| | Notes | Another film about baseball, alas. But also about a catcher who is dying from Hodgkin's disease and his best friend who is determined that his friend lives and plays well until the end. From the novel by Mark Harris. Said to be "weepy" and with a poor performance from De Niro. Hodgkin's Disease: "marked by enlargement of the lymphatic glands and spleen, with progressive anaemia: also called lymph adenoma." OED.
