Almost Perfect: The 99th Pitch

About This Movie

Almost Perfect: The 99th Pitch is this fascinating documentary that dives deep into a game that, on the surface, might seem just like another April afternoon in 1990. But for die-hard baseball fans, it’s a moment frozen in time. Holman’s performance against the Athletics is heart-wrenching, captured with a blend of archival footage and interviews. The atmosphere feels heavy, almost palpable, as they dissect the tension of near perfection. The pacing gives you just enough time to absorb the weight of the moment, while the interviews reveal the human side of the game—what it means to be so close yet so far. It’s more than just stats; it’s about dreams, expectations, and the bittersweet nature of sports.
