Anyone who left Field of Dreams early missed the whole point of the movie. It’s all about lasting values and reconciliation.

In
Roogie's Bump (1954) a boy of grade-school age develops a strange bump on his arm after an encounter with a ghost of a professional baseball player and discovers that he can throw a baseball as fast as a bullet. He quickly becomes a star pitcher in the major leagues.
I saw this film in the theater when I was young.

Bull Durham was a good portrayal pot life in the minors. The various incidents are taken from stories around the country, like fooding the field to get a rainout. I umpired in the minors and enjoyed it very much. The romance take it or leave it. The baseball good stuff.

I loved the stage version of Damn Yankee, but was always disappointed they dropped my favorite song, The Game, from the film. But, I am gratefol they kept Gwen Verdon, Ray Walston and Jean Stapleton from the original cast.

Field of Dreams used baseball as a prop to promote new-age peace-love-dope-Hare-Krishna claptrap.

How about the original “Angels in the Outfield” with Paul Douglas and the drop dead gorgeous Janet Leigh, about 1950?
That was a really good picture.
To: dfwgator
LOL. I liked the queen doing the wave.
To: fatnotlazy
The only thing I couldn’t get over was why the Angles were playing in Dodger Stadium.

Money ball is about not having the money to buy players that anyone can win with so learning how to win with the right combination of players that everyone else passes up.

PRIDE OF THE YANKEES is the most over-rated movie of all time and a tragedy!
Gary Cooper was born for this role. The story is compelling. They had Babe Ruth as HIMSELF!
And half the damn movie was about Lou’s wife. UGH!
It should’ve been one of the greatest flicks ever.

To this day, my favorite baseball movie is PRIDE OF ST. LOUIS. Dan Daily stars as Dizzy Dean.
All these years later, I saw it again. And just like when I was 10 years old, the end just choked me up.

All of the movies referenced are actually good, not terrible at all.
The others he mentioned were great as well.
Kid from Left Field is awesome.
