Bull Durham
The Sandlot
61*
Eight Men Out
Field of Dreams
A League of Their Own (Would be higher except for the sappy bookends)
The Bad News Bears (1976)
Moneyball
The Natural
Bang the Drum Slowly

Pondered for awhile but did not make the cut: Major League, The Rookie, 42, Angels in the Outfield (1951 - Janet Leigh)

Moneyball

any list that doesn't start with the natural is suspicious at best.

the natural is the best
close second field of dreams
bull durham
sandlot is also fantastic even if told through the lense of children.

Thank you. Field of dreams is not only the most overrated baseball movie but it may be the most overrated movie ever.

any of y'all remember Long Gone? Was made by and released on HBO in the late 80s. I haven't seen it since then and apparently you can't find it on digital. But with the disclaimer that I was 12-14 when I watched it, I think I'd take it over a good number of the movies listed above. I watched it a lot at the time because I think Virginia Madsen gets a little nekkid or maybe just gets close, but I always watched the rest as well.

The Natural
Field of Dreams
Long Gone
Bull Durham
Major League
For Love of the Game
The Sandlot
Bad News Bears (og)
A League of Their Own
Stealing Home

Thank you. Field of dreams is not only the most overrated baseball movie but it may be the most overrated movie ever.

When I was in 9th grade, my parents drug me to this movie. I was at that age where my parents were embarrassing to me just because they existed. As the movie closes, my dad is sobbing - loudly. I wanted to disappear.

Months later, we got the movie on VHS and I've watched it 20 times. It has flaws, but it is still great. One of my top 200 all-time films. And when you think about how many movies the average American is familiar with, top 200 is a pretty exclusive list.

Bull Durham

I agree. The big moments in the movie are so big. That catch line is great. I think about it every time I play catch with my son and he's in college now.

And I'm not a Costner fan. But like this one. No doubt it meant a lot more to me after playing catch with my son the past 16 years.

Didn't notice anyone mention my fave: "The Year the Yankees Lost the Pennant". The novel was also adapted to make "Damn Yankees". Don't like musicals much so I don't care much for that version. It's been many moons since I've seen the original. Gonna have to hunt it down and see how well it's held up.

This! If you disagree, just try to sit through that garbage again and convince me otherwise. I don't necessarily agree with the rest of the list, but we can agree on FoD.
