America's Pasttime

A List of movies that feature baseball. Baseball often serves as the backdrop for human dramas and stories that can teach, entertain, and make you laugh. Movies that span time, borders, and barriers that will fill the hearts of any baseball fan. Many are timeless classics that you can watch time and again. Others are more forgettable. This list will never be complete as the genre continues to expand. As I discover new movies, the list will be updated.
