My Baseball Movie Fiction All Stars

The Hollywood Fictions: I picked this 22-man roster of fictional All Star baseball movie players for the first time this morning. If some o the more elite magical stars could perform in reality as they have on the screen, we wouldn't need all 22 to defeat either of the two big league 2013 All Star teams, with or without the DH rule in place. My weakest spot is 2nd base, whee I placed Richard Pryor after I could not come up with a better fictional 2nd base candidate than relocated outfielder

The Hollywood Fictions: I picked this 22-man roster of fictional All Star baseball movie players for the first time this morning. If some of the more elite magical stars could perform in reality as they have on the screen, we wouldn’t need all 22 to defeat either of the two big league 2013 All Star teams, with or without the DH rule in place. My weakest spot is 2nd base, where I placed Richard Pryor after I could not come up with a better fictional 2nd base candidate than the relocated outfielder Charlie Snow that Richard Pryor played in Bingo Long.

Additions and changes are most welcome here. So let me hear from you. All I know is that this club’s lineup has one of the strongest power one-thirds in the 3-4-5 holes that the game has ever seen. It also helps to have a pitching ace that uses a chemical fluid that makes the ball wood-repellent. 🙂

I love all of your players, but I’d encourage you to give some thought to adding some of the great women ballplayers as well. There could be several candidates from “A league of Their Own,” but I guess catcher Dottie Hinson (Geena Davis) would be at the top of the list. And I’m partial to the original “Bad News Bears,” so I’d add Amanda Whurlitzer (Tatum O’Neal) at pitcher. As for guys, Kelly Leak (Jackie Earle Haley) could play for my team any day.Which brings me to recommending you add a category for managers, and I’d vote for Morris Buttermaker (Walter Matthau) from “Bad News Bears.” He even cleans pools, at least when he’s sober.

As long as Ray Milland didn’t get hurt–or run out of “stuff” that team would never lose! I really like that outfield too.
