In the Dallas area, we have had seen quite a few sport-hero-types act out, due to their addictive / compulsive lifestyles. Many times, they'll apologize to let us see that they are trying to make nice; in spite of their last slip up. In Home Run, we catch Cory Brand playing out the same scenario. He messes up then jumps through the hoops to lessen the consequences he has set in motion. If he can charm his way past the media and team fine; he'll come out smelling like a rose.
However,in Home Run - Cory does get a chance to take a good, long look at his painful past and end the process of spiraling out of control - that is, IF he will let himself. As he goes from one chaotic mess to another,Cory begins to slow down long enough to reach out for help.
After listening to others reveal the pain that they have worked through, Cory finds himself hitting bottom. From there, he and the guys in his recovery group experience a way to break free of the demons that once dogged their every step. It's nice to see an athlete progress from "bad-boy felon" to a responsible adult, where life may not be a total Hollywood-Happy-Ending; but, more like, living one day at a time - enjoying one moment at a time - accepting hardship as a pathway to living in peace. This is refreshing. Grab you teenagers and go catch Home Run.
