Name That Baseball Movie!




A fun game anyone can play at home. A game we call "Name That Baseball Movie!". Picture no. 1. A movie set in the 40's about an old guy trying to make a comeback. Bat made from a lightning struck tree named "Wonder Boy". Starring Robert Redford as Roy Hobbs of the New York Knights. That's right "The Natural". See, I said it would be easy. Picture no. 2. It's about the forming of the All-American Girl's Professional Baseball League. Tom Hanks plays Jimmy Dugan, the washed up ball player who manages the team. You remember "There's no crying in baseball." Madonna, Geena Davis, that fat pig Rosie. That's it, "A League of Their Own". Picture no. 3 This movie is set in more modern times about another old guy trying to make his debut in the major leagues after blowing out his elbow. High school baseball coach in Nowhere, Texas. All the old guys at the barber shop arguing over how he should coach. The cute little boy. Dennis Quiad plays Jimmy Morris of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. What is the name of that one? Disney. "The Rookie" of course. Hey, thanks for playing my game and tune in next time for "Name That Baseball Movie!". Thank you and good night.
