Bull Durham

Major League
Caddyshack

Any Given Sunday

Bad News Bears  (the original 1970's one with Walter Matthau...quite politically incorrect)

 

 

These are just a few that immediately came to mind.  I'm not saying the are the best but they are entertaining.

"Eight Men Out" was the movie about the 1919 Chicago Black Sox scandal.

 

"42" was a biographical movie about Jackie Robinson.  I watched them film certain parts of that movie in Chattanooga.  They came in and remade the old Engel Stadium to look like Ebbets Field.  It was interesting to see what all goes into the process of filming a scene for a movie.
