    Moneyball
    I could've picked any of 2-3. I saw Moneyball most recently and liked it.

    This is "Which one is your favorite child?" territory...
    Have seen them all, some dozens of times, love them all for different reasons. If I find one on TV, I will stop to watch a little, then move on.
    There are three films that, no matter how many times I have seen them, I watch beginning to end, and every time it brings me to tears:
    Brian's Song
    Field of Dreams
    Bang the Drum Slowly (early DeNiro)

    I guess that makes me a sentimental old fool...

    Also, a shout out to Fear Strikes Out, which was made before I was born, but continues to resonate today, for me..

    EDIT: for lack of proper punctuation

    Could have picked any of them. Tom Hanks as Jimmy Dugan was incredible.

    Major League
    My friends and I quoted Major League every baseball season from when we were in little league in 1990 until we graduated in 1997. We weren't any good by the time we got to high school/American Legion ball but we liked to hit, talk shit, lose and drink beer. We identified with the fictional Cleveland Indians or whatever the fuck they're called now.

    Major League is the most watchable

    The Natural is the best though

    The Throbber cries like a little bitch during Brian's Song.

    People forget Joe Don Baker's greatest role was playing Babe Ruth (hi @RaceBannon ) in the Natural

    Major League

    A League of Their Own is very well made

    Natural gets the bronze

    MST did an episode on Mitchell. He was great in that movie, a real tough guy. @Crow_T_Robot swoons.

    Wasn’t he killed with a piano wire in Cape Fear? Not so tough in that one.

    Major League is campy humor. Entertaining and watchable I’ll admit, but I can’t choose it.

    For people in their 30’s, the popular choice would be Sandlot. “You’re killing me Smalls” gets a reaction every time. From a drug deal taking too long, to a spilled drink, or your buddy striking out with a girl at the bar, it’s known. Bystanders will react if you drop that line anywhere.

    It’s so big and played out that it’s lost some luster, but imo, it’s probably the most well known baseball movie for anyone under 40.

    Sandlot is number two for me.

    People forget that the Dodgers still had to win 3 more after that homer.

    Hard to not pick field of dreams but the natural evokes more of a feeling of baseball lore than the dreamstate of FOD.
