Best Baseball Movie of All Time (2 Viewers)

[Big Jilm]

Poll is missing one of my favorites, Long Gone. Check it out if you get a chance.

Long Gone

Did I ever tell you about the time I struck out Ted Williams?

One of my FAVs - I could quote the whole damn movie I've seen it so many times

I noticed you included the youtube link (thank you) --- only freaking way you can watch it now. Out of print - no one streams it - Unfortunate

Fun thread!

My top 3 would be:

1. The Natural (one of my all-time favorite movies)
2. Major League
3. Bull Durham

Sorry, I didn't read through every page - did anyone mention/see "Undrafted" 2016? Co-written and directed by Joe Mazzello (the kid from Jurassic Park 1 and who has been in a lot of stuff since then, lol). I wouldn't call it one of the greatest baseball movies ever made but pretty entertaining I think. Some of it brought me back to my little league days in Boston, 74-76 (Go Sox! ). I can't find a link to it but if anyone wants to see it, I can upload it and post a link later on...

For the poll, I think Field of Dreams is probably my number one - simply for the fact that I miss my dad (damn movie makes me tear up every time I watch it) and would give anything to be able to spend some time with him again...

Your comments about your dad made me tear up…I lost my own dad to Covid just over a year ago. And like you, I’d give anything to have more time with him. Sure do miss him…

Field of Dreams. Shoeless Joe!! Too bad he got mixed up in that bullshit. I don't think he was even in on the fix. Paid the price though

In case anyone was interested, here is an Ok copy of Undrafted 2016 (sorry the resolution isn't better):

To be fair, I've never seen Sandlot or Bad News Bears.

See "Right Men Out" for a more detailed take on this story.

Ugh, I meant "Eight men out" of course.

Just re-reading this list, I can honestly say that I love every one of the movies, except for Sugar - I've never even heard of that one. I guess I should track it down.

Right after a stirring rendition of the National Anthem by noted Opera Singer Enrico Pallazzo.

Cobb was really good. Also...Major Leage To be fair, I've never seen Sandlot or Bad News Bears.

This one didn't make it into Major League, but was used on a trailer. I think they brought the line back in ML2.

Jake Taylor : That ball wouldn't have been out of a lot of parks.
Rick Vaughn : Name one.
Jake Taylor : Yellowstone?
