The Natural is a classic. It is worth watching for its acting, its story, its script, its shot selection..everything. I think it has only become hokey at the end because of so many parodies. Imitation is the highest form of flattery.
Ratings

On a scale from high and tight to "Juuuuuuuust a bit outside", I give The Natural 4.18 out of 5 stars.
