    They're all pretty good. Love of the game and Rookie are top notch. Bull Durham no slouch either.

    That's tough. For me it's a tie between Bull Durham and For the Love of the Game, but for my kids it is hands down "The Sandlot".

    Bull Durham

    Only being allowed to vote for one, I had to go with Bull Durham, if nothing else, just for the quotes from the movie! The Rookie, Love of the Game, Major League, Sandlot, - HECK they are all good provided you do NOT include Major League, Back to the Minors... That sequel just doesn't quite cut it...

    That's a tough choice!

    It really depends on my mood and whom I'm with. I'll always remember the last night we were in Cooperstown, after the C-town Dreamspark Tournament ended and my son and a few of his teammates (11-12 yr. olds) decided to stay in the campground where we, and a couple of other families, were staying. We drug a tv outside and me and the boys watched "Major League". What a hoot!
    I guess my favorite has to be "The Natural"... "Pick me out a winner, Bobby"... "I shoulda been a farmer"...
    "Bull Durham" would be second. It's still cool to be able to drive 15 minutes and still see that ballpark in Durham. It looks just like it did in the movie. The bar scene at the beginning was filmed in a bar in Raleigh that was, and still is, owned by my high school chemistry teacher, and yes I've had a few "adult beverages" there!
