Daily Dialogue — December 26, 2019

“You got an angel with you right now. Just got here.”

— Angels in the Outfield (1994), screenplay Dorothy Kingsley & George Wells and Holly Goldberg Sloan

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Angel.

Trivia: The film’s tagline, “Ya Gotta Believe” (also alluded to in the film), was coined by pitcher Tug McGraw. During the 1973 season, McGraw used the phrase to encourage his fellow New York Mets, who successfully turned around an underdog season to go to the World Series. He also used the tagline during the 1980 season for the Philadelphia Phillies who went on to win the World Series.

Dialogue On Dialogue: I was up for this writing assignment. Didn’t get it. Regret that because I love baseball and could have written the hell out of this story.
