Michael Kay is an asshat. He calls a turrible game for the Yankees.

Somebody prove me wrong.

It’s almost as if he gets excited when the other team does something good.

That’s what really grinds my gears the most.

Him being a total asshat dumbass is secondary.

First... Bull Durham > Field of Dreams

These are most likely in my top 10 and don't meet your criteria:

61*
The Bad News Bears
Eight Men Out
Field of Dreams
Moneyball
A League of Their Own
The Sandlot

Major League and Bull Durham are also in my top 10, but do have love interests.

I will admit that Little Big League is a guilty pleasure.

The only correct answer is Rookie of the Year

Honorable Mention: The Fan

61*-no interest in ever seeing
The Bad News Bears- great
Eight Men Out- whatever, old movies suck
Field of Dreams- best in the list
Moneyball- no interest in seeing because of the bullshit factor
A League of Their Own- watchable
The Sandlot- It's fine, but overliked by people my age(40ish)

Probably will never see 42 unless struggling for options on a plane.

Rene Russo is the best part of Bull Durham, so that doesn't make for a good baseball movie.

The Fan is probably worth a rewatch just for the ridiculous factor.

Dazed and Confused gets honorable mention because next to Major League it is probably one of my most seen movies.

Moneyball doesn't mention Hudson Mulder or zito once
Complete joke of a movie

Good book

Changed my mind on League of Their Own currently airing on Vice- to not watchable.

Watching Running Man instead.

I am well aware of the flaws in Moneyball. It's not a documentary and still a good movie.

Tatis looks like another excellent value mega contract.

If you are the Padres, how confident are you that Juan Soto will not test positive for PEDs in the next three years?

Oh Snap I forgot about Rookie of the Year. That movie was TONS of fun to watch as a kid.

Field of Dreams is a classic and deserves to be.

Sandlot was a good kids movie in its day.

Moneyball was a typical book-movie translation that does nothing but briefly summarize the book for people too lazy to read it.

42, a brief video summary of a very interesting historical event. Nothing special as a movie itself.

Most of the others it's been too long since I saw them. I enjoyed Rookie of the Year when I was 11 years old but I never saw again since I saw it in the theatre.

You still have a hatred towards Seth?

Seriously, I found Brad Pitt's and Jonah Hill's interactions/performances very good. If you're talking about inaccuracies, then most sports movies based off of real events will piss you off.

I enjoyed moneyball a lot but Jonah hill was EXTREMELY overrated

He got nominated for an Oscar basically for going 3 hours without putting together a dick joke and literally nothing else

Pitt put in work
