With Baseball season in full swing, we thought it’d be appropriate to dive into classic films that find a home on the diamond. America’s Favorite Pastime is the pastime of the Gimme Three Podcast this week.
Listen to host Nicholas Ybarra's torment over his love/hate relationship with the sport, and find out if host Bella Efstratis was finally able to shed a tear for a sports movie.
First up, the 1976 Michael Ritchie classic, The Bad News Bears. Crude, rude, and profane - but loaded with heart. Second, one of Nick’s favorite films of all time: Penny Marshall’s A League of Their Own. Finally, our audience selected one of the most beloved modern baseball films; Brad Pitt stars as Billy Beane in Moneyball.Let us know what you think of these fantastic flicks, and let us know what your favorite baseball film is.
