Weekly Alternatives: ‘Eight Men Out,’ ‘Fever Pitch’ and ‘Major League’

NOTE FROM BRAD: It is my fault this wasn’t posted last Friday. Complete oversight on my part, but thankfully Kevin’s angle last week relates to something this week so posting it late doesn’t really seem out of place. Plus, it means you get a double dose of Weekly Alternatives this week.

Since MLB opening day arrives next this week, I figured I’d devote this column to some of my favorite baseball movies. Given the name of my column, I decided to avoid the usual suspects (Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, The Natural,, etc.) and feature some movies that don’t typically land on or near the top of those “best baseball movies” lists.
