Major League

"The Indians win it, the Indians win it! Oh my God, the Indians win it!"

"You trying to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball?"

"This guy here is dead"
"Cross him off, then"


Love the movie ... love it

Field of Dreams


it just doesn't get old. I can watch it a thousand times.



The Natural, 61*, Major League and the Sandlot are all great too though.

The Sandlot

I just love this movie because the boys play baseball just to be playing baseball.

I don't think there isn't a single movie on this list I don't like though. The only one I haven't seen is Pride of the Yankees.

I voted for The Sandlot, I have fond memories of watching that movie as a kid. And I also want to mention Angels In The Outfield, such a heartwarming story.

also, Rookie of the Year should've been on the poll too.


Rookie of the Year> League of their own

Incredibly hard to choose between Pride of the Yankees and Field of Dreams. Went with Pride, for Cooper and the speech.

Bull Durham, slightly over Field Of Dreams (read Shoeless Joe!) and Major League.

I'm not a Kevin Costner fan, but Field of Dreams was pretty good.

Agh, I hate being asked this question, because it's such a tough decision to make. Pride of the Yankees is just incredible, Gary Cooper makes a spectacular Lou Gehrig. A League of Their Own is fantastic. 61* is too young to be considered a classic, but it will be, as it ranks among the greatest sports movies ever made. Bad News Bears is excellent. The Natural is just amazing (greatest home-run ever). Major League is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen (juuust a bit outside). The Sandlot epitomizes the magic of baseball in America's children. But despite all of these outstanding films, none of them top Field of Dreams. I grew up on this movie, and if I tried, could probably quote the entire thing as I watched it. Not only is it the best baseball movie ever made, but one of the best movies ever made, period.

"Don't we need a catcher?"
"Not if you get it near the plate we don't."


Damn, now I have to go watch it again.
