Pastime
Plays an honorable game, tackling the touchy subject of ageism on the baseball field. But it’s ultimately a hollow attempt, one that thinks that just by touching on a subject that it makes up a plot.

Hustle
[Sizemore’s] performance can best be summed up as Al Pacino by way of Moe from The Three Stooges.

Fear Strikes Out
A cold biopic that doesn’t hold up now that its subject matter has left the spotlight.

Bottom of the Ninth
Although it might be a love story to baseball and the competitive spirit to win, it’s also redundant as a film when like footage and story lines can be found on any station that airs even a little bit of baseball.

The Winning Season
Although not horrible, it’s also a bit of a moral mess at times that is far too predictable, even when you look at it as a relatively harmless family film.

Talent for the Game
It’s by no means some sort of quote-whoringly “fantastic stuff,” “the best baseball movie since Ken Burns took 18 hours of my life” or even “a home run.” Sometimes a solid single is all that it takes.

Headin’ Home
An odd film with little story, Headin’ Home has a big place in sports history, offering an early look at Babe Ruth.

Ed
A monkey playing baseball, what could be cuter? In the case of Bill Couturié’s Ed, you could slap Chunk from The Goonies in in some Victoria’s Secret lingerie and you’d have something more attractive.

Ball of Wax
In Daniel Kraus’ dark baseball film Ball of Wax, life on the diamond is clearly no longer a sport. It’s something sinister, like a virus refusing to let go of its host.

American Pastime
Full of interesting characters and placed in a charged setting, but the preachy and obvious spin it takes is ultimately melodramatic and predictable.
