Padre Steve’s Favorite Baseball Movies

Friends of the page,
It has been a pretty busy few weeks with a lot going on and unfortunately these things have cut into my time and opportunity to write about baseball. Anyone who has followed me for any time knows that I have almost always devoted much of October to stories about baseball and the playoff races. o be sure I have been following the playoff races though I really haven’t had a particular team in the fight since the A’s lost to the Tigers in the ALDS. That being said just want to see some great playoff baseball and for the Dodgers to lose. I have to admit that being a long time San Francisco Giants fan that I have certain prejudices and one is that I believe that the Dodger’s are evil, except when they are playing the Yankees. But I digress. Tomorrow will be a busy day around the house as my buddy Randy comes over to help me put down some new laminate flooring and either before or after I go run 6 to 8 miles. Probably after as I don’t know if I will be up to spending 6-7 hours working after a run of that distance. I think that tomorrow evening after all is said and done that I will curl up with Judy and the dogs and watch a movie. Until then, here is a re-blog of an older article on my favorite baseball movies. They all inspire me, make me laugh and make me think of good things rather than the poison that permeates so much of our society. After all, nothing bad accrues from Baseball.
Peace,
Padre Steve+

I love all things baseball as my regular readers can tell you. In fact God speaks to me through baseball, even baseball movies when I cannot get to a ball park.  Of course as most readers know I am also a big fan of comedy and when baseball and comedy get together it is like beer and pizza, two great tastes that go great together.  Yeah, you were thinking I would say peanut butter cups, what a waste of calories, but I digress.

I love baseball movies, comedies for sure but also serious films.  Here are my favorite baseball movies in no particular order, although I’m sure that the order I place them has some subconscious meaning or maybe it doesn’t.  But whatever, these are some of my favorite baseball movies with a few reason why I like them.
