July 25, 20241 yr There was a pic posted of the fat kid from The Sandlot in the game thread tonight. And I was thinking, maybe instead of being depressed all day about how s%*# the Sox are and who's being traded we could share some of our favorite baseball movie clips. I'm not normally a big movie guy, but would love to watch new stuff in lieu of the 2024 Sox. These were the first few i thought of and I got some more but I would love to see more, hopefully new stuff!
July 25, 20241 yr Don’t feel like figuring out how to embed a video, but the Fourth of July scene in The Sandlot.

July 25, 20241 yr Ken Griffey Jr robbing Lou to end Little Big League…they found a way to make the coolest player ever to be the heel.
July 25, 20241 yr The Sandlot 4th of July scene is one of the best scenes in movie history Edit: see I've been beaten to that Edited July 25, 20241 yr by Buehrle>Wood
July 25, 20241 yr Also the scene from A League of Their Own that always makes me laugh. "AND HOW ABOUT MARLA HOOCH. WHAT A HITTER."
July 25, 20241 yr When Roy Hobbs literally tore the cover off the ball and everyone came out to argue about it in the rain. Or when Michael Madsen as Bump Bailey crashed through the outfield wall and died while playing for the New York Knights. The Knights ownership/front office has such a White Sox vibe to it.

July 25, 20241 yr 10 hours ago, JTB said: Fun fact: the studio wanted to cut that scene from the movie. It's all in Ron Shelton's book The Church of Baseball: the Making of Bull Durham: Home Runs, Bad Calls, Crazy Fights, Big Swings, and a Hit. Would highly recommend.
July 25, 20241 yr I think the Jake Taylor “call his shot drop a bunt” scene in Major League is especially good because of how quiet and dramatic it is, crowd and music muted and just him trying to beat out the play, with Uecker calling it softly. It’s a scene unlike anything in the rest of the movie really

July 26, 20241 yr I can't find a clip of it but there is one point in Major League 2 where Harry Doyle mentions that the White Sox actually won the World Series in the first movie.
July 26, 20241 yr 3 scenes, the first is from The Natural when Roy Hobbs is bleeding from his mid-section while at bat and hits the game winning walk off homer and the Knights win the pennant. The second is manager Dutch Schnell’s clubhouse speech to his NY Mammoths played by the great character actor Vincent Gardenia in Bang The Drum Slowly. Also from that movie is when Piney Woods sings the title song in the clubhouse during a rain delay, every time I watch that scene, tears come to my eyes. Edited July 26, 20241 yr by The Mighty Mite
