SCD 8-14 Top Baseball Movies and Moonlight Graham

Any list that doesn't include Field of Dreams in the top 3 is automatically red flagged for me. Heck of a podium omission.

Trouble With the Curve is also a phenomenal baseball movie with a great cast.

Good call on introducing Sandlot at an early age. My girlfriend's daughter is 12 months old, and I've introduced singing Take Me Out to the Ballgame (while inserting "Indians" for "Home Team") to the nightly bedtime routine. Gotta start them young.

Everybody Wants Some is at the very top of my baseball list. It is actually one of my top five movies of all time.

It is a story about a college team in TX and the competition on and off the field. I played in college and it hits the nail on the head in so many different ways.

Field of Dreams has always been a huge huge movie for me, but as the years have passed the parts of the movie that I could really do without grow longer. The whole free speech school part? Like nails on a chalk board. Any scene with the brother whining. Nails on a chalk board. Even some of the James Earl Jones scenes are kind of ridiculous. But there is some true magic in the movie. Burt Lancaster alone is worth the price of admission.

Yes, great movie. Obscure, and in the Dazed and Confused style.

On my Top Ten List because, and only because, it was the first baseball movie I saw in a theater.
And because who wouldn't want to see Billy Loes acting.
