This was supposed to be the week of MLB's Opening Day. So while baseball is still on hiatus, how can you get your fix of America's past time? Gather the family around the TV and binge-watch some great baseball movies! This week on Caught Listening, join Christian Heimall as he discusses some of the best films about baseball of all-time and which ones you need to put on the ""must watch"" list.
Joining him on the show is Matt Martell, MLB writer for Sports Illustrated, who recently wrote about this exact topic. The guys dive into the list he helped put together, what makes a great baseball movie, and whether or not a documentary counts. They will touch on everything from the Kevin Costner baseball trilogy, to the biopics of such legends as Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson. Christian and Matt also break down the perfect balance between the mysticism of Hollywood and the actual facts of the history of the sport and give some love to their favorite baseball movie of all-time.
The two also play a game of ""Pepper"" with questions submitted by you the fans, including their least favorite baseball movie ever! You can be a part of the show each and every week by submitting your questions on social media. Next week, Matt rejoins the show to talk about best baseball books so reserve your spot on the program!
