* ''Film/AngelsInTheOutfield'' is one of those feel good movies. It shows angels helping a down on their luck baseball team win the championship. Their star player is completely worn out and beaten until he sees the entire stadium giving the signal for angels on the field. Deciding there must be an angel here to help him, he makes the pitch and wins them the match, [[MagicFeather before discovering there wasn't an angel there at all]].

* Al telling Roger that Mel Clark is dying of lung cancer and won't live to see next season.


Added DiffLines:

* Al telling Roger that Mel Clark is dying of lung cancer and won't live to see next season. It's too far along to treat, meaning that if Roger told Mel, it would only make his last months worse. Roger is despondent, and talks with George about giving Mel one last moment of glory.
* Mel is exhausted from pitching, and apologizes to George when the coach comes to talk to him. He says that he needs to sub out for the benefit of the team. Then Roger stands up and starts flapping his arms. Others take up the signal, including the pitcher that would sub in for Mel and even one of the announcners. It's the signal that the angels are there, though we know they aren't. George tells him that angels or not, he believes in him.
* Mel makes the DivingSave, even though he was tired, that wins them the game. He shouts to George as they're being hoisted on the team's shoulders, "There ''are'' angels!" George then tells him there weren't, it was all him. Mel can't believe that he had that in him.

* The Angels losing the final game before the pennant just as Roger is forced to attend court, ending their long winning streak. Especially striking is how hard they take the loss, having stopped caring about how badly they were losing when it became the norm for them to do so......now utterly deflated and disheartened to have lost after the success they were enjoying with the real angels' help.
