Yes! This is the movie I saw. I don't remember completely, but seem to think he was upset at being traded to Pittsburg, and that factored into his retiring relatively young.
Regardless, fans should cut players some slack for leaving (better teams, better cities/lifestyle, more money), because teams/owners made plenty of cold hearted trades back in the days prior to free agency.
