I was disappointed to have to choose between Bull Durham and Major League so early.
Bull Durham wins in a better movie contest, but Major League just feels so, I don't know, classic.

4 words: "Tom Selleck - Mr. Baseball"
Hard to believe no one has mentioned this film-making masterpiece yet...
Monkeys and baseball: It doesn't get any better than that!
My Avatar probably gives me away, but I chose Pride of the Yankees over Major League. Field of Dreams and The Natural complete my Final Four.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
I had a copy of an old Joe E Brown baseball comedy, made in 1935 and even had Olivia de Havilland (in her first appearance) in it, called Alibi Ike.
On the drama side.....
Pride Of the Yankees and 61 (fantastic movie).
"In my day you had musicians who experimented with drugs. Now it's druggies experimenting with music" - Alfred G Clark (circa 1972)
"My mission is to be the ray of hope, the guy who stands out there on that beautiful field and owns up to his mistakes and lets people know it's never completely hopeless, no matter how bad it seems at the time. I have a platform and a message, and now I go to bed at night, sober and happy, praying I can be a good messenger." -Josh Hamilton
“In the same way that a baseball season never really begins, it never really ends either.” - Lonnie Wheeler, "Bleachers, A Summer in Wrigley Field"

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!
