With April being the month that MLB returns, fans of the sport must eagerly wait upon April 3rd for the return of some quality entertainment and beautiful weather to play the most perfect sport.

However, while waiting on the arrival date, they’ll have to find something to keep themselves entertained until then. While movies don’t captivate the feel of watching the sport itself, biopics and feel-good baseball movies are a great way to fill the void until the arrival of MLB.

Angels in the Outfield makes it to our number ten spot, a feel-good family movie with a heart warming premise of life and death. Fever Pitch is a 2005 romantic comedy film, directed by The Farrelly Brothers and stars Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore. Eight Men Out is the 1988 sports drama based on the 1919 Chicago Black Sox scandal.

Major League is a 1989 baseball comedy starring Charlie Sheen and hits a homerun with it’s quirky remarks and enchanting style of comedy. A League of their Own is a 1992 film starring Tom Hanks and portrays women filling in for men serving at WWII.

Field of Dreams is a 1989 starring Kevin Costner as an Iowa farmer who decides to build a baseball diamond in his crops. The payoff seems to be very distant with all the doubt and tension rising. 42 is the biopic of beloved baseball player Jackie Robinson and the struggles of achieving a dream.

Moneyball, starring Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill scouting to acquire new skilled players with a limited budget.  Bull Durham stars Kevin Costner and, is often considered “The best baseball movie of all time,” definitely a must-see.

Our number one movie pick is the classic and charming movie of The Sandlot. It’s aged like fine wine and is still as captivating as it was back in 1993. The comedic portrayals of these children are enough to make you reminisce, thinking about your childhood and the fun you had before growing up.
