DANTE'S PEAK In "For Love of the Game," an aging superstar's career comes down to one last one final MARY .. game, chance at proving he's still a viable player. That superstar's name: Kevin Costner, His character, fictitious Detroit Tigers pitcher Billy Chapel, is in the same boat. I won't reveal what happens to whether or not he's Chapel able to pull off that last win but as for Costner, he hits this one out of the park. After a string of disappointing (and even downright bad) films, Costner reminds us here why we ever liked him in the fiiut place. He IS capable of acting, even emoting at times. He can be charming and likable. When he wants to be, he's an effective Everyman, a guy that both men Rwitate The most popular video rentals for the week ending Sept 5. Warner 1.

Scully is the premier baseball announcer Unlay, a living legend, really, and his descriptions of the game in this movie make the whole pas time seem m.'igical again. Maybe it's my own fond memories of his voice in my house, calling the IMgers games every Saturday afternoon, but if Vin Scully tells me that baseball is a fantastic game, and a metaphor for life, and everything else this movie tells me it is, I Ivelieve him. e play-by-pla- You'll believe, too. 3 stars.

It's a compelling storytelling format, and the leisurely sport of baseball lends itself nicely to such reflection (though the movie, like a game of basvball. does get sluggish at times and is a bit The movie is about love, of course, as Chapel eventually realizes his love for Jane and his error in neglecting her in order to eat, drink and sleep baseball.
