Hollywood Endings vs Book Endings

So I read this book about this guy Roy Hobbs who plays for this fictional team called the New York Knights. In the book he strikes out and then he's accused of throwing the game (where you lose on purpose) and is therefore banned from playing professionally from then on and the story ends with him as a broken man.

In the movie he hits a home run and in doing so he sets off fireworks when the ball hits the stadium's upper lights and causes them all to explode and he becomes a hero. So anyway, it can be a bit silly when a book and movie have totally different endings, although some people like the book ending better and some people like the movie ending better.
