So far, the best baseball movie I've seen was Kevin Costner's FOR LOVE OF THE GAME.
I'll keep a look out for "61."

Quote:Costner can make some pretty darn good movies as long as he isn't the writer or director...

My favorite baseball movie, without a doubt, is "Field of Dreams," followed by "Bull Durham," both starring Kevin Costner.
There's just something about Kevin Costner swinging a bat or on the mound that makes me very happy.

Well, he produced and directed Open Range -- my favorite Western -- and did the same with Dances With Wolves.
He also directed The Postman and Waterworld, both of which bombed with the critics, but were commercial successes. They weren't GREAT movies, but for my taste . . . they were decent. That's batting 500 in my book.
