I also like The Rookie, starring Dennis Quaid.

It's not necessarily my absolute favorite, but I think that "61" should be on the list too.

correction... the correct line in Field of Dreams said by James Earl Jones is "I'm going to beat you with this crow bar until you go away." you must replace the word "hit" with "beat."

i definately agree... 61 is a damn good film!!!! one of the greatest baseball movies ever! and can we also remember "For Love of the Game"

My favorite baseball movie would be "For Love of the Game" (1999)

"The Rookie" should be in this list along with "61". Movies based on actual true stories are always winners.

"Long Gone" on HBO in 1987 starring William Petersen (CSI), Virginia Madsen (Sideways) and Dermot Mulroney.

I thought the best baseball movie I ever saw was For the Love of the Game, starring Kevin Costner. There have been so few perfect games in baseball history. And the movie was very well balanced with the personal life of the star.

How could you leave that one out?

Bingo Long Traveling AllStars and Motor Kings not only has the longest title, but it's one of the top 10. The barnstorming story is quintessential baseball from a bygone era.

"Damn Yankees" is the only baseball movie that I can not find in either VHS or DVD format..Does anyone know where "Damn Yankees" can be purchased ??

My favorite baseball movie is "For Love of the Game" (1999)

There was a movie in the fifties, "It happens Every Spring" with ray Miland as a professor who invents a substance that repels wood. He rubs it on a ball and it can't be hit. I forget the rest. Someone help me on this one. Also, a baseball movie with William Bendix as an ump thet sees double. he is called Two Call Johnson, i think. Still love The Natural and League of Their Own. Bob esler

Add "61" and take off Cobb, which is scarcely about baseball.

one of my favorite baseball movies that is not on this list should be rookie of the year you guys should play that one on amc sometime one of the best baseball movies of the 90,s

Anyone who was a kid in the sixties has to love the Sandlot. No parents, no coaches, no uniforms, no refreshment stands. Just a bunch of kids who love playing ball and the Babe...

"It Happens Every Spring" with Ray Milland has a much more clever premise and is funnier than Bull Durham. The scenes of batters trying to hit the ball are pretty good for 50's special effects.

When Shoeless Joe Jackson said "I would have played for free" he pinpointed why so many things have disappeared. He had no agent..no audacious jewelry..no outrageous behavior..just his love for the game. It's sad that the game appears to be over.

I think that the Rookie needs to be included on the ballet.

Although a great drama with outstanding performances by Kevin Costner & James Earl Jones, and unlike "The Natural" and "The Pride of the Yankees", "Field of Dreams" is hardly what I would call a "baseball movie" in the classic sense.

A classic not on list......Fear Strikes Out...Jimmy Pierseal Story

not really a fair vote, since in today's me first world, most people dont even know Bang the Drum Slowly

Sorry, it's shouldn't even be open to discussion. The Natural was #1 and Field of Dreams #2. Bull Durham?

"61" should be on the list. And baseball fans , if you haven't seen 'LONG GONE' you've missed (in my opinion) the best!

lets not forget Bingo Long and his traveling all stars. The Sandlot is one of my faves. As well as the original Bad News Bears.

Field of Dreams is totally the answer

Rookie, 61*, and maybe even For Love of the Game should be on the list.

I also liked "Sandlot", it reminded me of my youth and playing ball with my friends.

Really a good movie for everyone.

Pride of the Yankees was a great film but dealt more as a biography of legandary player with baseball as a background.

Field of Dreams is still my favorite with The Rookie coming a close second.

Original of "The Babe Ruth Story" with William Bendix. That movie is so shmaltzy it's a thing of beauty. I mean, the crippled boy rising to his feet when the Babe says "Hi kid" as he walks by.

Can't beat it. "Turn the jeers to cheers? All you gotta do is deliver" and whack, another home run.

I also like "For Love of the Game" with Kevin Costner. To think that Kevin pitched with no stand-in is incredible. All of his baseball movies are great.

My favorite baseball movies are: Fever Pitch, For The Love Of the Game, Bull Durham and of course Field of Dreams

Fever Pitch and For the Love of the game are my favorites, I can watch all nite long. Also Field of Dreams whenever it on.

I'm a lil' biased ... I'm passionately in lust w/ Susan Sarandon ... so Bull Durham is my favorite. I remember the Babe Ruth movie in B/W. Wasn't it corny? Even as a kid I knew it wasn't 'real'. But somehow, I've managed to miss 'love of the Game', so I'll see if I can find it. Thanks for the tip!

a magical movie that will always be the best baseball movie ever made

There are so many movies that are not on the list.

*61 has to be one of my favorites, along with A League of Their Own.

The Natural is another good one even though I am not a big Redford fan.

Field of Dreams is my favorite, but I also liked for The Love Of The Game.

There are too many to not mentioned. The Sand Lot is noticeably missing from your list. If I had to pick from your list it would be Field of Dreams.

This is a great compilation to be sure, but there is some mentionable ommisions such as "The Sandlot" and my personal favorite, "61" which I have lost count as to how many times I have watched this movie. That being said, my favorite amongst your list, and I am sure many will disagree with me, is "A League of their Own". I think this movie captures a very unique perspective about the game I so love.
