	Great bonus in BASEketball

	Txagsforever:	May 2nd, 2009 at 05:25 GMT		-2 points
	The greatest quiz yet.

	MovieDynamic:	May 2nd, 2009 at 05:28 GMT		-2 points
	You should add "Sugar," a baseball film that just came out this year and - from what I hear - is supposed to be one of the best baseball movies in a long time.

	bmo1616:	May 2nd, 2009 at 05:30 GMT		16 points
	You could make an argument that they 4 movies made in 1988 and 1989 are the 4 greatest baseball movies of all time, if not sports.

	Great quiz... of the top off my head, the only one missing is 61*, which is actually pretty good.

	Kevin:	May 2nd, 2009 at 05:32 GMT		1 point
	Yeah, I've heard good things about Sugar, too. I'm not gonna lie, I don't respect any of the movies on this list from after 1994.

	Txagsforever:	May 2nd, 2009 at 05:34 GMT		11 points
	Maybe consider 61* as a bonus?

	voljtw:	May 2nd, 2009 at 05:47 GMT		2 points
	I agree with Kyle...also the non-Baseketball bonus I got was nice.

	mustangrakes:	May 2nd, 2009 at 05:48 GMT		8 points
	I thought I'd put naked gun is as a laugh, but it was a bonus! Haha yeah I got baseketball too. 61 should be there. great movie and quiz

	GoBlue:	May 2nd, 2009 at 05:57 GMT		7 points
	Agree on 61*, and would also add Tiger Town (1983, Roy Scheider).

	nhrafan:	May 2nd, 2009 at 06:00 GMT		2 points
	Even though I'm not a fan of this particular movie, I am a fan of Air Bud in general; therefore, how disappointed I was when Air Bud: Seventh Inning Fetch was omitted :( Also, I too put in The Naked Gun as a joke, and was pleasantly surprised.

	JohnJF:	May 2nd, 2009 at 06:44 GMT		6 points
	Thank God for no huge omissions like with basketball (best I could think of was Brewster's Millions, though 61* is definitely more of a baseball flick). Interesting: two films starring Robert De Niro, yet neither is his best "baseball" film (The Untouchables).

	dummo:	May 2nd, 2009 at 07:15 GMT		0 points
	They should have included the original 1951 'Angels in the Outfield' instead of the terrible remake.

	Kevin Gillatt:	May 2nd, 2009 at 07:41 GMT		-2 points
	There are also 2 sequels to major league

	Snorkel:	May 2nd, 2009 at 07:49 GMT		15 points
	I HATE myself for not getting The Sandlot.

	Bailey:	May 2nd, 2009 at 08:05 GMT		2 points
	Sometimes the stats baffle me. How the heck did almost half the people know a Gary Busey movie from 1993? Or better than 1 in 3 know Summer Catch?

Comment below threshold: show it

	wow - an american sports quiz that i actually could have a good go at answering. liked this. 22/28

	jaspa:	May 2nd, 2009 at 08:56 GMT		0 points
	Was I the only one who couldn't stop thinking the theme from The Natural while taking this one?

	brianc:	May 2nd, 2009 at 09:33 GMT		5 points
	@ bailey: I didn't even remember gary busey being in that movie, but I guess he's the most recognizable name. it's the movie where the kid breaks his arm and somehow that gives him the ability to throw like 110mph so he becomes a big league pitcher. I would bet most of the people who got it, Gary Busey's name didn't help at all

	UEAdam:	May 2nd, 2009 at 09:38 GMT		6 points
	Now I have to live with the shame that not only did I get it in this quiz, but that I've also seen 'Ed' all the way through.

	MissInformed:	May 2nd, 2009 at 10:33 GMT		4 points
	If you follow the link from "Fever Pitch" it turns out that it was known as "The Perfect Catch" outside the USA & Canada, so could the latter be acceptable as an alternative answer, please? Thanks.

	Bull Durham is an amazing movie.

	cocky:	May 2nd, 2009 at 13:00 GMT		10 points
	The quiz was too heavily weighted toward the modern era. Only four from before 1984? Bios of Ruth, Dizzy Dean and Grover Cleveland Alexander (played by Reagan) were made in the 1940s, as well as the very amusing It Happens Every Spring.

	beauregard114:	May 2nd, 2009 at 13:14 GMT		7 points
	I was about to say, leaving out It Happens Every Spring is a shame, other than that, great game.

	lulubelles:	May 2nd, 2009 at 13:22 GMT		1 point
	I would've liked to have seen Three Wishes with Patrick Swatze at least as a bonus, I love that movie even though it's totally cheesy

	TOTALLY forgot Gary Busey was in Rookie of the Year

	If you build a baseball movie quiz, sporclers will come.

	dummo:	May 2nd, 2009 at 14:43 GMT		2 points
	@bailey: I guessed it because I remembered watching it at school one day at school when there was a teacher's strike, I don't remember Gary Busey being in that film, but I remembered the name and the era and given it was about baseball had a stab. I bet others were the same.

	Camden:	May 2nd, 2009 at 16:57 GMT		3 points
	You know why you don't remember Gary Busey in Rookie of the Year? Because that was before his motorcycle accident and he was still half way sane back then. Not even the same person.

	Camden:	May 2nd, 2009 at 17:03 GMT		-2 points
	"Clear the mechanism." Hahaha. That movie sucked. My little sister could have hit .400 off of Billy Chapel. Worst pitching motion EVER.

	chronosaurus:	May 2nd, 2009 at 17:39 GMT		-1 points
	@Camdem: I agree with you about "For the love of th game". That movie barely even qualifies for this quiz, it's a chick flick. There are like 12 minutes of baseball in the entire movie.

	Ben26:	May 2nd, 2009 at 17:43 GMT		2 points
	hell yes for the bonus answer!

	expat:	May 2nd, 2009 at 19:28 GMT		12 points
	what about Fear Strikes Out (Jimmy Piersall Story). Wasn't Fever Pitch actually a futbol movie from England then remade into an American Baseball movie?

	take me out to the movies, take me out with the crowd... buy me some popcorn and a small coke, i don't care if i spend too much money so i sit through the long previews. if those movies suck it's a shame. for it's three, two, one minute left til the ole' movie begins!!!!!!!!!

	pollockhead:	May 2nd, 2009 at 20:58 GMT		5 points
	im having a hard time with the fact that 61* hasnt been added in yet. Ben is usually good about fixing his mistakes..but this one is bothering me..and i dont want it as a bonus...put it in Ben, youre better than this.

	@mark. Yes, Fever Pitch, the Nick Hornby novel was about his obsession with football and the British movie starred Colin Firth. The American film had to be rewritten during production, because it was being filmed at the same time the Red Sox were actually winning the World Series.

	Man it's been all down hill since 1992
