What Are the Best Baseball Movies of All Time?
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: In Mississippi, the unusual cold weather has sparked mixed feelings. While snow on beaches seems absurd—Alaska being warmer—it provided a moment of joy for kids, including snow cream-making, despite one child’s disdain. After some outdoor fun, even kids retreated indoors for warmth. To combat boredom, the author advocates for reading, quoting Oscar Wilde on its importance. Mississippi has produced many great writers, and the author suggests exploring works by local authors like Parrish Alford and Patricia Neely Dorsey for cozy indoor activities during the chilly spell. Sharing lesser-known Mississippi authors is encouraged, highlighting the joy of books.
