I enjoy all baseball films. Let me add THE FIRST BOYS OF SPRING about the birth of spring training narrated by Billy Bob Thornton and Peter Coyote. It airs frequently on Fox regionals.

Not a documentary but "Eight Men Out" directed by John Sayles is a must see.

If you are going that route, my vote is for 61*. Possibly the best casting I have ever seen. I really thought I was watching Mantle and Maris.

When it was a Game. It color film of Chuck Connors with the Montreal Royals.

Maybe it's just the minimalist in me, but I really enjoyed watching Reggie Jackson and Bob Gibson just sitting and talking baseball from the pitcher's and hitter's perspective. The publisher recorded some interviews to promote the outstanding book "Sixty Feet, Six Inches".

Here's a sample where they discuss "Who Owns the Plate?"

I believe that I used to have a VHS tape of "The Boys of Summer", but alas, no tape and no VCR anymore. I did see a copy of it on Laser Disc on Ebay, if anyone can go that route.

I know the book has some detractors, but as a college student in the 1980's, it was a great introduction to the Dodgers of the 1950's and their relationship with the residents of Brooklyn.

Very cool... sorry that I just watching Gibson pitch. He was such a boss

Just watched on Netflix. That was fun. Been meaning to watch it for years. Great story and well done.
