Rotten tomatoes has a few listed I've never heard of in their top 25... top 5

1 bull durham

2 moneyball

3 life/times hank Greenberg 

4 bad news bears

5 pride of yankees

ones I've never heard of- sugar, fear strikes out, off the black, game 6

Been meaning to watch Sugar, about a Minor Leaguer IIRC. 

FSO is about Jimmy Piersall, i believe. 

The others I’ve not heard about. 

Good call on Everybody Wants Some, watched it earlier this year for the first time.

bad news bears 2 was pretty solid as well.

“ Let them play!” 

And then there was this...

The actual baseball ability by the actors is legit. Really good movie that pulls off a ludicrous premise with some good storylines and acting. 

Yep.  Cameos by Griffey and Randy Johnson.  Didn't like how they made Griffey act like an asshole, but I guess he was technically the "villain".

Oh, and the scene in Little Big League where Bowers figures out the math question about painting the house?  I actually used that formula on a math test because of that movie.  Yeah, I'm not good at math.

Only baseball flick in my top 200 is probably Eight Men Out.

It's almost like the baseball love that people have makes their movies too precious and treacle-y.

Enjoyed parts of League of Their Own and the Natural with the family, but other than that.

Moneyball was really good, because money ball made baseball a science and business and didn't preach about how fucking beautiful it is.

(I've got no stereo-vision and thus little depth perception -- so I was terrible at baseball as a kid.  So there is some bias there.)

 

Other than a few funny scenes ("That's not a gun, that's your finger in your jacket"), Field of Dreams is the worst example of this.  Horrific stuff.

All we got on this team are a buncha Jews, spics, niggers, pansies, and a booger-eatin' moron

and now a girl.

For the Love of the Game is a solid baseball movie. 

Trouble with the Curve is absolute dogshit and anyone who knows anything about baseball can point out it's actual baseball issues. Like how they're scouting a fat kid as a "5 tool player"

Really liked the book, have only watch bits and pieces of the movie.  Does KP drop a “don’t ever stop fucking me!” In it?

That's Jerry McGuire.

For The Love Of The Game is one of those movies that is honestly cheesy as shit, but for some reason I fell for it.

Was that because The Natural and Field of Dreams go without saying?

 

 

61* is underrated af.

 

 

 

61* is awesome and I hadn’t seen it until this year. I guess it flew under the radar being an HBO original movie?
