Which should immediately start a debate, Best baseball movie of all time?

I know I can't bet against Bull Durham, The Natural, Major League, Field of Dreams, hell I'd even respect a vote for the Bad New Bears

Major League is one of my all-time favorite movies. It's a shame the sequels couldn't live up to anywhere near the greatness of it.

Money Ball and Fear Strikes Out (the Jimmy Piersall story) make my list.

Mike Bacsik was all over our pathetic D today, and rated Odor by far the worst 2nd baseman in baseball.

Weren't we just talking about that? ha ha

Not sure how many know J Piersall (lol)

True......Karl Malden as Jimmy's dad was terrific, and Anthony Perkins did a very nice job as Jimmy too.

But Anthony doesn't have an athletic bone in his body, unfortunately.

We were a lot last season. We even gave thought to a possible trade and moving Profar to second as I recall.

Actually, I think the move was Odor to LF and Profar at 2nd.

That too but wasn't that mostly in the off season. Oh well it was a discussion.

I think you are correct. A trade was discussed by some of us at some point and a move to LF was mentioned later on.

Well this game is already less likely to be a win with Cole being scratched...
