SUMMARY: Baseball movies have historically stood out, with around 180 films dedicated to the sport. The genre’s appeal lies in baseball’s nuanced, often poetic narratives. While older films like “Pride of the Yankees” and “The Babe Ruth Story” featured less convincing players, more recent movies from the 80s and 90s include actors like Kevin Costner, who convincingly portrayed baseball players. Notable mentions include “Bull Durham,” celebrated for its dialogue; “Major League,” known for its humor; “A League of Their Own,” which highlights the All American Girls Professional Baseball League; “Field of Dreams,” mixing sentimentality with baseball lore; and “The Natural,” loosely based on a true story, showcasing Robert Redford’s talent. Additionally, movies like “Moneyball” and “61*” received honorable mentions. These films reflect baseball’s enduring impact on American culture, capturing the imagination of fans and non-fans alike.

SUMMARY: Bacon, dating back to 1500 BCE, originated with the Chinese salting pork belly, later embraced by the Romans and spread throughout medieval Europe. It preserves pork through smoking, enhancing its flavor, which is primarily due to its fat content. Globally, bacon has various names, such as “rasher” in the UK and “speck” in Italy. Its versatility is evident in dishes like bacon sandwiches, breakfast combos, and vegetable pairings. Commonly smoked with hickory and other woods, bacon can be fried or baked, while different brands, like Benton’s from Tennessee, offer unique flavors. Bacon remains a beloved culinary staple worldwide.
