  SCREEN IT! PARENTAL REVIEW: FEVER PITCH
After seeing Lindsey, one of Ben's 9th grade students proclaims, "She was a major hottie," and a comment is then made, "I saw her glance to the pants." A kid then says that Lindsey is packing heat and Ben doesn't have the bat speed for her.
Lindsey suggestively tells Ben, "I'll be waiting," causing Ben to get excited and say that all of this talk of waiting makes him not want to wait anymore (meaning for sex, and he kisses her face/neck).
Ben is flustered, and replies that they're not the first couple to have to deal with that, and then starts to say "When two people..." as he puts his fingers together to suggest sex.

 James Sanford reviews Fever Pitch
Growing up without a father, Ben became inextricably attached to the Red Sox and now, as a 30-year-old, he realizes baseball is as much a part of his day-to-day life as breathing.
"Fever" believably points out that Lindsey's workaholism -- she brings along her laptop and cell phone to Sox games, much to the irritation of Ben's fellow die-hard fans -- is considered socially acceptable by many of her peers, while Ben's devotion to the Great American Pastime is regarded as a sign of overextended boyhood.
The writers' bias shows a bit, however, since Ben is portrayed as a cuddly goofball, the kind of high school geometry teacher who lets his shirt tail poke out from underneath his sweater vest, while Lindsey is less charmingly defined.
