"Movie Night"

Field of Dreams, and the Rookie.

If ratings don't matter, I think Mr Baseball would be a better choice then the Rookie.

Little Big League, Angels in the Outfield and Rookie of the Year

For that age, I would say Major League. Or maybe The Naked Gun - the one where Reggie Jackson is programmed to kill the queen. Too bad Adam Sandler hasn't made a baseball version of The Waterboy. That's the kind of stuff my 15-year-old likes. He liked Mr. Baseball, too.

But the adults would probably be more approving of EH's choices.

The Sandlot is good at any age.

Final Season is a great choice too.

both the cape league and the necbl made short movie's/documentory's about their leagues. that could be a cool double feature, like an officer and a gentleman was.

Baseballs most unbreakable feats

Thats a good choice, everybody likes that one.

Play Baseball Bloopers between movie's.
Thats always fun to watch.

For the 12-14 y/o Sandlot

Major League
A Las Vegas showgirl inherits ownership of the Cleveland Indians when her late husband passes, and, hating Cleveland, she seeks to move the team to the warmer climate of Miami, Florida. All she has to do is have the attendance dip below 800,000 and the lease will allow her to do so. She proceeds to assemble and field an Indians team full of awful players, including pitcher Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughan (Charlie Sheen) who, despite a 96-mile-per-hour fastball, just can't keep his pitches in the strike zone. But, despite her shady efforts, the team begins to win and the comedy ensues as she tries valiantly to make them lose

For the 15-16 y/o "For the Love Of The Game" with Kevin Costner as a pitcher struggling with the end of his career. Throws a no-hitter, very dramatic, tearful. or,

Bull Durham "Crash" Davis (Kevin Costner), a veteran minor-league catcher brought to the Durham Bulls single-A team to teach hot shot pitcher Ebby "Nuke" LaLoosh (Tim Robbins) about what it takes to make it to the major leagues. In addition to their battles on the diamond the two of them are also involved in a romantic triangle with baseball groupie Annie Savoy (Susan Sarandon), simply adding to the tension and comedic element.

Memorable Quote: "Relax, all right? Don't try to strike everybody out. Strikeouts are boring! Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic." - "Crash" to "Nuke"

I know this may seem like sacrilege to some, but I thought "For the Love of the Game" was a snooze-fest. Of course, I don't care for The Natural, either, so maybe it's just me. Interesting that no one has mentioned that one.

Bull Durham is my all-time favorite movie, but has some pretty racy parts. Right off the bat, Millie gets "lured" into the locker room by Nuke. Plus there is a little drug content as well. Still, my favorite move.
