Have a Milan kid on my lunchtime pickup team, and Plumps last shot makes a helluva bowl a chowdah.

I'm a native Texan but even before I made my way up to Indiana I loved Hoosiers. I put it up there in my "favorite sports movies" list. Right alongside Major League, which is, in my opinion, the best baseball movie ever.

Li'l Giant -

Are you making the trip to Springfield?

I guess I should have mentioned I'm also a current Texan as well. Since it's about 1200 miles or so, I'm going to have to listen on the internet. Thanks for the invite, though.

Major League rules.  It just noses out Bull Durham for the best baseball movie of all time (on my personal list).  I'd put Field of Dreams on top of the list, but the more I see it, the less Field of Dreams strikes me as a baseball movie and more of a father/son movie in a baseball context.  Quick aside, if you're ever passing through Iowa, go to Dyersville and visit the Field of Dreams.  It's an awesome time for any fan of the movie...there's nothing quite like having a catch on that diamond.

Dude, Bull Durham isn't a "baseball movie". It's a "chick flick" with some baseball interspersed to keep the guys interested. Kind of like For Love of the Game, another Costner chick flick.

And you think you know somebody...wow.  We can agree to disagree on this point.

LOL, that's worth a karma point.

Alright, I'm going to have to give Major League another look.  But I've tried twice to get all the way through it and failed miserably both times.

Like I have with Bull Durham, although I think I've tried more than twice.

I thought Major League was puerile. I loved the baseball stuff in Bull Durham, but I cast my baseball movie vote for Eight Men Out.

We're in agreement on this one, I can't get through Bull Durham, either.  Eight Men Out is probably me favorite baseball movie.  Not quite as good, though, as another John Sayle's fllick that had much of the same cast, Matewan, where David Strathairn portrays a West Virginian police chief absolutely perfectly.

Police Chief: "You boys have ten minutes to get those belongings back in there."
Company Man: "You wouldn't be talking to us like that if we had all our boys here."

Pause.

Police Chief: "You had all your boys here, I'd give you five."

Field of Dreams, unquestionably, is the leader for me.  You're right, Wally, it's a father/son movie and as the baseball playing son of a baseball playing father, it really gets me.  Also, James Earl Jones' speech near the end about baseball standing the test of time as "America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers" is magnificent.

I was in Dyersville this summer, and you're right, you feel enchanted the whole time your out on that diamond.  Very glad I made the sidetrip to visit it.

[pennstghs]

scotsbrod i def. agree with you on the fireld of dreams opinion. i looked at old pictures i have from when i visited there as a little kid as i lived in iowa for 6 years.

When I hear "baseball movie" I think Major League, Eight Men Out and The Natural and to a lesser extent Field of Dreams.

Wally, you ought to tell them about The Ball.

[WillieBrown]

Harry Doyle and Lou Brown are arguably the best personalites from any movie of all time

New Top 25 Poll is out:

New #1 is Wisconsin Stevens Point and former #1 Amherst is now #3
Wooster moves up one notch to #4
Wittenberg moves up one notch to #6

Ohio Northern, after their Saturday loss, drops out of the Top 25
No OAC teams in the Top 25 though ONU and John Carroll are "receiving votes"

Hope, after their loss to Calvin, drops to #10
Lake Erie, first in the NCAA regional rankings, is still "receiving votes" and is ostensibly #26.

GO SCOTS!

Yeah, that "current" definitely clears that up.
