6 – The Rookie – This 2002 heartwarming flick is acceptable for the whole family, just make sure there are plenty of tissue boxes on hand as you will become emotional watching high school coach Jim Morris fulfill a promise to his team and try out for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. His fastball has returned years after an arm surgery ended his first run at the majors and the emotional rollercoaster is on. This true story ends with a re-union with his dad and a brief career in the majors. A great film and the fact that it is based on a true story makes it even better.

There is a movie that they used to run every April on Channel 43 called “It Happens Every Spring.” It was made in 1949, and it stars Ray Milland as a nerdy chemistry professor who is obsessed with baseball, and he accidentally discovers a chemical compound that makes any object the compound touches repel wood. So he becomes a pitcher, loads up the ball with the compound on every pitch, and no one can get a hit off of him, and he becomes a sensation.
It’s a fun movie with not-bad-for-1949 special effects, and is quite enjoyable if you don’t think about the plot gaps too hard. That movie belongs on this list.
