Just as there are different eras and types of Ballparks, I have created a few more categories:
Best “Middle Era”
1. Dodger Stadium
2. Kauffman Stadium
3. Busch Stadium (1966-2004)
4. Memorial Stadium (Baltimore)
5. County Stadium (Milwaukee)
Worst All-Time
1. Olympic Stadium
2. Tropicana Field
3. Metrodome
4. Veterans Stadium
5. Skydome
Best Baseball Movies
1. The Pride of the Yankees
2. Field of Dreams
3. Eight Men Out
4. The Soul of the Game
5. 61*
5. Sugar (Azucar)
"Sugar" was made in 2009, and tells the story of a young pitcher from a Dominican baseball camp who comes to America, and experiences extreme culture shock living on a family farm in Iowa while he is pitching in the Minors. His situation is exacerbated by the fact that he does not speak English. The movie is not preachy, and the ending while not happy, is interesting. If you like baseball, you will enjoy this.
