Deluxe edition. For Love of the Game (1999) reunited Kevin Costner with one of his most popular subjects - baseball - as he starred as an aging pitcher who throws a perfect game at Yankee Stadium while reflecting upon his long-term relationship. An unexpected choice of material for director Sam Raimi, the film was lauded for it's depiction of the sport and it's uplifting Americana score by Basil Poledouris. Costner's Billy Chapel, pitching in his very last game, was an ideal protagonist and Poledouris responded with a rich, warm, melodic score that goes from the grandeur America's national pastime to the romantic yearning of it's very human hero. Originally released as a 10-track, 33-minute CD from Var?se Sarabande, the score has been expanded to 35 tracks and over 78 minutes for this Deluxe Edition, with Daniel Schweiger's liner notes incorporating interview material from Raimi, Poledouris and the composer's agent, Richard Kraft.
