Anticipating Kevin Costners Draft Day on April 11th got me thinking about all his great baseball movies....so as we approach April and the snow is melting, here are 7 GREAT baseball movies to watch before Opening Day...and a GREAT quote from each!! 7. Major League 1989, Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, Wesley Snipes Vaughn deals...and Heywood swings and crushes one towards South America. Tomlinson will need a visa to catch this one, it is out of here and there is nothing left but a vapor trail.--Harry Doyle (Bob Uecker) 6. The Sandlot 1993 Remember kid, theres heroes and theres legends. Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.--Babe Ruth 5. Bull Durham 1988, Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins Strikeouts are boring--besides that, their fascist. Throw some ground balls. More democratic.--Crash Davis (Kevin Costner) 4. Field of Dreams 1989, Kevin Costner, James Earl Jones The one constant, through all the years Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. Its been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked this time. This field, this game, is a part of our past. It reminds us of all that once was good, and that could be again. --Terrance Mann (James Earl Jones) 3. Moneyball 2011, Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill When your enemy is making mistakes, dont interrupt them. --Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) 2. For Love of the Game 1999, Kevin Costner, Kelly Preston Gus Osinski: Hey Ace, whatsup?.... Billy Chapel: I dont know if I have anything left. Gus Osinski: You just throw whatever you got, whatevers left. The boys are all here for ya, well back you up, well be there, cause, Billy, we dont stink right now. Were the best team in baseball, right now, right this minute, because of you. Youre the reason. Were not gonna screw that up, were gonna be awesome for you right now. Just throw. 1. The Natural 1984, Robert Redford, Kim Basinger, Wilfred Brimley Iris Gaines: You know, I believe we have two lives. Roy Hobbs: How... what do you mean? Iris Gaines: The life we learn with and the life we live with after that.
