Top Ten Baseball Movies

Edit: I did not mean to include the remake of Bad News Bears. It was supposed to link to the original. The problem has been fixed, and those responsible have been sacked.

Baseball has been very, very good to movies. And vice versa. Even if you aren’t a huge fan of the game, you probably love at least a couple of movies about it. There are a few good flicks about football, basketball, hockey, etc. — and one mindbogglingy fantastic film about arm wrestling — but there are tons of great baseball movies.

Since the MLB season is in full swing (wordplay!) and the NCAA tournament is just getting started, I thought I’d share my top ten baseball movies:

1) The Natural
2) Field of Dreams
3) Bull Durham
4) Bang the Drum Slowly
5) The Pride of the Yankees
6) Eight Men Out
7) A League of Their Own
8) The Sandlot
9) The Bad News Bears
10) Major League
