Robin William's character promises his son that he will make his baseball game ("My word is my bond") but continually misses. One great scene is where the dad promises that he will be at the son's big game, but gets tied up with work and instead sends an assistant to videotape it for him. When it is the sons turn to bat with the game on the line he looks for his dad but after seeing the guy videoing the game for his dad strikes out losing the game. (submitted by Rick Patterson)
