I polled Facebook friends and Twitter followers before the MLB season started in search of the best baseball movies ever made.
Since then my favorite big league team has slid into the dumps, making this an ideal time to grab some popcorn and embrace predictable endings in front of the television.
Every movie mentioned by anyone is listed below, grouped together by the most nominated and placed in order by year of release.
The first five movies were the overwhelming choices among those that responded, meaning movies like The Bad News Bears and The Natural seem underrated in this study.
