Eight Men Out
DVD
(1988)
Eliot Asinof's detailed book Eight Men Out illustrates how the system of American sports collapsed in 1919, the year the Chicago White
Sox threw the World Series. Filmmaker John Sayles worked on his script years before the 1988 film (or before he had the rights to make
the film) as a labor of love.
|
|
The Natural
DVD
(1984)
From the sun-dappled heartland, a young man (Robert Redford, in soft lighting) emerges as maybe the best baseball player anybody's
ever seen. On his way to the majors, he is cut down by an enigmatic black widow (Barbara Hershey) and vanishes for many years. When
he reemerges, a silent mystery, he lands a spot with the New York team and begins tearing up the league--he's still the natural.
|
 |
Field of Dreams
DVD
(1989)
A phenomenal hit when it was released in 1989, Field of Dreams has become a modern classic and a uniquely American slice of cinema.
It functions effectively as a moving drama about the power of dreams, a fantasy ode to our national pastime, and a brilliant adaptation of
W.P. Kinsella's exquisite baseball novel Shoeless Joe.

 |
Baseball
(1989) DVD
After the national success of his 11-hour epic, The Civil War--the highest-rated miniseries in public-television history--many wondered if
Ken Burns could capture the same energy and passion with smaller subjects. His reply, the 18-hour history of America's greatest sport,
Baseball, not only quieted these worries, it also perhaps surpassed his prior achievement.
