Moneyball, 2011 - ★★★★½

My favorite baseball movie of the 21st century - and one of the best to show the anxieties the game creates. A reminder that the first to go through the wall always gets their teeth bloodied. They don’t even put batting average on the screen at Citifield any longer.

Still how can you not be romantic about baseball. It is the greatest sport and the worst sport and it’s given me more joy and sorrow than anything without meaning has any right to. 

A tough watch after the Mets have lost 13 of their last 16!
