What’s the best baseball movie of all time?
You told us…
"If it weren’t for Major League and the hilarious Cleveland Indians I don’t think I would have ever watched a baseball game in my life. ‘Wild thing, you make my heart sing!’"
—Molly Arcand, Mississauga, Ont.
"‘There’s no crying in baseball!’ A League of Their Own — great cast, characters, acting and so on. Enough said. ‘You’re gonna lose.’"
—Tyson Southcombe, Langley, B.C.
"Without a doubt, Field of Dreams. The scene in which Shoeless Joe Jackson introduces Ray to his father as a young ball player is incredible. When Ray asks, ‘Hey dad, you wanna have a catch?’ I cry every time."
—Tabitha Knight, Edmonton, Alta.
"It would have to be The Natural starring Robert Redford. A normal guy amazingly has the ability to hit home runs. A simple movie that raises a lot of unanswered questions."
—Phil Capobianco, Hamilton, Ont.
"The Jackie Robinson Story. Jackie Robinson played himself and his wife was played by Ruby Dee. It was her first movie. Story about the first black baseball player in the major leagues and how he overcame racial barriers to be the rookie of the year."
—Raymond H. Smith, Toronto, Ont.
