I refuse to see this movie unless there is a scene involving the 2006 Cardinals in which the guy playing David Eckstein sings about being young, scrappy, and hungry.

Ha this fits everything about him, a 5’7 walk on at Florida. He was here in London with Jake Arieta for the Cubs Cardinals week. Pretty great guy. Kids loved his story
Cards fan here. I watched the post game after the final game. Eckstein won Series MVP which was a new Corvette. GM CEO handed him the keys. Eckstein: "I have never had a new car before" For real.
I met him behind home plate when media and VIPs were milling around before a 2013 World Series game and we talked briefly. He was wearing a Mr. Rogers sweater and was about as nice as someone could be.
Ok that would be good but why stop there? hear me out: the 2002 angels. Not only do you get the joys of David eckstein, but bonus Adam Kennedy, and darin erstad (did you know he was a punter in college?)
Do you get to sing about that if you've already won a WS 4 years prior?! Don't get me wrong, Eckstein is a favorite, but I feel like his moment for this song was in 2002

Oh my gosh, i was wrong. The stats helped all along. I guess you finally made a stathead outta me.."🎶
Anyhow, I doubt his movie will focus on José Molina’s framing, so it will be worthless from a baseball standpoint too.
Well, perhaps Julio Iglesias is there with him too.
but I am 5'2ish!"
