There's No Crying In Baseball......

Guess what friends!  There is crying in baseball. There's lots of crying in baseball.  Especially when you're a Red Sox fan and your team has had the worse start in the clubs storied history. Things are looking up though, well sort of and I try to remain hopeful.  I have stopped switching channels during the games and have put a plug on the bad language I seemed to mutter through my clinched teeth.  Still there are times I just can't bear to watch.  During these stressful times I will pop in one of my favorite baseball movies.  Here's my list....swing batter batter swing!

1. Fever Pitch (2005) Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon. A very familiar story for obsessed  Red Sox fans.
2. Field of Dreams (1989)Kevin Costner, James Earl Jones.  If you build it he will come.
3. A League of Their Own (1992) Geena Davis, Tom Hanks and Madonna. Women's Baseball League during WWII.  There's no crying in baseball.  I love that line.
4. The Natural (1984)  Robert Redford, Glenn Close. A baseball player who has unnatural baseball talents.
   
5. Bull Durham (1988) Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon.  Will he make it to the "SHOW."
6. For the Love of the Game (1999) Kevin Costner, Kelly Preston. An aging pitcher gives up much to play the game. 
7. The Rookie (2002) Dennis Quaid. A high school baseball coach makes it to the major leagues after his team wins the championship.
8. Angels In the Outfield (1994) Danny Glover, Tony Danza and Christopher Lloyd.  A young fan prays for a miracle.
9. Sandlot (1993) James Earl Jones.  Just about being a kid and loving baseball.
10. Major League ( 1989) Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen and Rene Russo. Raunchy and very funny. 

Popcorn And A Movie......

With Valentine's Day just around the corner I decided to make a list of some of my favorite romantic movies for my daughter.  I love her to death but we have very different tastes in movies.  My all time favorite love story is Gone With The Wind.  We watched it together and she couldn't wait until it ended.  Maybe she'll look at this list and decide she would like to watch a couple of them with her dear mom.  What are some of the romantic movies that you have enjoyed over the years?

1. Gone With The Wind (1939)" Frankly my dear I don't give a damn."
2. You Got Mail (1998)  Watch it every time it's on.
3. Camelot (1967)  The pain in Richard Harris's eyes is heart wrenching.
4. The Bridges of Madison County (1995)  When her hand is on the car door handle my heart aches for her.
5. Out Of Africa (1995)  Gorgeous,  breathtaking scene stealing scenery.  Great costumes too.
6. City of Angels (1998)   Meg Ryan tear jerker.
