It’s almost time for Spring Training and I’ve been thinking about some of my favorite baseball movies!

There are a lot of movies that I like but my absolute favorite baseball movie has to be Eight Men Out, which is about how the Chicago White Sox threw the World Series.  What I like about is that, while looking at the economics and the politics about baseball, it never lost sight of everything that makes the game so special.

In the scene below, fans at a minor league game think they’ve spotted Shoeless Joe Jackson, one of the best players to have ever been banned from baseball, at bat.
