Baseball Comedies
When the game gets rained out, bring your favorite sport inside with a winning baseball movie. For your next triple-header, pick up the following comedies:
A League of Their Own
Penny Marshall directed this light-hearted, nostalgic comedy about the All-Girls Professional Baseball League. Set in 1943, a time when women became part of the sport when many professional male players left for the war. Great comic turns by Geena Davis, Rosie O'Donnell and Jon Lovitz.
A comedic homerun about love and life in the minor leagues. Kevin Costner plays a seasoned catcher in the twilight of his career who mentors a dimwitted young pitcher, convincingly portrayed by Tim Robbins. Susan Sarandon levels the playing field as the passionate woman in between the two players.

A winning combination of a sharp, funny script and smart acting
A baseball owner's widow assembles a ragtag group of misfits and losers to play for the Indians, with hopes of derailing the ball club's lease. Her motive? To move the operation from Cleveland to sunny Florida. What she doesn't count on is the team turning their luck around for a winning season. This hilarious film stars Charlie Sheen, Wesley Snipes, and Renee Russo.
