Major league is tops. "What are you still doing here?" "Couldn't cut it in the Mexican league" Quotes galore in there.

Bang the Drum Slowly (1973), with Michael Moriarty and Robert De Niro.
The original live TV version, which aired on U.S. Steel Hour in 1956, is terrific too. It stars Paul Newman and Albert Salmi.

Moneyball for me.

I know I'm in the minority, but I thought Field of Dreams was terrible.

I was also shot at Milwaukee County Stadium. I almost went to be an extra during the shooting. I should have done it. But I was only 17 at the time.

Hi Ted--

I've seen The Stratton Story several times. The actor who played the scout who found Stratton was also the Wizard of Oz.

Default Barnstorming

Always wished I coulda barnstormed, guess that's why Bingo Long is my favorite picture.
James Earl Jones was quite a hitter in this flick, but what other movie(s) will you find him slugging the ball?

'The Great White Hope' - though he played the boxer Jack Johnson, he suited up as a hopefully anonymous Negro League player to evade police. He wasn't actually shown hitting a baseball in that roll, but if memory serves, he swung a bat in response to questions of how he would defend himself.

Default James Earl Jones

In the Sayle's movie Matewan I believe Jones plays baseball while waiting out the coal strike.
