I have a soft spot for The Sandlot (For-ev-er! For-ev-er!) and I think A League of Their Own maybe the the most entertaining of the bunch, but of all of 'em, Field of Dreams will always be my favorite.

Field of Dreams is amazing and the best most likely, but I figured I'd go for Sandlot since no one else will. What a fun movie to watch as a kid

Mr. Baseball

It's also a surprisingly accurate look at japanese culture.

Definitely Sandlot. The coming of age type story will always be awesome in that movie

Gee, Will, why did you skip Raimi's baseball movie?

Because Kevin Costner hijacked the production and it sucked.

You just voted for it because you're a chick!

I am not putting Mr. Baseball on this. It is humorous, but is an aged piece of early 90s pop trash. If that goes on the list, then so does For Love of the Game and Rookie of the Year.

I had to vote for The Sandlot because The Fan wasn't up there. A League of Their Own was great, but it has Rosie O'Donnell and Madonna in it. Bonus points for the Tom Hank pee scene.

I will never put a Tony Scott movie in any film poll

Yup. It's one of the market-tested soulless Disney flicks of the 90s. It has as much heart as The Fox and the Hound 9.

For real, Major League IS the best baseball movie ever.

So many lolz in that movie
