    The best part of The Natural is that Redford was only two years younger than Wilford Brimley.https://twitter.com/Super70sSports/status/1357870129997107202 …

    Carved his bat out of a tree downed by lightning as a child, then showed up in the majors as a 48-year-old rookie and just started launching bombs with that fucker. Broke it, then took a fat kid’s janky bat, crushed a 500-foot pennant winner with it. The GOAT. pic.twitter.com/jJfuGZhbvI

        Thought you were kidding at first. Fact checked you, and, no, you were not kidding.

        That's why Wilford implored us to eat Quaker Oats, and to check our blood sugar.

        I want to see some photos of Wilford Brimley as a child just to make sure he didn't live his whole life as a man over fifty.

        It's a wonderful story. Guessing Redford had always wanted to make it. But he was way too old and should have let it go to a younger lead. Tough to maintain suspension of disbelief throughout.

        I believe Brimley was 10 years older than Redford.
