PASJDAnyone seen "Pride of the Yankees" (Gary Cooper/Teresa Wright)or "Fear Strikes Out" (Anthony Perkins/Karl Malden)? They don't make em, even baseball movies, like they used to.
My opinions on more recent fare: The Natural was mediocre. Bull Durham was decent. While I usually despise Costner, I thought he was quite good in Field of Dreams which I loved because the whole concept was so original, and the book -- Shoeless Joe, by W.P. Kinsella for anyone here who actually reads -- is must reading for anyone who believes in the mythology and magic of baseball. Didn't see Eight Men Out. Major League was so bad that it was actually entertaining. Bang the Drum Slowly was excellent.
