5. I have a book about baseball movies
It lists so many... unfortunately, it's in a box somewhere. I think this is it (from Amazon):

Baseball in the Movies: A Comprehensive Reference, 1915-1991
by Hal Erickson

18. my favorite is an old one
"It Happens Every Spring" with Ray Milland. Professor invents a lotion that repels wood, uses it on baseballs and nobody can get a hit. Cracks me up every time.

Best baseball movie all time: Bull Durham, no contest

Worst baseball movie all time: Babe Ruth Story (with William Bendix - John Goodman made a really bad version a few years ago but nowhere near as bad as this turkey).
