Opening Day Memories of Three Best Baseball Movies

 Today, overweight, middle-aged Americans across the country will button their shirts and head to work.  By shirts, I mean authentic Jeterpujolsrodriguez jerseys.  And by work, I mean go eat hot dogs, drink beer, and get a sunburn on the portion of their necks not covered in back hair.  (And that’s just the women.)  That’s right.  It’s opening day of Major League Baseball.  With such a long season, I’m often tempted not to tune in until the playoff races start getting interesting.  MAYBE around the All-Star break.  (Why then?  Seven words: Ken. Griffey. Junior. Super. Nintendo. Homerun. Derby.)  To help set the mood for the season (and to perhaps encourage greater participation on my part), I’d like to take a look back at three of my favorite baseball movies: Major League, The Sandlot, and A League of Their Own.  (I realize there are tons of great baseball movies. I’m not saying these are the top three -- okay, I am and if you disagree you're a fool. But if I tried to discuss all of them, this would go on forever... forever…forever…)   These are some my favorite moments from each film, as well as a few general thoughts and lingering questions.
