I vote for The Natural.

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

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

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.

The Natural is a perfect Arthurian allegory, for those in the know who can spot the references.

We like to watch it on July 4, too. Altho' lately we don't find much to celebrate about July 4. I'm becoming a Tory.

Personal logo John the OFM Supporting Member of TMP04 Jul 2025 7:34 p.m. PST

Yeah, it's all there.
The Fisher King.
A magic bat, carved from an oak that was struck by lightning the night his father died.
Evil Woman, trying to deter our Hero from his destiny.
Is there a musical version?

Pop's is the Best Coach too !
