Kevin Costner and Kelly Preston star in the romantic drama For
Love of the Game. Directed by Sam Raimi (A
Simple Plan) and produced by Armyan Bernstein (Air
Force One) and Amy Robinson (Once
Around), the film takes a provocative look into the professional
and personal passions of Billy Chapel (Costner), a legendary
baseball pitcher nearing the end of his career who is forced
to re-examine his priorities when confronted with unexpected
circumstances: Not only is he about to be traded after 20 years
with the same team, but the woman he has been with for several
years, Jane Aubrey (Preston), is leaving him.
In the midst of pitching a perfect game against the New
York Yankees, Chapel, who has been the heart and soul of
the Detroit
Tigers, thinks back upon his long career and his tempestuous
relationship with Jane. Aware that the stakes in his life have
increased dramatically, the veteran ballplayer knows that he
has some serious decisions to make by the bottom of the ninth
inning.
The screenplay of For Love of the Game was written by Dana
Stevens, based upon the novel by Michael Shaara.
