could see.  These are all indications of general badness, and the story as unfolding in the trailer was even worse than the sum of the parts listed above.

I didn't know what besides inertia was making me keep watching and suddenly ... holy shit!  That's Lee Mazzilli in this turkey!

The Mets Hall of Fame and a Steve Gutenberg film all in one year.  Lee Mazzilli can't be stopped!
