Important question facing our country

[Terror Beard]

Which baseball movie is better - Major League or Bull Durham?

I watched parts of both last night and I can't really call it. Both movies are outstanding.

Great question.

I've got Major League by a hair. Bob Uecker seals it for me...he's laugh out loud funny in every scene he's in.

I'm guessing this will be a young vs old argument. Older posters choosing BD and younger choosing ML.

So I originally thought that and had to google it...they came out 1 year apart. I was shocked.

Interesting. Bull Durham was made in 1988 and Major League in 1989. Why would you think age has something to do with it?

 

[Terror Beard]

I'm not gonna lie, I kind of have a thing for Susan Sarandon.

I literally thought the same thing as @tarheel0910. I don't know why BD feels much older than ML.

ML had more of a younger feel to it though. That's why I was thinking it would appeal more to the younger crowd. That's been my experience with everyone I know. My dad and his friends would say BD and all the people my age say ML.

It's the style of the humor and the cast.

I watched Major League when it came out but I didn't see Bull Durham until I was in college, maybe my 3rd year.

I can agree with that. Bull Durham might be considered a "romantic comedy" whereas Major League is a straight up comedy. I think Bull Durham deals with slightly more mature subject matter.

Major League is so quotable.

"JUUUUUST a bit outside, he tried the corner and missed"
"You may run like Hayes, but you hit like shit"
"Are you saying Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball"

Oh yeah, top 5 quotable for me.

"Hey bartender, Joe Boo needs a refill."

"He leads the American League in most offensive categories including nose hair."

"We're all out of towels and I'm too old to go diving into lockers."

Have you seen her daughter?

No. Should I?

I can’t understand why.

 

[ticket2ride04]

No. Should I?

Well, at least this time we knew who “someone’s” daughter was. And for that, I am thankful.

But Susan Sarandon is someone’s daughter in her own right. Will it never end?

The short answer is No. But we must carry on.
