Willy Mays Hays, Wild Thing, etc.<BR/><BR/>Love Billy Chapel too from For the Love of the Game. <BR/><BR/>Paul Newman from Slapshot. <BR/><BR/>Now those are great sports movies.<BR/><BR/>All of the goofball Adam Sandlers' characters are an insult to a list like this. How can you even take this columnist seriously? I mean a month before baseball season begins Major League is shown a dozen times prior. That isn't happening with any other movie. Kind of on par with A Christmas Story on Christmas Day.
