Best Baseball Movies Ever

This week's USA Weekend Magazine featured an article on the best baseball movies ever as a precursor to Opening Day. Three of the four panelists featured picked "Bull Durham" as the top film, with the other vote going to "Major League." As we all know, Bob Uecker was the best part of "Major League," but I have to go with "Bull Durham" as the best.

Robert Redford and Keving Costner split the vote for best leading man, two votes for Redford in "The Natural," one vote for Costner in "Bull Durham," and one for "Field of Dreams."

Here's the link to the article if you'd like to read it yourself. http://www.usaweekend.com/07_issues/070325/070325baseball_movies.html Send me an email and tell me what your favorite baseball movie is. One week till Opening Day! Go Brewers!

I loved 'Bull Durham' and 'Field Of Dreams', but I always seem to go back to 'A League Of Their Own'. Not sure why no one mentioned that one. ("No crying in baseball" has become a more used catch phrase than Uke's "Jusssst a bit outside".)
