We Are Marshall is great but it lost a lot in my eyes when I found out that the "We are.. Marshall!" chant didn't happen until after the events of the movie. Throws off the whole thing.
I like "Miracle" as the sports movie I've ever seen. Great acting and accurate to the true story.
But, yeah, you're right - other sports just don't attract the quantity of quality movies that baseball does.
