Favorite Baseball Movie

It's not my favourite, but I want to bring it to peoples attention. It's a documentary from 2016 called Fastball. I noticed it on Amazon Prime (at least the Aussie version) a while ago but assumed it was one of those cheapo lame documentaries that Amazon is full of so didn't plan on watching it.
But I finally watched it recently and was surprised how much I liked it.
It's not great, but is worth a watch in my opinion. -
Screwball was really good. It's all about the Bosch and A-Rod scandal.
-
for me its angels in the outfield with the natural being a close 2nd also liked 61

The Natural, or Field of Dreams.
The Natural first and a tie between FOD and Major League for me.

If you have never seen it, Fastball is a good documentary type movie. Talks about Ryan, Feller and how they measure a fastball now.
It's very good. As is Knuckleball.

The rookie. I cant imagine the feeling getting that first call to run out that bullpen
Great movie as well. The part in the movie where he tells his son he's going to the show was tear inducing!

Little big league (best baseball action as they use real players on opposing teams and former players as some of the twins)
Mr. Baseball (Tom Selleck pulls off being a ballplayer in this movie)
Moneyball (when it was in Starz I would legit watch it every day)
-
For me it's a tossup between Major League and Field of Dreams.
Unpopular opinion: Bull Durham is one of the worst movies I've ever seen., and I don't get what people enjoy about it.
-
Little Big League was/is my favorite. I don’t think it would have been what it was without the 94 strike.
We really haven’t had a good baseball movie released in a long time.
-
Major League 2!!
-
Field of Dreams, Moneyball, A League of Their Own, Benchwarmers. And lastly, Bull Durham.
Oh, and Major League.
And I forgot, even though it's not a movie, Eastbound and down.

I was an extra in that film. Just a face in the crowd.
Interesting note: The scenes that I was an extra for were filmed, If my memory serves, in early November in New Comiskey (the game was supposed to be in NY). There were actually snow flurries on the day. We were supposed to dress like it was summer. But if watch the scene when Cain makes a great catch against the wall you can see the crowd behind the dugout is all in long sleeves and dark colors. I was one of the few with actual short sleeves wearing a white t-shirt. I had layers on though and my jacket on my lap for between takes.

For me, it’s For Love of the Game! Forget the love story. There’s so much stuff in that movie that gave me chills. From the way nobody sat next to him while he had the perfect game going. The way he would see his parents in the stands as he walked off the field. The movie made me cry and it had nothing to do with the love story lol!

That's an awesome story! Thanks for sharing! People should check that movie out since most don't remember it or haven't heard of it.

How’s the new movie on Netflix or amazon prime? Looks like some honkey in college or in the minors or something.
Full Count is what it’s called, I believe.
