    A film that explores the same topic and a slightly similar story to The Natural is “The Perfect Game.” While they both deal with the topic of Baseball and the expression of teams, they differ through how the stories begin and how The Perfect Game emphasizes more on just baseball.

The beginning of The Natural is much more dramatic as the reader is introduced to a character named Sam that Roy is friends with, after which is he killed soon…

    United States President John F. Kennedy reacted by making a naval blockade around Cuba, and promised not to invade Cuba if the Soviet Union removed the nuclear weapons from the country (“Cuban Missile Crisis”).
