Field of Dreams is considered one of the greatest baseball movies of all-time. Now I whole heartily don’t agree with that, since this is a movie about personal drama than the game of baseball. Some may consider Kevin Costner’s character to be crazy and I probably would have never believed him either. Thankfully he has … More Field of Dreams (1989)
The 1919 World Series will always be a black mark on the history of Major League Baseball. If you didn’t know, the Chicago White Sox agreed to throw the World Series to Cincinnati in favour of big pay cheques from shady bookers instead of their owner. The details of these events can be argued for days, … More Eight Men Out (1988)
I’ve seen Bull Durham once in my life. I hated it. I forced myself to sit through it again so I could write this review, and I hated it all over again. Kevin Costner is seriously the only enjoyable part of this comedy? romance movie? or baseball movie about the relationship or a crazy pitcher … More Bull Durham (1988)
The Rookie may be a Disney movie, but really any movie studio could have picked up the rights and given us this special inspirational story. What makes the story of Jim Morrison so amazing is the amount of passion he has for the game of baseball and the desire to follow his dreams. Even though … More The Rookie (2002)
The Perfect Game was a baseball movie I never heard about until I started this project. I vaguely knew about the event the movie is based upon and was completely blown away by the story. This captivating and inspiring story has to be one of the best baseball movies no one ever talks about. The … More The Perfect Game (2009)
Babe Ruth is a legend on and off the field. For those of you who just know him as a baseball player would be shock to know how heartless he really was outside of the uniform. He is hailed as the greatest player to ever play the game of baseball, but no where in his … More The Babe (1992)
The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg was a baseball movie I had on my watch list for many years, and what a disappointed this movie turned out to be. This isn’t actually a movie, it is a documentary. The format at which this was shot ruined the whole experience, or at least the one … More The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg (1988)
Sugar is a baseball movie, but Sugar is also not a baseball movie. It’s no secret across the globe that players often “defect” from their home countries for a shot to be a professional anywhere in the United States. Miguel Santos ended up just like everyone else, except for one thing…he gave up baseball to … More Sugar (2008)
The Final Season follows the typical script you have come to know over the years when it comes to successful sports movies. A team faces a problem, they vow to overcome, do great out of the gate, stumble down the stretch, and recover in time to win it all. Based on the true story of … More The Final Season (2007)
Bang the drum slowly is what sports movies in the 1970’s were really about, heart and soul stories about real people who face real adversity. When I think of this rather unknown baseball movie starring Robert DeNiro, I think of Brain’s Song. Both stories feature a professional athlete who just happens to find themselves catching … More Bang the Drum Slowly (1973)
