With the 2022 Major League Baseball season finally underway, it’s probably a good time to reflect back on what I feel are the best of all baseball feature films. A sport that many people (including me) think is lacking in action (but strong on strategy and personality), it has also provided a wellspring of the greatest-ever sports movies. This could have easily been a Top 10 list. (See the included “honorable mention” titles.)
‘Field of Dreams’ (1989)
Directed by Phil Alden Robinson and based on the bestselling novel by W.P. Kinsella, “Field of Dreams” is all that and a bag of chips. Kevin Costner stars as Ray, a New York native now eking out a living as a fledgling farmer in Iowa with his wife Annie (Amy Madigan) and daughter Karin (Gaby Hoffman).
