At the Movies…

February 27, 2020

Sometimes I get grief when I complain about the quality of baseball films. My friends say I’m being too hard because I know and expect too much.

In the words of that great philosopher, Steve Martin

But I came across this on Youtube and thought it was pretty cool: Joc Pederson, Justin Turner, and Ferris, er, Walker Buehler, talking about a few flics and how they stand up, realistically-wise. Since this was produced by GQ, and magazines, fit on a bookshelf, I consider it fair game.

Movies discussed here:

  • Bull Durham
  • Hardball
  • Major League
  • The Natural
  • Eastbound & Down (TV)
  • 42

 

By the way, Yogi Berra was a big movie buff, too.
