Kentucky Windage Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Aside from maybe "The Sandlot" I say that this is one of the best baseball movies ever. I can't turn the channel when this one is on. It makes me fall in love with the game without playing it. "The smell when you put the glove up to your face"; "the cool of the grass below your feet". I love this movie.

AverageJoesGym Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I don't hate it but it isn't a real baseball movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Professor Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 My top baseball movies are “The Natural” “Bull Durham” and “Major League”. Field of Dreams is good too, would be in my top 5 for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kentucky Windage Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 I've yet to see "For The Love of The Game". I've heard it's fantastic. But James Earl Jones in Field of Dreams is really hard to beat for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Costner just doesn’t look like a MLB pitcher, which drags the movie down a notch or two for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks a whole lot more like a pitcher than the guy who played Harris in Major League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things that drives me crazy in sports movies, is that so many of the guys that play sports roles, simply look terrible throwing a ball or doing anything athletic.

Hellcats Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Hollywood like Costner as a baseball player. He has played one 4 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither did Greg Maddux. That's who Costner reminded me of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjs4470 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Neither did Greg Maddux. That's who Costner reminded me of. Even Maddux weighed close to 200 lbs, about 20lbs more than Costner. At least Costner was athletic enough to pull off pitching, even though they still used a double for the long shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
