James Earl Jones, as famous 60's writer Terrance Mann, talking to Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner): "The one constant throughall the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard,rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game, is a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us ofall that once was good, and that could be again. Oh people will come, Ray. People will most definitely come."
