I guess Field of Dreams was inevitable with the Yankees/Sox game this past summer and then announcing it will be a yearly addition to the MLB schedule. Off the top of my head, you have The Sandlot, Little Big League, The Bad News Bears, Major League (especially the first one with the suicide squeeze down the 3B line and Berenger's character collapsing after lunging for the 1B bag), Bang the Drum Slowly, Eight Men Out, Bull Durham, The Pride of the Yankees, Moneyball, 42, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Battered_Bastards_of_Baseball I found this one searching online, has really positive reviews and had never even heard of it....

January 20, 20224 yr The Natural. Pride of the Yankees was a great baseball movie but as all of us know, the ending wasn't good. Edited January 25, 20224 yr by The Mighty Mite
January 20, 20224 yr Definitely The Natural. They changed the ending from the book to make it Hollywood. Exploding lights, magical music, the love of family and having a catch.
January 21, 20224 yr The Natural if only for Randy Newmans' score. Imagine what a downer that film would be with the novel's ending.

Probably some profanity but don't recall anything. Think as a documentary it is probably fine. Think there is some alcohol. Now you got me wanting to rewatch. My wife liked a lot.
