Default Sports movie memorabilia

Let's see all your sports movie related stuff.


As an aside.. What is your favorite sports movie? Any sport.

I have 2 faves.
One is Pride of The Yankees. It's kind of an obvious choice for some one who collects Lou Gehrig.
Next favorite is kind of oddball. I love "Let it Ride". It's a horse racing movie from 1989. Richard Dreyfuss plays a chronic horse racing bettor who has the day of his life. It is very funny to those causal watchers, but hysterical to those in the know. If you are or know a hard core horse fan, you recognize every single character, their superstitions, and how they interrelate with friends and family. My dad was big into the horses and it really brings me back to some memorable days I spent as a kid at the Meadowlands, Yonkers Raceway, and Belmont Park.

Anyhow, here is some Pride of the Yanks stuff.
First is sheet music from the theme song.


Next are front and back scans from Japanese program dated 1949 when movie was released there. Entire book is in Japanese.



Newspaper supplement from Great Britain Nov 1942.
