I worked at McAlpin's in Cherry Grove. We had a little TV set up in the Men's Department, and everyone gathered around for each at bat. It really was something.

About 4192, did not see the movie but am so happy something like this was brought to fruition. The night of Pete's 4192 hit, I was working in a car dealership, in the cashier's office. it was a very slow night. I was allowed to go home & get my 13 in color tv (Rabbit ears ruled back then) as I lived close by. The manager was, unbeknownst to him or us, dying of leukemia & getting treatment. He told me to go home and get my tv so we could see Pete's at bats. He would answer phones & run the office. That was a HUGE OFFER of a manager so this game was important, even to non-sport lovers, I think. When Pete came to bat, I announced on the PA and all salesman or managers crowded into the cashier's office. When Pete got the hit, there were whoops & tears from grown men. Some had to leave the room caught up in their emotions as they were not used to public displays.. It was a special moment I will always remember. I thank Pete for the memories of that night and the sweetness I saw in an otherwise, macho industry. I hope to see this movie soon and am glad such a movie was made. In this tell all, share all, Fake reality tv/tabloid age, I think we could use a little taste of how things used to be. Excuse a short digression, please.

I cannot imagine the amound of house editing Rose's stories of his milestones, players, games, etc. The film's footage, editing, music choices all were so top notch. Thank you for the Facebook link! I look foward to your next project! One thing I forgot to mention was how spectacular the editing was!

Barking Fish will take the responsibility for the cluster f*&k at the Levy. The first screening sold out so quickly with many friends and family missing out, that we decided to rush and offer a second screening -- the day before the Premiere! I'm not sure folks appreciate the effort of turning around a second screening that fast, but nonetheless, we do apologize for any and all inconveniences. That aside, I wanted to say kudos on a review that actually had something to do with the actual film itself. It seems funny that folks in the media are so quick to jump on what it's NOT about, even though the film is called "4192". September 11 is the 25th Anniversary of a record that will probably never be broken and for an event of that magnitude in any sport to simply be passed over, would've been the real crime. I do feel that it is the most complete film on Pete's playing career (you can check it) and the only reason it gets the whole "love fest" thing is because we ended on the record. Watch "The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg". Now is that considered "gratuitous"? If the haters out there really need their fix for negativity, rent "Hu$tle" as a double feature. There's nothing new to tell people. Old news. And in our defense, we did cover 22 years of his playing career AND him growing up in Cincinnati. That's a lot to cover me thinks! Just sayin ... But I am very happy that YOU seem to "get" the reason the film was made. I am very proud of it and hope the fans love it as much as I loved making it! I did post the link to the story on the Facebook Fan page. Thanks again for reviewing the film and your experience of it on their own merit. First, let me get this out of the way.

Pretty sure the lights were AMC's issue. I would have rathered seen this in an indie theatre but alas I don't think there is one large enough in Cincinnati and a drive in would not have worked for the speakers.
