I was trying to think of the name of this. Kept thinking i know its effectively an adaptation of the Nick Hornby novel and British movie that was about football (that's the actual game where players, you know, actually use their feet :P ), and remembered it had Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon in it, but couldn't think of the name, lol |

Re: Baseball Movies
My favorite baseball movie by far was Pride of the Yankees starring Gary Cooper.
When I was a kid, I watched the movie at least twenty times. I remember crying near the end of the movie every time I saw Lou Gehrig fall off that stool in the clubhouse because of his illness and his teammates, out of respect for their captain, pretended they did not see him fall. I also vividly remember that final scene when Lou slowly walked past his teammates after delivering his famous speech about being the luckiest man on the face of the earth and then just before disappearing into the darkness of the clubhouse, a shout of “Play ball” could be heard from the field he had left behind. The movie was a tear jerker for me and I assume anyone else who loves baseball. |
In random order:

I found these today. Did you know Babe Ruth has 10 film acting credits? Mickey Mantle has 6.

Re: Baseball Movies
Little Big League is not the best baseball movie, probably not by a long shot, but it might be the most frequently forgotten/underrated one when the topic comes up.

When we do a sports movie countdown, Rocky will have to have to make room for Billy Heywood and friends at the top of my ballot. |
