Okay maybe not but I liked it...it ain't the best but I didn't want to name one of the obvious ones....

Field of Dreams?
61?
Cobb?
The Natural?
The Rookie (Great Story)

 

[Wynn]

For me, it's:

1. The Natural
2. Bull Durham
3. Major League

 

[Loren78]

Good List....you gotta watch Major League at least once a year...Sheen is bad ass...plus Rene Russo is in it....and that ain't a bad thing...

 

[ParanoidAndroid]

Bull Durham

THREAD CLOSED!

 

[FairWarning]

Eight Men Out

cobb is a very underrated movie. Tommy lee jones is great in that movie.

I always found that "clear the mechanism" thing pretty funny because when I played that is exactly how it was. I didn't hear anything or anyone once I got in the batters box.

ED. A monkey and the dude from friends on a minor league team
Major league 1 and 2. Wild Thing
The movie where the kid pitches for the cubs.
The movie where the kid manages for the twins.
Major League 3. The Buzz vs Twins.

Conversation over.

Eight Men Out

This one is always overlooked...probably cuz Field of Dreams dealt with the whole Shoeless Joe Scandal

 

[soccerbob]

1. Field of Dreams- My all-time favorite movie. I thought Kevin Costner and James Earl Jones were so good together. Even though he batted right handed, Ray Liotta played a very good Shoeless Joe Jackson.

2. Tha Natural- Robert Redford was marvelous as Roy Hobbs. This movie always makes me feel good.

3. Eight Men Out- Very good cast and a lot of gambling references. The old uniforms and the scenery made me feel like I was back in 1919. I thought John Cusack as third baseman Buck Weaver played his part very well.

Only Lee could have played that role...Goodman maybe if he lost weight...

I think a lot of players do this...especially in Bronx and Chicago...where the curse words and the stuff thrown at you can really get in your head....Milton Bradley needs to watch this movie...and learn this technique before he kills somebody...

It's Major League without question to me.

The more in depth you are telling a story, the worse of a baseball movie it is.
It's not what the game is about.

Field of Dreams is my favorite baseball movie and one of my favorite movies from any genre.

Field of Dreams..



The Natrual is excellent as is "The pride of The Yankees" (Gary Cooper as Lou Gehrig).

I will have to hit the Free Market to find this one....If I were to ask the fool at the desk at blockbuster about this movie, he might have me arrested for making him think....classics are hard to find these days...
