Nope, it’ll be a new 35mm print of Klute, a forgotten 1971 Jane Fonda-Donald Sutherland...
...give his pitchers a mound to throw off. Undeterred by the lack of their own facilties, Walsh and his players would hop the fence and borrow the Crimson’s pitching mounds, tuning their change-ups and slinging their fastballs until dawn (or the athletic director) appeared to chase them off the premises...
