	Baseball movie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A baseball movie refers to a sports film belonging to a genre where the game of baseball is prominently featured in the plot.
		If movies are often referred to as an American art form, then the baseball movie must be the most American of all.
		Other baseball films are pure fiction, using baseball as a backdrop for humor (The Bad News Bears) or even mythology (The Natural).

		The movie is a roller coaster of emotions for Redford's character; we see him go from hot prospect to overrated rookie due to injuries and problems with a woman, and ultimately redemption when he leads his team to the World Series.
		The movie centers on the rivalry between two sisters, Geena Davis and Lori Petty, but is truly a baseball movie.

		The roster of baseball movies made since the 1899 one-reeler entitled Casey at the Bat numbers about 120, and although there are a few standouts -- most notably, Pride of the Yankees and Bang the Drum Slowly -- the genre as a whole has been about as successful as the Seattle Pilots.
		The movie was written and directed by Ron Shelton, whose credits include the screenplay for the 1986 film The Best of Times and five years as a second baseman in the Baltimore Orioles chain.
		Baseball has to platoon with love (or sex) in the movie for box office considerations, and given the won-lost record of past baseball pictures, that's understandable.

	Baseball Movie Reviews
		Actually, most of the baseball movies made recently have been quite successful in the box office and in overall popularity.
		Costner is not exactly a believable catcher, and the sex obsession of the movie is geared toward 30- to 50-year-olds (not that there's anything wrong with that).
		The baseball portions of the movie -- and there is a great deal -- are outstanding (Costner IS believable as a pitcher, and his friend/catcher is also on the ball) and the romantic relationship bits can be quite touching as well, though perhaps overly dramatic.

		Baseball, as an association, doesn't nearly have the same panache as Baseball as an institution.
		A friend of mine put this turn of plot in the not-so-subtle terms of "I went to a baseball movie and a romance broke out." It is a romance set in the world of baseball, making it somewhat bizarre because of its appeal to both genders.
		There is just too much baseball in it for it not to be a baseball movie.

	YMCA Baseball Team Movie Review by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net
		As a result, baseball has become Korea's national pastime, a game that is near-and-dear to the hearts of the nation's sport fans.
		The introduction of baseball and the formation of the first team, the YMCA Baseball Team, occurred as Korea increasingly fell under the political influence of Japan, which had been aggressively expanding its empire since the late 1800s.
		After reading about the exploits of Korea's first baseball team, "Joint Security Area (Gongdong gyeongbi guyeok JSA)" scribe Kim Hyun-seok was inspired to make "YMCA Baseball Team (YMCA Yagudan)" his directorial debut, which is now available as a special edition DVD release (Region 1 and 3).

		Baseball is huge in Japan, and the Japanese professional leagues have exported stars such as Hideki Matsui, Ichiro Suzuki and Hideo Nomo to the American Major Leagues.

	Return to baseball movie finds Kevin Costner back at the top of his 'Game' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The movie star career of Kevin Costner, as everyone knows, has been on a downward spiral since his 1990 Oscar triumph, "Dances With Wolves." He's spent most of the decade since making a series of legendary, ego-driven flops, and one sappy romance.
		Baseball fans will note the movie is hardly an accurate picture of the state of our troubled national pastime.
		Still, it's Costner's vehicle, and he carries it with a gimmick-free performance that emphasizes all his best qualities as a star: an endearing masculine charm, a skillful underplaying of almost every scene and a willingness to be, at times, infuriatingly human.
