Baseball Movies
I’m not much of a baseball fan. Â I know it’s America’s Pastime and all that, but it doesn’t do much for me. Â I do like going to an actual game and I have gotten redsox tickets sometimes, but even the thought of watching one on TV bores me. I will occasionally play a baseball videogame, but have never played through a whole season because I’m not a masochist. That said, I do enjoy baseball movies. Â The sport films well, I guess. Â Since Megan and I watched Moneyball last night, I thought I’d list my top four favorite baseball movies, a list that you will disagree with and vehemently tell me I’m wrong about.
It’s like the designated hitter rule. Some people love it. Some don’t.
The Natural
Bull Durham
Major League
Field Of Dreams
I haven’t seen Moneyball or For Love Of The Game.
Most people complain that For Love of the Game is more of a romance movie than a baseball movie.
