Snakkle's Erin Fox visited the Les Girls Celebrity Cabaret benefiting the National Breast Cancer Coalition Fund and asked celebrities to tell us which baseball films they loved. Then we added a few of our own. There are more, of course, so if your fave didn't make the cut, let us know in the comments. The more baseball movies, the better. By Brett Singer
61* (2001)
Fans of 61*, directed by Billy Crystal, like to say that if you don’t know what the asterisk is for, don’t bother seeing the movie. We think that’s a little unfair, so here’s a brief explanation. Two players on the 1961 Yankees were in a race to break Babe Ruth’s single season home-run record. It gets a little more complicated from there, involving whether or not the records would be considered the same because the length of the baseball season was now longer than before. (See? That wasn’t so hard.) Like Everyone’s Hero, this film is manna from heaven for Yankees fans, including Crystal himself. Watch the trailer here.
