5. 42 (2013)
Based on the true story of baseball player, Jackie Robinson, the first black athlete to play in Major League Baseball (MLB) during the modern era. In 1945, sportswriter Wendell Smith suggests that Brooklyn Dodgers owner Branch Rickey consider Jackie Robinson as the black ballplayer Rickey is looking for.
A scout for the Dodgers approaches Robinson and invites him to Brooklyn where he is offered a $600 per month contract and a $3,500 signing bonus. Robinson accepts the offer but nothing prepares him for the resistance he meets at his new team.
While playing against the Philadelphia Phillies, Robinson is taunted by his manager, Ben Chapman and this leaves him frustrated. Encouraged by a team mate, Robinson goes ahead to score the winning run. The movie succinctly dramatizes the emotions and racism that surrounded Robinson and other black Americans in his time.
Lisa Kennedy, of the Denver Post, lauded the film, saying “This story inspires and entertains with a vital chapter in this nation’s history. It is definitely one of the best baseball movies of all time. If you would like to watch 42, it would be good to know that the movie is available on movie buying sites like this one.

6. Eight Men Out (1988)
This is based on Eliot Asinof’s 1963 book Eight Men Out; The Black Sox and the 1919 World Series. It tells the story of eight ball players from the Chicago White Sox who decide to betray their game and their fans for money. They make this decision largely because Charles Comiskey, owner of the team refuses to reward his players for a spectacular season.
The movie is a detailed drama about the Black Sox scandal of 1919 when the finest Chicago White Sox players were tried on charges of conspiracy.
In the words of Gene Siskel, “Eight Men Out is fascinating if you are a baseball nut … the portrayal of the recruiting of the ball players and the tight fisted rule of Comiskey is fascinating … thumbs up. Although this is one of the old baseball movies out there, it is definitely a good watch and it is available for cheap movie rentals.

Gehrig works his way through the minor league baseball and eventually joins the Yankees. Along the line he meets Eleanor whom he falls in love with and eventually gets married to. The Yankees become the most dominant team in baseball, and Gehrig becomes a fan favorite.
At the peak of his career, Lou discovers he has a disease and in the words of the doctor “Gehrig has a rare, incurable disease, and only a short time to live.

10. Million Dollar Arm (2014)
This is based on the true story of baseball players Rinku Singh and Dinesh Patel who were discovered by sports agent J. B. Bernstein after winning a reality show competition.
J. B. Bernstein is a big-time sports agent who, along with his partner Ash Vasudevan, recently formed their own company. Realizing India has a potential for untapped baseball talent, J.B approaches an investor named Chang with a proposal- a talent contest called “Million Dollar Arm” staged in India.
The two winners of the contest are to be flown to the U.S. and receive coaching to become legitimate baseball prospects within two years alongside the prize money. However, Chang agrees to fund the contest on the condition that the prospects are ready within only one year.
Rinku Singh and Dinesh Patel emerge winners and they are flown to the U.S. to begin their baseball training.
Considering the fact that they do not speak or understand English, are instantly overwhelmed by the sights and sounds of America and it seems almost impossible that they would become legitimate prospects in one year.
Scott Foundas of Variety described the film as a “sharp, slickly produced addition to the Disney sports movie canon [that] works as both a stirring underdog tale and as a revealing look at the expanding global footprint of the American sports-entertainment machine”.

11. Fever Pitch (2005)
This baseball film centers on Ben, a high school teacher in Boston who is obsessed with the Boston Red Sox team. Ben inherited his uncle’s season tickets and almost all his possessions bear the Red Sox logo except his toilet paper, which bears the New York Yankees insignia.
Ben meets Lindsey, a business executive whom he falls in love with but his love for baseball threatens to ruin what they share. Fever pitch is basically a war between love and baseball, and to prove he is not obsessed, Ben agrees to miss a game against the Yankees to escort Lindsey to her friend’s birthday party.
The game turns out to be a remarkable one and Ben angrily blames Lindsey for making him miss it. This leaves Lindsey heartbroken and they go their separate ways. However, they are eventually able to mend their relationship and find a common ground.

12. Major League (1989)
Written and directed by David S. Ward, this movie centers on the fictionalized version of the Cleveland Indians baseball team. Former Las Vegas showgirl Rachel Phelps inherits the Cleveland Indians baseball team from her deceased husband but the problem is that she detests Cleveland and intends to migrate the team to Miami. Check out our best immigration movies post
However, she can only move the team on the condition that attendance for the entire season is below 800,000. Determined to relocate to Miami at all cost, Rachael decides to put together the worst team ever in the major league.
The team consists of Jake,a veteran catcher with dodgy knees, Ricky, a rookie pitcher, paroled from prison, Roger and also a Cuban refugee who practices voodoo in the locker room. Basically they’re a terrible team. But they go ahead to surprise everyone especially Phelps whose plan of relocating the team fails.
The consensus about the movie reads “Major League may be predictable and formulaic, but buoyed by the script’s light, silly humor—not to mention the well-built sports action sequences and funny performances.”

Gibson’s sessions with Dr Mobley reveals that he had a troubling childhood; he was and is still pressured to excel by his father. Basically Gibson has daddy issues. Even though, the movie is a sports movie, it’s not your typical baseball movie as most of the scenes involve Gibson talking to the people in his life and his conversations with Dr Molbey who tries to uncover the root of his emotional problems
Phenom is described by The Los Angeles Times as “an unusual and affecting baseball drama where nearly all the action is internal.

14. The Stratton Story (1949)
Sometimes, life throws us a curveball. But stories like that of Chicago White Sox player, Monty Stratton helps us see the rainbow at the end of the tunnel.
The Stratton Story is a true tale about the life of a young boy from Texas, with a talent for baseball pitching. He got signed up into the Chicago White Sox team with a lovely wife and a promising career ahead as a rising baseball player.
Unfortunately, in Nov of 1938, Monty Stratton experienced what seemed to be the end of his career. He accidentally shot himself in the leg and with it had to be amputated.
As tragic as this was, Monty Stratton shocked the baseball and sports world as a whole with a major comeback, when he pitched professionally in 1946, winning 18 games that season.

15. Bull Durham (1988)
This old baseball movie is partly based upon the minor-league baseball experiences of writer/director Ron Shelton and depicts the players and fans of the Durham Bulls, a minor-league baseball team in Durham, North Carolina.

At the end of the day, both men are able to put their differences aside, Ebby becomes a dominant pitcher and he’s called up to the major leagues. Crash and Annie also become an official couple.

Field of Dreams is one of the top baseball movies centres on Ray Kinsella who lives with his wife, Annie, and a daughter, on their Iowa corn farm. He is dissatisfied with the relationship he had with his late father, John Kinsella, a devoted baseball fan and we discover this early in the film.
One evening while walking through his corn farm he hears a voice whisper “If you build it, he will come” and also sees a vision of a baseball diamond in his field and the great Shoeless Joe Jackson (an American outfielder who played Major League Baseball (MLB) in the early 1900s)
Encouraged by his wife, Ray decides to actually build the baseball field in hopes that Joe Jackson will actually play on it. In order to build the baseball field, Ray travels to Boston so that he can enlist the support of a famous writer (James Earl Jones) who has disappeared from sight, and north to Minnesota to talk to what remains of a doctor (Burt Lancaster) who never got the chance to play with the pros.
Caryn James of The New York Times had this to say about the movie “A work so smartly written, so beautifully filmed, so perfectly acted, that it does the almost impossible trick of turning sentimentality into true emotion.”
