The clash between young and full of talent and aged wisdom is an interesting theme.  Baseball happened to be a great medium for this message.  If only the young could know all that the experienced do, their lives would be much easier.  The co-mentoring of Costner and Sarandon happened to do wonders for “Nuke”.

What we can take away from this is simple;

if you’re young and talented: understand that you’ll be spinning your wheels without some guidance

if you’re experienced: understand the young guys need some pointers and once they get it, they will be the future

if you are neither young, talented nor experienced: understand there are people who are, and you should probably try to be friends with them so they can bring you to the top/ switch majors
