The Best All-Time
Baseball Movies
The Pride of The Yankees | 1942 - Gary Cooper stars
as the great Lou Gehrig. Quite possible one of the best all
time baseball movies.
Field of Dreams | 1989 - Includes the terrific line, “If
you build it, they will come.”
The Sandlot | 1993 - Fantastic film about baseball,
growing up, and childhood experiences. The desirous
lifeguard scene at the local swimming pool is a classic. If
only your Bum would have been that clever as a kid.
Major League | 1989 - Not just a funny baseball movie,
but one of the funniest movies ever. Strike them out Wild
Thing!
A League of Their Own | 1992 - Tom Hanks and an
all-star cast. “There’s no crying in baseball.”
The Natural | 1984 - Robert Redford stars as Roy
Hobbs. One of his best movie roles.
Bull Durham | 1988 - Another all-star cast. Great movie
about baseball life in the minor leagues.
42 | 2013 - Biographical film about the life of Hall of
Famer Jackie Robinson and the integration of baseball.
Moneyball | 2011 - Brad Pitt stars as Billy Beane, general
manager of the Oakland A’s. Beane uses sabermetrics to
assemble a successful baseball team on a lean budget.
