THE BABE (1992)
Boston exorcised its Curse of the Bambino by finally beating the Yankees and winning the World Series in 2004, but Hollywood has yet to shake its Ruthian hex. A heavy and poorly made-up Goodman plays the Babe (apparently Dom DeLuise was busy) as an unbridled force of nature, but the gee-whiz script falls flat following grittier baseball fare like Eight Men Out (1989).
