I vote for The Natural.

But I won't have a fit over Field of Dreams.

BW195930 Jun 2025 7:20 p.m. PST

I also liked For love of the Game and Eight men out

Damn Yankees was a good oldie

The Natural, by all measures!

I'd include The Bad News Bears for nostalgia value, too. I haven't seen too many others, none that were memorable.

Pride of the Yankees.
The Trouble with the Curve.

The Natural. Still get goose bumps at the end every time I watch the movie.

Some good ones, but I'll go with "Major League", other than the Berenger unnecessary love affair, which added nothing to the movie. Great cast

The late Bob Uecker Is great.

Besides! Jobu says: "Is very bad not voting for Major League as best. Is very bad." 😉

My two favorites, The Natural and Field of Dreams are just dripping with mythic themes.

Choctaw01 Jul 2025 7:14 a.m. PST

Field of Dreams and The Natural.

Bull Durham, hands down. For lighter fare, Major League.

Shagnasty Supporting Member of TMP01 Jul 2025 4:15 p.m. PST

Major League, Bull Durham and the Natural in that order.
