I thought this could be fun. After an introduction to our 16 movies, we'll begin an emlimination-style tournament.
I realize that there are more than 16 baseball movies. I purposely left out potential middle weights like Cobb or The Babe in order to get a decent cross-section of genres. Oh, yes, my friends, there are genres of baseball movies. Additionally, I grouped 16 movies into groups of four. Rejected groups: Disney, Old Classics and Yankees. Probably others that I've forgotten. Anyway, here are your finalists...
New Classics
1-Field of Dreams
4-For the Love of the Game
2-Bull Durham
3-The Natural
Kids
1-Bad News Bears (Walter Matthau's version)
4-Angels In the Outfield
2-The Sandlot
3-Little Big League
Drama
1-The Fan
4-A League of Their Own
2-61*
3-Eight Men Out
Comedy
1-Major League
4-BASEketball
2-Mr. Baseball
3-Mr. 3000
We'll take one-on-one votes until we get a winner from each category. From there, New Classics will take on Drama, while Kids take on Comedy. First vote tomorrow morning!
