Baseball Movies: Let's Discuss

Play Ball!!!

 Jenn McKinlay: Arizona, my home state, is the land of Spring Training. From the middle of February when pitchers and catchers report until Opening Day, it is baseball, baseball, baseball. I am not a super fan like the Hub, but I do enjoy an afternoon or evening spent at the ballpark enjoying hotdogs, peanuts, beer, popcorn, ice cream, you know the essentials to get through nine innings. I also appreciate that its slower pace gives you a chance to chat with your companions.

Diamondbacks Opening Day!

Recently, while enjoying a game, we got into a discussion of the best baseball movies. Now on this I do have an opinion. My fave baseball movie of all time is: FIELD OF DREAMS: 

Because it's the BEST! James Earl Jones will always be one of my favorite actors of all time and his portrayal of author Terrence Mann in this movie was FANTASTIC!

Hub's favorite is BULL DURHAM:

And Mom's favorite in LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN:

Of course, there are many honorable mentions, BAD NEWS BEARS, DAMN YANKEES, SAND LOT,  and MAJOR LEAGUE, to name just a few.

What about you, Reds and Readers, are you a baseball fan? Who's your team? And which movie is your fave (if you have one)?
