    2 correct.

    The real answer was Field of Dreams, Pride of the Yankees, and Air Bud: Seventh Inning Fetch.

    Or was that last one Moneyball? It was the one with Royce Clayton in it...

    As you are clearly a connoisseur of awful movies where animals play human sports, what are your top 3 in that genre? And why don’t you think “Gus” belongs?

    Gus was no joke. Remember renting that on DVD back in the day.

    1. Air Bud 2: Golden Receiver
    2. MVP 2: Most Vertical Primate
    3. Matilda (the boxing kangaroo)

    Gus is the clear king.

    I can confess that I didn’t look. And when I watched it all those years ago it wasn’t the uncut version...

    I highly recommend Full Count on Netflix. Not a baseball movie, but starts out as one and then turns into a feel good story about having faith in humanity. A little bit of everything we need right now

    I wanted to do another trivia question about baseball movies, and not an easy one.

    I figured I’d ask “what actor has appeared in the most baseball movies?” Good question.

    The problem is, I have no idea what actor has appeared in the most baseball movies. And merely googling it is not much help. But there are probably close to 100 baseball movies out there, and I can’t even name them all let alone review the casts.

    As far as my cursory research goes, the leader is Dennis Haysbert, with 4 baseball movies (Major League, Major League II, Major League: Back to the Minors, Mr. Baseball). The problem is another actor named Michael Papajohn also appeared in 4 baseball movies (The Babe, Mr. Baseball, Little Big League, For the Love of the Game), and I never heard of him before.

    I can think of a few actors to do 3 baseball movies, including Kevin Costner (Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, For the Love of the Game), Charlie Sheen (Major League, Major League II, Eight Men Out) and Corbin Bernson (all three Major League movies.)

    Are there others? Anyone have any idea what actor has appeared in the most baseball movies? Anyone else with three or four that I forgot?

    There were 3 original Bad News Bears movies with a lot of the team played by the same actors.

    I clearly don't watch enough movies.

    Either that, or you guys watch far too many.
