Never seen any of them, baseball movies in general suck
I dont know what baseball movies you are watching but I've never heard anyone else say such a thing. What baseball movies would you say suck and which ones would you say are good?
I loved Major League 2 just as much as the original. I hated the third one, though.
"No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference." ~Tommy Lasorda
they all suck except 8 men out and Bull Durham.
the rest are chaft
61?
Bad News Bears
Cobb
Major League
A League of Their Own
Little Big League
Sandlot
Mr. Destiny
None of these?

Cobb meh, I don't like the structure as much as I liked the book, A league of their own is good, but I see that as much a period piece as baseball movie, the original BNB is good, but not a "baseball movie" by my definition as for the rest you can have em, especially the last 3.
Loved the Cobb biography. Hated that Tommy Lee Jones played Cobb. Really poor casting.
The Sandlot isn't a baseball movie as much as it has baseball in it. But it is a great movie.
I do have 61. The Rookie is a nice family film. Bull Durham is great. I own but hate For Love of the Game.
Dubito Ergo Cogito Ergo Sum.
For love of the game is a good movie that figured out date movies probably make more money.
You should check out Sugar. It is very good. Make sure you watch the BluRay edition instead of the DVD, though; the DVD was edited to be more "family friendly" and is missing some key scenes as a result!
Th baseball part of "For Love of the Game" is fantastic. The rest...meh.
My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!
I think Scott Rolen at the plate looks like the bad guy in those movies. The big mean bearded slugger for the other team.
For Love Of The Game is great. I love it because Chapel pitches a perfecto against the Yankees as much as anything else.
I hate the Cardinals. I hate the Cubs.
Let's. Go. Reds.
"Per Aspera Ad Astra"
If you haven't read the novel by Michael Shaara you should. I don't care for the movie version but the book is beautiful.
