3. Moneyball. Somewhat factually based, often heavily dramatised. Take out the whole daughter plot line, and focus on the baseball aspects - it has some very well scripted and very well acted scenes. Hill and Hoffman are fantastic and I think Chris Pratt played his role perfectly - given many actors would overact that part into oblivion.
2. Major League. It has some major flaws (the old guy pitching barely capable of throwing, the crowd scenes) but it also has some classic scenes - especially everyone that involves Charlie Sheen as Ricky Vaughan. The 3rd strike at a Ryanesque 102 clicks is killer.
1. Bull Durham. The perfect mix of on and off field sports, humour and romance. And two of the best character names of all time - Crash Davis and Nuke LaLoosh. Robert Wuhl, Sarandon and Robbins are all terrific - but it’s Costner’s show and only a true fan of the sport could produce a performance like he did.
