They're Playing Baseball Today!
"The one constant through all the years Ray has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again, but baseball has marked the time. This field, this game is a part of our past Ray. It reminds us of all once was good and could be again."-James Earl Jones as Terence Mann in "Field of Dreams."
So today baseball begins again. For one day perhaps all is right with the world! Everybody who follows the sport has the same record today. Everybody has a shot at the World Series. For the record I'm picking the Cubs and the Yankees to square off in October! Couldn't pass up the day without a few clips.
"Bull Durham": Two clips. {May be language inappropriate}.
"The Natural", Final Home Run Scene:
"League of Their Own": "There's No Crying In Baseball." {Language}
"Pride of The Yankees" Lou Gehrig's Fair Well Speech.
Finally for us Chicagoites. Harry Carey singing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame".
And for what it's worth the 1975-76 Cincinnati Reds were the best baseball team of all time.
