I’ll admit, it’s been several years since I’ve seen it.I'm a big believer in creative license, but I also think you better rewatch the Moonlight Graham scenes.

You're right that the real-life Moonlight Graham (1876-1965) was dead when the film was made, and when W.P. Kinsella wrote "Shoeless Joe" in 1982. So your point is valid. But in the movie, Graham was the one "living" player who arrived at the field via car, not corn.I’ll admit, it’s been several years since I’ve seen it.
Did Chuck just call that a DP? There were already 2 outs, sweetie!
Great novel by Kinsella. Read it 2-3 times. Much better than the movie (also seen 2-3 times), which was also pretty darn good.You're right that the real-life Moonlight Graham (1876-1965) was dead when the film was made, and when W.P. Kinsella wrote "Shoeless Joe" in 1982.
When he was calling for a DP, you may have just misunderstood him.There was a guy in 201 all night calling for the double play with 2 outs. He was serious every time.
Oh. I see what you’re saying now.You're right that the real-life Moonlight Graham (1876-1965) was dead when the film was made, and when W.P. Kinsella wrote "Shoeless Joe" in 1982. So your point is valid. But in the movie, Graham was the one "living" player who arrived at the field via car, not corn.
He may have been a film director.When he was calling for a DP, you may have just misunderstood him.
Not sure how they calculate ball flight here. (0.5 seconds ???) I counted 2.3 Mississippies.That's was out of Lupton in about 3 seconds.
Or he might've been John Mullaney practicing for the Oscars.He may have been a film director.
