Default Barnstorming
Always wished I coulda barnstormed, guess that's why Bingo Long is my favorite picture.
James Earl Jones was quite a hitter in this flick, but what other movie(s) will you find him slugging the ball?

'The Great White Hope' - though he played the boxer Jack Johnson, he suited up as a hopefully anonymous Negro League player to evade police. He wasn't actually shown hitting a baseball in that roll, but if memory serves, he swung a bat in response to questions of how he would defend himself.

In the Sayle's movie Matewan I believe Jones plays baseball while waiting out the coal strike.

Some of these baseball movies that have been mentioned are real classics. There are 2 movies nobody has mentioned: Safe at Home which starred Mickey Mantle & Roger Maris & The Pride Of St. Louis, which was story about Dizzy Dean. However, The Pride of the Yankees has to be the the #1 classic, since the Babe starred in the movie despite a great performance by Gary Cooper.
