    Here’s A Good Movie I Forget About

     You know what’s a good movie that I always forget about? Moneyball. Flipping through the ol’ movie collection, I happened upon this gem of Hollywood baseball and thought, “Oh yeah!

  • Saturday Morning Cinema: Baseball Movies #4 – Field of Dreams

The live game provides a season-long drama as fans’ favorite players battle across a grueling, three-act saga against gifted foes, each character striving for the…

    Take note: one of my ideal weekend getaways involves watching baseball and watching people. This is the ideal “two birds with one stone scenario” as I often spend the majority of my time at a baseball park watching people rather than the professional athletic display in front of me. (Describing some of the viewed teams…
