Name your favorite baseball biopics or movies

For me it's a toss up for Pride of the Yankees and Fear Strikes Out. Both great movies with great performances and very touching stories. Very inspirational movies too. I also loved The Winning Team with Ronald Reagan as Grover Cleveland Alexander. Like the others, it's touching and inspirational. I loved Reagan as Alexander. Another big favorite of mine is The Stratton Story with Jimmy Stewart. I loved it for the same reasons I mentioned above.

Mr. Baseball, with Tom Selleck, is my all-time favorite baseball movie.

I thought 61* was enjoyable, and Bang The Drum Slowly was good as well.

I should've mentioned Field of Dreams. I love that movie.

1) Field of Dreams, as a fictional story.

After that?

Pride of the Yankees, Eight Men Out, 61, were all very good.
