Is it baseball season yet? Movies to get you through.

I am an unabashed fan of baseball. And this time of year I start getting antsy, spring training is just starting and we have some weeks to get through before opening day.
Behold the magic of the "Baseball Movie."
My favorites are:
NEW FAVE:
“Moneyball”-Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill recreate the Billy Beane days in Oakland.
Old Faves:
“Bull Duram”-The steaminess between Kevin Costner and Susan Sarandon…priceless. And read some little know facts about the flick here.
“Little Big League”-It’s a dream come true when a little boy inherits a baseball team.
“*61”- Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle race to break Babe Ruth's single-season home run record.
Honorable Mentions
“Field of Dreams”-Kevin Costner again. I know it’s schmaltzy but it get my tear ducts going every time.
“Major League”-And even though I am not a Charlie Sheen fan anymore, I’ve been known to stop and watch it if it shows up on TV.
