Jimmy G @RT84158691 Jan 5, 2025 A very disjointed and uninteresting documentary. Probably one of the worst Ive ever seen. It has no depth and shows the backstory of a fan and supposedly how his idea of giving a player a standing ovation turned his season around. It was really interesting to hear from the player’s side of things and his thoughts….. oh wait, there was none of that. Actually there was none of anything.

Everybody needs someone in their corner, cheering them on & that voice is just so powerful. A message to those battling as well as those supporting.

As a big Toronto sports fan (whether it be the Leafs, Raptors, Jays, Argos, or the TFC), I never could allow myself to like other cities or teams. But I always had a soft spot for the Phillies, and that’s mainly due to Roy Halladay being traded to their by the Jays. So when I saw that this doc was available, I was interested cause I actually had no idea Trea Turner was struggling that bad that season. Its a really interesting doc, juxtaposing a regular guy who happens to be a big time Phillies fan, and with Trea. Both were struggling with things. The regular guy was going through depression and some dark thoughts, and though he was a bit like the stereotype of a Philadelphia fan (loud and somewhat mean), its an incredible turn of nature here where he realizes that maybe the way to get Trea to get out of his struggle is through love. And through a viral campaign, he and the fans give Trea a standing ovation to lift his spirits. And lift them did they ever, cause Trea went on a crazy streak of hitting. What I appreciate most about this doc is showing how something as simple as sport or baseball can unite and uplift folk. For this man, he helped get out of his darkness while also learning that love was the way. That love helped his team, and in turn, showed him and others that there’s so much to life. We should romanticize things that we love: its what makes us human. So when someone says and asks why you like a certain thing, just tell them you do because you do! Because all of us deserve to feel loved and deserve to show love to whatever we love! See more Les N @Vegas628 Oct 22, 2024 Was he paid? I am sure he deserved money See more Daniel P @RT40894192 Oct 20, 2024 Not a very good documentary. It's actually all about Jon and hardly about Trea Turner. It also tries to frame it like the Phillies are grateful to Jon and ask him to show up on opening day, except they did that because he's a season ticket holder and nothing else.
