Actually, it was double-naught spy Jethro Bodine.

One of my favorite sports movie quotes is the dialogue from "The Natural", at the end of the movie, between Roy Hobbs (Redford) and the coach (Wilfred Brimley). I don't remember it verbatim, but it goes something like...

Coach: My mom wanted me to be a farmer.
Hobbs: My dad wanted me to be a ballplayer.

Coach looks at Hobbs briefly.

Coach: Well, you're the best player I ever had. And, you're the best damn hitter I've ever seen. Go suit up.

Awesome. I never get tired of that piece of dialogue. I get goose bumps just typing it.
