10 best baseball movies

Although there are many great baseball movies, I have to give my top spot to "Field of Dreams." Other baseball films might have more authentic baseball scenes, but no other film has more heart. So I thought I'd put together a list of my favorite baseball movies of all time. The two most important factors in compiling the list were that they had to be about baseball, and I had to be willing to watch them more than once. Also, I should note that these are all feature films, so Ken Burns' excellent documentary "Baseball" didn't qualify, but should not be missed by any baseball fan. -- Barry Koltnow, Orange County Register
