    If I remember correctly it was called pistol. It was about Pete Maravich. Probably watched the movie 1000 times thinking I would be the next Pistol Pete.

    Kevin Costner stared in Field Of Dreams, Bull Durham, For The Love Of The Game and Tin Cup. All 4 will likely get votes and all 4 deserve it.

    Good call on Hoosiers.

    I think you mean Friday the 13th. Jason wore the hockey mask. Not sure what the heck Micheal Myers was wearing.

    yeah, as good as the baseball stuff is, the love angle gets a bit tiresome.

    For boxing, I love the Rocky series, especially Rocky Balboa, where he finally gets rid of the beast inside of him. I do like Creed and Creed II. Creed II a bit more than Creed. However, my favorite boxing movie is Undisputed with Ving Rhames and Wesley Snipes.

    On the opposite end of the spectrum, I never realized how many sports movies I liked with Adam Sandler in them.

    My bad on The hockey mask. It was Friday The 13th. I ruined my own joke.

    Oooo, I just thought of another honorable mention.

    Tag - Tag. This is a recent comedy that way exceeded my expectations. It had me in stitches. It's based on a true story about this group of friends that has kept the same game of tag going since they were kids. They live in different cities now and will wear disguises to sneak up on their friends and "tag" them. Great concept, great movie.

    Im surprised I haven’t seen Replacements. It’s definitely a show that I watch if I happen to stumble across it.

    There's another one I thought someone might say. I'll hold off on mentioning it for now. Not that it's good, just a funny reference.
