Triumph The Insult C's Journal: greatest baseball movies?

lemme hear 'em

My favorites

[bethanie]

Bull Durham
Field of Dreams
Big League (hey -- it's FUN)
A League of Their Own
The Natural

And that's all I can think of. There are a BUNCH of sucky baseball movies out there, though.

Why do you ask, anyway?

Yes, Major League. And the thing about that movie is that we never actually *call* it by its real title.

My mom, who is known for being just a *wee* bit ditsy, made the mistake of calling it "Grand Slam" one time -- so that's what it's known as in my family, to the extent that we've forgotten its real title. :-)

And it turns out, I'm carrying on my mother's tradition proudly!

FoD was on HBO last night. it's a weird movie in my book ... it's a movie a *tim allen grunt* man *grunt* should like, but it *always* makes me tear up (specifically, at the end. when john and ray play catch)

plus, i love baseball =)
