After an eventful off-season where we saw not one, but two of the largest contracts in MLB history—first for Manny Machado, then for Bryce Harper—baseball is finally in full swing. And while we can certainly appreciate the deliberate pace of our nation's storied pastime, we think we can all agree: baseball movies are much more exciting than regular season baseball games. Baseball movies are, by nature, shorter, more efficient, more captivating and vastly more Kevin Costner-y (always a terrific thing) than even the most competitive regular season Yankees-Red Sox bout. Yet it is the games, not the movies, that are televised at a blistering rate, and the players, not our beloved story characters, who are shown rocketing long pop-ups on SportsCenter every night (we're looking at you Aaron Judge). |
