What’s The Best Baseball Movie?

Baseball season is in full swing – in fact, this week, the 90th Major League Baseball All-Star game will be played. This week, a reader has asked for some help in identifying the best movie about the national pastime – so, batter up!

It will be the sixth time that the Cleveland Indians have hosted the All-Star Game, and with this, they’ll be the hosts with the most hostings (breaking a four-way tie with the Pittsburgh Pirates, St. Louis Cardinals, and Cincinnati Reds, who have each hosted the game five times). Not that any of that matters to the question at hand;
