Unfair baseball movie poll – DAMN YANKESS

Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s a way to modify the poll now; but Damn Yankees now has two votes!
You know since this poll is only for baseball movie fans it proves scientifically and conclusively that a significant number of non-baseball movie fans may leave the state if their taxes are raised or if single payer health care is enacted or if burdensome development regulations aren’t eased or if ATV’s aren’t allowed to run wild on state land or if Vermont Yankee isn’t allowed to operate for 30 more years.
It’s all beyond the shadow of doubt.
If I’d included 2, my son would have disavowed me. That’s also why I had to put “The Rookie” in there, it’s his favorite. Some of the others were in there for simple variety.
And while I didn’t vote for it, I did include “For Love of the Game,” which, despite being a flawed movie (it drags), it has a scene in it that, for whatever reason, just gets me misty every time I see it:
It would probably be a Hollywood fuck-up, but if they ever could do Phil Roth’s book The Great American Novel in all its politically incorrect charm, THAT would be the definitive baseball movie. His mythical third major league, the Patriot League , with all its ups and downs from 1898 through the depression thirties and finally the forties (when it was dissolved and purged from America’s consciousness after it had been ‘infiltrated’ by COMMUNISTS), is a good mirror on the sport and the country itself.
