mlb.com is doing a bracket of best baseball movies - my daughter told me about it today. I just did my bracket and I think I want to go back and check out some of the movies I've never seen.

No Field of Dreams, or did I miss it?
EDIT: Never mind...I just found the brackets. I'm an idiot.

Long Gone is an old HBO movie about a minor league player and stars William Peterson ( Manhunter, To live and die in L.A. , CSI ). An excellent little movie. I don't know if it is out on dvd. I own an old VHS.
If anyone hasn't see 'For Love of the Game' immediately do so.
Stars Kevin Costner as a pitcher nearing the end of his career.
Directed by Sam Raimi.

Kind of neat, actually. There are a few I am not totally familiar with, and others I have heard about, but have never seen (the movie with Maris and Mantle is mentioned in the Baseball Hall Of Shame).
There were quite a few no brainers in the end for me, though.
I chose Field of Dreams over The Natural in the Championship.
Fields of Dreams is my favorite movie of all-time. As a tradition every year I watch Field of Dreams on the Saturday night before Opening Day.
I picked A League of Their Own over Field of Dreams, but it was really tough to do that. The one movie I wish they'd remake is Bang The Drum Slowly. It's not a bad flick, but since they made it contemporary (for then), it looks really dated and I think the story works much better as a period piece (in the 50's - fabulous book!).

Not Freddy Prinze though! Sorry, thought it was a good movie for the obsessed baseball fan/guru. And to mix it into the whole girlfriend thing just seemed a lot like my life. My gf is with me every step of the way when it comes to my love for baseball. When he goes on one knee and proposes to her...to go to opening day with him, touched home a bit. Also, that movie was originally written that the die hard sox fan would be dissapointed again after the sox lose. Of course they won though and had to change the story on the fly. I thought it was pretty good. Many scenes stick out to being like me!
