"The one constant through all the years has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game, is a part of our past. It reminds us of all that once was good, and what could be again." - James Earl Jones

For baseball fans the end of October marks a long drought. After six months with few days off, suddenly there's no baseball, and that's tough for baseball addicts. Withdrawal symptoms soon set in; and the Hot Stove League strikes up—speculating about what moves the home team front office should make to improve the team before next year. It's a perfect time to break out the baseball movies.

Literary critic Jacques Barzun once wrote "Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball . . ." So in a sense baseball movies can offer a great deal of insight into our collective psyches.

Baseball has played a major and minor role in motion pictures for nearly a century. Whether you recall Kevin Costner playing Crash Davis in "Bull Durham" or Tom Hanks simply mentioning he was the coach of the high school baseball team in Saving Private Ryan, there have been some great representations of baseball in the movies.
