I mean Field of Dreams was good, so was Pride, but A League of Their Own is a classic up there with The Color Purple which cast a lot of women. It seems that if there are a bevy of women cast, the film fails. This attitude sucks, really. Girls ROCK! There must be a male dominant problem here.

Realistic baseball scenes, great story and great acting. Second favorite was "Pride of the Yankees" but it had a little too much hollywood fluff. "The Natural" by far. Realistic baseball scenes,

The story still holds up after more than 60 years. Ray Milland is great leading the cast, including beautiful Jean Peters as the love interest, character actor Ed Begley as the team owner, and the underrated/unappreciated Paul Douglas as the "sidekick"! I love that they usually show it around opening day. I rate it a full 10! "It Happens Every Spring", while a fantasy with cheating involved is one of the best baseball movies!

However, it is not a baseball film. It is a film about the struggles of a boy and his overbearing father. But I could not get past the scenes at Fenway Park. The Red Sox all had on their home jerseys except Jimmy Piersall (Anthony Perkins) who was wearing something completely different. He wore the same jersey in every scene. Kind of like he slept in that uniform. Granted, I thought "Fear Strikes Out" to be a great film as film goes. However, it is not a baseball film.

It was 101 minutes of "been-there-done-that". Not about famous people, or with famous stars, it was about baseball as played by thousands of youngsters. The greatest sporting event of the year is still the Little League World Series. Look there for sincerity, honesty, and a love of the game.
