I'd have to go with "For the Love of the Game", with "Major League" and "The Natural" a very close 2nd and 3rd. Followed by "Sandlot". Hell, I might even throw a vote towards "Mr. Baseball" making my top 5, although it would probably fall short. Now if we were to include movies only loosely related to baseball, "Baseketball" might be tops... Because, although satirical, it paints a pretty accurate picture of everything that is wrong with sports and/or athletes today. While also noting that our society is at a point, where no matter how innocent something can be, exploitation is inevitable and unavoidable. The good ol' days are gone.
