Rogers hornsby was my manager, and he called me a walking pile of pig shit, and that was when my parents DROVE FROM MICHIGAN TO SEE ME PLAY THE GAME. AND DID I CRY?

He was the Mexican Groom/assassin? I didn’t know that. I honestly don’t recall hearing about him until he was announced as the superbowl halftime show. But this week I noticed I have two songs he collaborated on that are on some old playlists. Maybe I knew about and then forgot .

Matt Berrys too funny for the serious Attenborough stuff

Why is it that I hate watching baseball, but love baseball movies? Bull Durham, For Love of The Game, The Rookie, Moneyball, The Sandlot, A League of Their Own, there’s a lot of good ones.
18
FearlessAttempt Mar 27, 2026 +12
In a condensed format with all the boring bits cut out baseball is very entertaining. I'd add The Natural, Rookie of the Year, and Little Big League to that list.

How a Puerto Rican fits in with a baseball movie?
75
levendis56 Mar 27, 2026 +8
That’s like saying a black American fits into a movie about basketball simply because they’re black.
8
Frostmoth76 Mar 27, 2026 +20
bad bunny is a huge baseball fan my guy. also baseball is huge in puerto rican culture so we can assume the average puerto rican would be interested in being in a movie like this. as a puerto rican man myself
20
InvestigatorSad1131 Mar 27, 2026 +3
The only issue is, Bad Bunny himself has said he prefers to WATCH sports. He did do a celebrity baseball game a few years ago and actually got on base! Then again, Thomas Jane never picked up a baseball bat or glove and went on to play, very convincingly, Mickey Mantle in the move 61\*
3
SnuggleBunni69 Mar 27, 2026 +18
I get what you're saying, but Puerto Rico is f****** crazy about baseball.
18
WhichHoes Mar 27, 2026 +16
As far as acting? Yeah. A fit tall black guy in a basketball movie doesnt really make anyone bat an eye.

Scabdidlybastard Mar 27, 2026 +5
Maybe it’s mostly because of Colman Domingo being mentioned, but… I’d love if it is a direct sequel, and this time around Jimmy Dugan is somehow roped into coaching a gay softball team. The math should work, more or less.
