Major League.

I see you included Major League II in the poll, however you excluded Major League III: Back to the Minors. Scott Bakula has never been so insulted.

I have the same 3. Though thought about The Natural or A League of Their Own. Those were 2 hard omissions for me.

Scott Bakula-more believable in Major League III or as a old man college QB in Necessary Roughness???

I also really like A League of Their Own.

The Natural - I'm sorry but I have to be that guy - the book is just so much better, and the changes the movie made to the ending really undercut the overall message and theme of the story. Normally I'm fine with looking at the book vs. the movie as being two entirely separate entities, but the filmmakers need to at least understand the point of the book that they're making into a film in the first place.

Sorry, high horse rant over.

Regarding Scott Bakula, that's a really tough call. I mean, in Necessary Roughness, he stayed in tip top game shape by throwing a football 10 yards at a scarecrow for 15 years or whatever it was. Sounds legit!
