"With the Knights trailing by two runs in the bottom of the ninth, Roy Hobbs, bleeding from a bullet wound, grimaces through pain as he steps into the batters box. We see a closeup of the blood on his uniform. Then we see close-ups of his teammates on the bases, Pop Fisher in the dugout, Iris Gaines praying in the stands, the relief pitcher Youngberry, the catcher and Hobbs. The crowd roar builds. Youngberry rears back and fires...
Hobbs swings and hits a long fly to right -- it's going, it's going, it's . . . a foul ball. The crowd slumps in disappointment. Dejected, Hobbs turns around and starts to trot back to home plate." - final scene of The Natural as reported on ESPN.com
You know what happens next.
