Once again this year the base ball hall of fame has decided to induct just ONE player into its hallowed halls. THis seems a travesty of its own, and the steroid era weighs heavy on the count still. THis is not how baseball is supposed to make us feel. It supposed to be pastoral, the same game played by ruth and gehrig is played today (albeit with 6 more games and expanded playoffs and rosters) Similarly the pro football hall of fame has become such a money grab and huge event (blown WAY out of proportion even according to this sports fan) that its hard to celebrate some of the players for the opposite reason, just too many (imo).
Isnt sports supposed to be an emotional connection? There are some fictional athletes that have taken me on better journeys than their real life counterparts, and thats what were going to talk about this week. A little site I found that got this episode off the ground, the fictitious athlete hall of fame.
Welcome to 1m1csh Im Chris and this week were going to try something a little different around here. I have used the benefits of ai to help me write up some NEW stories for some of these heroes of cinema and screen. So this week, youll get a quasi historical write up, and perhaps some AI generated fanfic thrown in. Since its ALL about fictitious characters, im going to let YOU decide which is which. Do you know the stories of these on screen athletes?
People love sports movies for a variety of reasons. One reason is that sports movies often have relatable and inspiring themes of overcoming adversity and achieving success against all odds. Additionally, sports movies often feature compelling characters and exciting game action that keeps audiences engaged. Additionally, many people enjoy the nostalgia associated with sports movies, which can remind people of their own experiences playing sports or watching them as a fan. Additionally, many sports movies are based on real-life events or real-life athletes, which can add a level of authenticity and realism to the story. Also, some people find that sports movies serve as an escape from the stresses of everyday life, allowing them to get lost in the action and drama of the story.
