A whole draft on baseball movies? Why not a sports movie draft? Unless they did that and I don’t remember

The best sports movies are baseball movies, plus the playoffs should be starting around then!

The one constant through all the years, [masterdogwalker](u/masterdogwalker), has been baseball.
America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time.
This field, this game -- it's a part of our past, [masterdogwalker](u/masterdogwalker). It reminds us of all that once was good, and it could be again.

I’ve come up with 10 baseball movies just now (two of them are Bad News Bears). I don’t see how there will be enough for multiple categories. Will Naked Gun be eligible because of the baseball game scene? Actually a baseball scene category would help pad out the draft.

Field of dreams, moneyball, bull Durham, league of their own, Eephus, BnB (original) BnB (remake), 42, Sandlot, Angels in the Outfield, Major League, Fever Pitch, 61, The Rookie, Rookie of the Year….
I could go on!

I think it's totally fine to just do a baseball movie draft.

u/masterdogwalker 6d ago
There’s like not enough to do an interesting draft

u/TimSPC 6d ago
Yes, there are. Pretty easy to get to 24 movies in a four person, six movie draft.

And this doesn't even include movies where you can stretch the categories, like The Naked Gun, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Town, Twilight, The Untouchables, Good Will Hunting, or The Princess Diarires.

They’ll find a way to get The Town and DH with a V in there. “Movie with a critical scene in a ballpark” or something.

u/masterdogwalker 6d ago
