Yes, is there still hope for the Babe Ruth movie happening in the future? If they are "back to the drawing board" as you say, perhaps the option exists to produce the movie in, say, 2005 once all the tour is over and you are admiring the gold records for CHSIB? (Yes, I know Bat 3 throws a wrench into this, but give me my dreams!) Facially, I can't think of another actor who would be more perfect as the Babe, coupled with your athletic skills- boom, how could anyone else even be considered? I think it makes a world of difference in a film when an actor actually has some degree of baseball skills. Compare Tony Perkins as Jim Piersall in Fear Strikes Out (where he defined the statement "throws like a girl") with Kevin Costner in (the finest baseball movie ever) Bull Durham. Just my opinion...
