I'm hoping you got that, and don't think I'm nuts.

You might be nuts, but I definitely got it.

"Bats, they are sick. I cannot hit curveball. Straightball I hit it very much. Curveball, bats are afraid. I ask Jobu to come, take fear from bats. I offer him cigar, rum. He will come."

Jon- All the movies you mention are excellent. Eight Men Out was also a good story, but I saw a movie this past weekend that might just be better than all of the movies we have seen and loved.

Sugar is a movie that does not have the Hollywood star power of Bull Durham or Major League, but from a baseball perspective is done so well. I wrote a blog about it here:

Man this is a tough one....I would have to say Bull Durham is #1 for me.....but Field of Dreams is hard to pass on, so I would say it's #2.....The Sandlot is #3 for me because it reminds me of my childhood with the gang playing ball all day...and who didn't have a Wendy Peffercorn in their neighborhood......

The best baseball movie of all time is a little more obscure. It is called "Long Gone" and was on HBO a number of years ago. Check it out you won't be dissapointed.
I also like Eight Men Out, Cobb, and The Final Season.
