In honor of opening day being just around the corner, I give to you a list of the top 5 baseball movies of all time!
5. Major League (1989)
Charlie Sheen in his prime, helping a team thats made to lose march their way to a pennant! how can you not love it.
4. *61 (2001)
A true story that follows Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle in the 1961 season as they both chase Babe Ruth’s record. Spoiler alert Roger breaks the Babe’s record…. without steroids.
3. Bull Durham (1988)
Tells the story of a journeyman minor leaguer who’s job it is to bring up a young pitcher and help him become a pro talent.
2. The Sandlot (1993)
All around great movie. It’s just the fact that it revolves around kids and their passion for baseball that makes it as good as it is! If you haven’t seen this, you should be deported.
1. For The Love Of The Game (1999)
Easily the greatest baseball movie of all time. It captures the pure romanticism of the game.
Honorable Mentions: 8 Men Out, Little Big League, The Natural, Rookie of the Year, and Hardball.
PS: Hardball is only in there because I still havnt recouped from seein g-baby die on screen. Possibly one of the saddest movie watching experiences of my childhood.
