Author: PG/DRA

KDL Description:

I have a double-duty recommendation! The baseball theme is a minor part of the movie, but it really brings out the tears!
Morgan/Walker

– Simon Birch may have a small body, but his heart is as big as they come. This movie of strength, friendship and faith is at least a 5 tissue tear-jerker. (There’s also a baseball scene…so this covers two of the themes ;-)
