I’ve been thinking about this for about a week. I love sports movies, but my favorites are the baseball movies. Mostly because I think baseball is my favorite sport and also because the speed of the game lends itself to the movie format well. So here’s the list of my top ten favorite baseball movies (in no particular order):

1.  Bad News Bears
2.  The Sandlot
3.  The Natural
4.  Field of Dreams
5.  A League of Their Own
6.  Eight Men Out
7.  Angels in the Outfield
8.  Major League
9.  *61
10.  For Love of the Game

Let me remind you, these are my favorites - they’re not necessarily what everyone considers the best. For instance, you’ll have noticed that Bull Durham isn’t on the list. That’s because it doesn’t rank up there for me. Sue me…
