Baseball Movies, some of the best cinema ever!

The great thing with the new year getting closer to spring is the cable TV start up of the annual Baseball Movie Marathons. Some of the best cinema ever made has been Baseball Movies. No sport captures the sentimental passion of Americans like Baseball. There have been great Football and Basketball movies, Hoosiers is still one of my favorites, but the amount of great Baseball Movies dwarf all the others.

Here is a list of great Baseball Movies. If you haven't seen one on this list, check it out. If you know people who haven't, make them. Feel free to post if you think one is missing.
