Again, great handle.

Easy, Bull Durham!

Without a doubt, Field of Dreams. It doesn't get any better than one.

Honorable mentions: For Love of the Game, Eight Men Out, The Rookie, Bull Durham, Cobb.

Someone else mentioned Soul of the Game. I just saw this for the first time last weekend. It's wasn't a blockbuster, but its worth seeing.

Field of Dreams for me.

Sister-in-law: Ray, You don't even rotate your crops.
Ray: What's a crop?

A few years ago I sent away for a Field of Dreams coffie mug with the corn field pictured on it. When you put coffee in the mug the players appear and come out of the field.

Bang the Drum Slowly was a good one. Does anyone remember the name of the card game they played and what the name was short for? (Random trivia)

Can't remember nor can I find the site. I'll keep looking.

Ken Burns' Baseball
Moneyball

As a kid:
Rookie of the Year
Ferris Bueller
Angels in the Outfield

Regarding Ferris Bueller, I realized a life-long dream last year. While in town for the Chicago National, I went to my first Cubs game. The first words to come out of my mouth when I sat down were "Heeeeeeeeeeeey Batter, batter, batter, batter, swing, batter. He can't hit, he can't hit, he can't hit, he can't hit, swing, batter." I can't wait til next year!

Thanks Eric! When Moonlight Graham's name appeared on the scoreboard at Fenway, I got chills-and still do! Phenominal part of the movie. Take care!
