All good choices.  I watched Hardball for the first time last night which is what got me thinking and lead to this thread.  By the way, I really liked that movie.  Never been a big Keanu Reeves fan but between this movie, the Matrix (first one only) and The Replacements I can watch a movie of his from time to time.

I thought "The Babe" w/John Goodman was very good, but "The Natural" is nearly impossible to beat.

Bull Durham is without question my favorite. Then The Natural. After that it's a crapshoot. Fact is, there are not a lot of great baseball movies.

Major League is my favorite, still makes me laugh today.  The Natural is also great.  Gotta love The Sandlot, "how can I have smore if I havent had any yet".

Field of Dreams is like the Beatles, Metallica, Megan Fox and Anal Sex...while it might be good its waaaaaaaaay overrated.

Brewster's Millions

This movie beautifully chronicles the ascension of a minor leaguer to the big leagues.  One of the most sobering baseball movies ever made.

Yeah forgot about that one.  Nice choice indeed.  Loved that movie except for that weasel Stephen Collins, you know the father from 7th Heaven.  LOL!

 I was actually being sarcastic about the plot, but I did enjoy the comedic chemistry between Pryor and Candy.  And the theme of Pryor's character trying to spend his money as quickly as possible was pretty original.
