So what’s your baseball dad movie weepy?

November 29, 2010

Was it the “Hey, dad, you wanna have a catch?” ending of Field of Dreams…

or Jimmy Morris giving his dad the ball for his Major League Debut in The Rookie? (Sorry, no video.)

Or, coming from another angle, how about this from Fear Strikes Out, with its foreshadowing music, wide eyes, and guilt-inducing collapse by Karl Malden as Tony Perkins’ (Jimmy Pirrsal) dad?

Speaking of movies, here’s a “Lest we forget” in honor of Leslie Nielsen, who died this weekend at the age of 84.
