What's your favorite baseball movie?

[YankeeCollector]

I was flipping thru channels and found "Field of Dreams"! I can watch this movie a zillion times. Also love 61*

[kmac32]

A league of their own. Loved Tom Hanks in it.

[t206hound]

Field Of Dream is definitely my favorite, with Bull Durham a close second.

[scooter729]

Something about Pedro Cerrano makes "Major League" right near or at the top of my favorites...

[Runscott]

'The Natural', followed by '9 Men Out'

Bull Durham

This son of a bitch is throwing a two-hit shutout. He's shaking me off. You believe that shit? Charlie, here comes the deuce. And when you speak of me, speak well.

[kmac32]

Forgot about Major League. It's awesome also.

[sycks22]

Major league is tops. "What are you still doing here?" "Couldn't cut it in the Mexican league" Quotes galore in there.

Bang the Drum Slowly (1973), with Michael Moriarty and Robert De Niro.
The original live TV version, which aired on U.S. Steel Hour in 1956, is terrific too. It stars Paul Newman and Albert Salmi.

[zljones]

8 men out and The Natural for me

I was also shot at Milwaukee County Stadium. I almost went to be an extra during the shooting. I should have done it. But I was only 17 at the time.

Hi Ted--

I've seen The Stratton Story several times. The actor who played the scout who found Stratton was also the Wizard of Oz.

[cobblove]

Major League!!!
We used to watch it on the bus when we were in the playoffs as a tredition. Justin Ruggiano now playing for Tappa Bay Rays was on my team then 1996-2000 anderson high. The good old days! Love that move period!

"Baseball, a Film by Ken Burns" - and for me, favorite by a country mile.

Regarding those released in theatres, I would give a nod to Bull Durham.

Best Regards,

GREAT historical movie. I watched the first 4 or 5 parts last week for the first time. Loaded with stuff I didnt know.

[Sean]

Bull Durham
Field of Dreams
A League of Their Own
Eight Men Out
The Sandlot

[AMBST95]

Bull Durham - the conference on the mound is hilarious. "we're dealing with a lot of s#€t!".

I'm also a fan of Cobb, accurate or inaccurate, it's a great movie.

The Final Season starring Rudy (Sean Astin) was a good one also.

[bigtrain]

Great line in "Modern Family" episode that aired last night.
Q: "What did we learn from "A League of Their Own"?
A: "That there's no crying in baseball?"
Reply: No, that Madonna can't act."

A League of Their Own is my all time favorite. Just so many great lines and Hanks is terrific. "Wow! Avoid the clap... Jimmy Dugan" "That's good advice."

[WWGjohn]

"It Happens Every Spring"

I almost killed Elsa Jansen. She said (of Gary Cooper), "all baseball players are good for nothing." For those needing a refresher course, she played Lou Gehrig's mother in "Pride of the Yankees."

[the 'stache]

The Natural, hands down...though Moneyball is my new favorite film. Can't go wrong with either, really.
