Hello Pilgrims
We're not just playing a game based on a game here.

I was trying for the opening scene about 108 beads in a rosary, but this one's short and I think it's clean.

embarrassingly I have never seen Bull Durham, 8 Men Out or The Natural. What else should be considered the "canon" of baseball cinema?
ReplyDelete'Major League' has to be in there. Also, 'For Love of the Ga'- just kidding.
ReplyDeleteAlso, thanks for the article it was a good read. For me, if you're going to walk the mystical path of baseball and still think it culminates in October instead of a Tuesday evening in August then I don't know what to tell you, except that I don't think you get it.
ReplyDeleteTruer words have never been spoken than what you said about Tuesday nights in August. That should be carved into a wall somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI love almost all baseball movies, including "Mr. Baseball." I know it's not the best, but I'm a sucker for Tom Sellack. Plus, Dennis Haysbert (aka Pedro Cerrano) is in it. "Bull Durham" is number one. "Field of Dreams" is great. How about "Bad News Bears"? That movie is incredible!
Curt what about Mr. 3000 . . really?
