In tribute to the recently finished All Star game, we are giving you guys the top 10 Baseball movies of all time, as voted on by the movie geeks. We took our team and had to go back and count a couple of times to see how many movies that Kevin Costner starred in about baseball! Luckily only 2 made the list! If you want to see the list, click on the read more link… Enjoy:
10. Eight Men Out
Travis: ‘Eight Men Out’ serves as one of the most important baseball movies ever made, due to its subject matter. Considered to be one of, if not the worst scandal in all of professional sports (pre-‘roids), the film tells of the 1919 World Series when the Chicago Black Sox threw the series for a size-able payout. The movie first introduced me to one of my baseball heroes, Shoeless Joe Jackson.
09. Mr Baseball
Scott: What do you get when you mix Tom Selleck when he was still rocking the ‘stache, a washed up baseball player, and Japanese Baseball? One of the best Baseball comedies of all time! Tom Selleck plays Jack Elliot who gets traded from the Yankees to the Chunichi Dragons, even though he “led the team in 9th inning doubles in the month of August”! He moves to Japan and gets accustomed to baseball in a different form.
