Bull Durham, Major League, A League of Their Own, The Sandlot, Bad News Bears, The Natural, or The Fan?
Angels in the Outfield, duh :p
Fever Pitch? For Love of the Game?
Eight Men Out for me. Pretty much anything but The Natural.

(The only reason I have The Natural below Bull Durham, is cause of the rather Hollywoodized ending not staying true at all to the book.)
BUT you left out many other great baseball films.
61*
8 Men Out
Long Gone
Pride Of The Yankees
Bang The Drum Slowly
Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings
Soul Of The Game
Field Of Dreams (talk about touching on what makes Baseball special)
Day Of Independence (a very short film, touching on Baseball WWII and internment)
the answer is most certainly not the fan
Which one? :DQuote:

Then I thought how would they do against other baseball movie rosters.
Major League is awesome. Field of Dreams is cool too. I just ordered *61 on Netflix
ESPN's Bronx is burning is one of my favorites.
Soul of the game as well as Bull Durham are some of my favorites. Most baseball movies are pretty good. I haven't seen fever pitch yet.
definitely the bad news bears and major league. i've never seen the natural or bull durham.
Well with the easy access of media these days..Time to get on with your baseball historical movie watching. lolQuote:

But in the movies everything worked out and they had chemistry.
Bull Durham. Hands down. Case closed. :D
Field of dreams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bull Durham, followed closely by Field of Dreams and a distant third would be Eight Men Out for me.
Bingo.Quote:

Of those listed in the op, Bull Durhan, easily. Though I haven't seen The Sandlot or The Fan.
Sandlot is a fun movie, but The Fan was atrocious.Quote:
