I SAW the movie. The commercial was better.
Houston Astros: “The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training.”
New Orleans Saints - Number One
The movie for the Anaheim Angels should be “The Naked Gun.”
How about “Black Sunday” for the Steelers or Cowboys?
The Cleveland Browns movie should be “Thr Fortune Cookie” a 1960s Jack Lemon Walter Mathau comedy about a photographer who gets run over on the sidelines by a Browns player and the lawsuit that followed.
Atlanta Braves - Slugger’s Wife. As I remember it was a really weird concoction that had a rock star fall in love with a Brave’s pitcher and jinxes him by that falling in love.
Tampa Bay Devil* Rays - The Rookie
A League of Their Own for the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.
Mentioned in post #4, with respect to the Rockford Peaches.
I had expected the Yankees, Dodgers or even the Cubs to have the most, but using my memory (granted, not fantastic) The Cards seem to have quite a few.
*Winning Team *(about Grover Cleveland Alexander) starring Ronald Reagan featured mostly the St. Louis Cards but also had the Cubs in there.
The Monte Stratton Story starring James Stewart and June Allison also featured the Cards.
Strategic Air Command also starring James Stewart and June Allison (as I remember it) and the main character was a Card third baseman (when he wasn’t flying planes for SAC).
It Happens Every Spring A fun comedy about a physics professor who invents a substance which when applied to a baseball will cause it to avoid wood (i.e. baseball bats). It is a fun film starring Ray Milland as the inventor/pitcher and Paul Douglas as his catcher. I know the team featured is a St. Louis team, but I am not sure if it is the Cards or Browns. I lean toward the Cardinals because it is after the heyday of the Browns when it was made.
*Mr. Baseball *starring Tom Selleck had two real baseball teams featured: The Detroit Tigers (I think), and the Chunchi Dragons of Nagoya Japan a very good professional team in Japan.
For most iconic film about the Yankees, it could easily be either The Babe Ruth Story (with William Bendix) or * Safe at Home* with Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris in key roles in the movie. If I remember correctly, Yogi was kind of key, too, but they didn’t let him say much.
The Fabulous Freebirds - Highlander
Yeah, I’m pretty sure Red Sox nation generally says Thanks, but no thanks, to being represented by a poorly-done remake of a movie originally about Arsenal Football Club. Let Arsenal get the original movie, and for the Red Sox, just leave it blank, please, rather than this.
Was there something in this movie about the 49ers or even San Francisco, that I forgot? Set in Rhode Island and Miami, and with a small but key role played by a Green Bay Packer player, I’m not sure how it represents SF.
If we include minor league, then college football and basketball have to come in, right?
Notre Dame football has at least Knute Rockne All American, and Rudy, I think.
Mary: “What did I tell you the first time we met? I’m a Niners fan!”
And I guess Forrest Gump for Alabama.
