I know that there are numerous threads on favorite movies, but I don't think this has been done before ...
What's your favorite line about baseball in any movie (note: this thread is not limited to just baseball movies, though I suspect most of the lines will come from them for obvious reasons.)
For me its one of the following three --
"The game doesn't stink, Mr. Wheeler. It's a great game." - Billy Chapel in "For Love of the Game"
"The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come." -Terrance Mann in "Field of Dreams"
"It's fun, that's what it is, it's fun. Baseball is more fun than anything else. You can watch it and just love it and enjoy it. I don't think that there's anything tremendously philosophical about it. I don't think there's anything metaphysical I just think its so much fun to watch." - Robert Creamer in Ken Burns "Baseball" Inning One.
