Raging Bull ... the Jake LaMotta tragedy
Bang The Drum Slowly... DeNiro as a dying baseball player... the 1970's
Gentleman Jim... Erroll Flynn as Jim Corbett, San Francisco dandy and Fancy Dan boxer who dethroned John L. Sullivan .... 1940's
Requiem For A Heavyweight ... early '60's? Anthony Quinn as the washed up pug trying to outdistance his past
A League Of Their Own ... Why? A team of attractive girls stretching and sliding and half-clad in the locker room, why not?
Plus, if you ever played baseball, you know that the Tom Hanks, drunken, belligerent manager was not an over the top characterization....

Some of my favorites are:
1. Remember the Titans
2. Brian's Song
3. Rocky
4. Glory Road
5. Million Dollar Baby
but there's quite a few more, including Raging Bull, Field of Dreams, etc.

There haven't been five. There probably wasn't eve one. Why, oh why, is there not a single actor listed with central casting who has ever thrown a baseball in his life?
Oh, alright: Some good ones not yet mentioned:
The Slaughter Rule
Running Brave
Ice Princess
Bend it Like Beckham
Muriel's Wedding (about a South African olympic swimmer.)
Honorable mention: Dodge Ball
All of which were "better movies" than things like Major League or Bull Durham or North Dallad Forty.
