The Lou’s

I don’t know, what name would you suggest for an award to honor the best baseball performances?

At Oscar time, Jim Caple of ESPN’s Page 2 offers his take on “Academy Awards for Baseball Movies” (he dubbed his awards the “Oscar Madisons”). No real surprises here, although I would have selected Costner over Matthau, Davis over Sarandon, and anyone else over Morrow.

And although Bang the Drum Slowly earned only a supporting Actor nod for Vincent Gardenia, it did give American pop culture TEGWAR, aka “The exciting game without any rules.”

This is as good a place as any to offer suggestions on books about baseball movies:
