    TalkSox Baseball Movie Club

    Due to the lack of baseball, there has been a lack of baseball talk on here lately. To help combat this, we are starting a Baseball Movie Club where we watch a movie and then will discuss it after. The plan is to watch one movie per week and to try to pick movies that are readily available (i.e. Netflix or some other streaming service).

    This week's movie is Battered Bastards of Baseball which is on Netflix. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3445270/

    Does this include documentaries?

    Oh okay good. May I suggest a poll where we can vote on nominated movies each week and we decide on one.

    Yes, I’ll add a poll for the next movie.

    I may be the only person in the universe that doesn't have Netflix. I just don't watch a lot of tv/movies.

    Also, you need to set a date and time for when the discussion will start, or in other words, a 'deadline' by which the movie needs to be watched.

    When will the discussion begin? Will it only be Baseball movies?

    Just watched it. A little slow to get going, but worthwhile in the end. Can't wait to discuss with y'all

    That's an awesome movie. I saw it a few weeks ago. Great choice.

    Thank goodness you didn't pick "The Natural". Just watched that for the first time at about the same time. What a piece of garbage.
    In the town where I was born
    Lived a man who sailed to sea
    And he told us of his life
    In the land of submarines
    So we sailed up to the sun
    'Til we found a sea of green
    And we lived beneath the waves
    In our yellow submarine

    There was another one about steroids and baseball on Netflix. I'll try to find it and give you the name. It will blow your mind. It's a documentary and they interview the main guy that had that facility in Florida that was supplying the stuff for many MLB players. The part A-Rod had in the whole thing is nutz
