With baseball season now at the halfway point there are some fans out there whose favorite team is already out of the pennant race and finishing the season .500 is their only goal or dream. Some fans are anxiously waiting to see what the second half will bring with hopes high that come October our teams will still be playing ball.

Baseball fans are also likely to be fans of baseball movies. Through the years there have been over 100 movies made about America's pastime but there aren't more then a handful that could be considered pennant winners in their own right.

Here is a list of my choices for the 10 best baseball movies made to date. If your favorite movie is not included that doesn't mean I didn't like it but perhaps I just liked these 10 better.

I am hopeful, as always, that someone reading this will see a title or two they have never seen and will seek out that film and enjoy it.

As usual this list is in alphabetical order and not by preference:

Did You Know?
"The Bad News Bears," (1976), spawned two sequels, a short-lived television series and a 2005 remake.

Great selection. League of Their Own is still one of my alltime favorite movies.

Okay, I almost got a little worried that you did not include my 3 favs, until the end of the article. Natural, League and Dreams are the best. But for pure nostalgia and a true glimpse into neighborhood baseball, what about SANDLOT!!!!????
