TAKE ME OUT TO THE MOVIES!

Which has been around longer——the World Series, or baseball movies? If you answered the World Series, you're wrong. The first game of the World Series was played in 1903, four years after the first baseball film, "Casey at the Bat," graced the screen in 1899. For more than one hundred years, movies about baseball have been as elemental to the promotion and preservation of America's pastime as the game itself. Great pictures, like THE PRIDE OF THE YANKEES and A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN, remind us of the game it was. And others, like THE SANDLOT and ANGELS IN THE OUTFIELD, show us what baseball can do, and has done, for the spirit of youth. Visit this site for an overview of baseball movies——you may even find titles you've never heard of before. The movies listed are divided into topics for easy sorting and sifting. Categories include biographies and documentaries, drama, children, musical, comedy, and thriller and crime dramas. Each title includes the release date, stars, and a brief synopsis.
