Baseball Collection (Widescreen)

Last Minute Sales & Specials

"Baseball Collection" includes: "Bad News Bears" (2005) - Billy Bob Thornton stars in this fresh take on the irreverent 1976 comedy hit. Thornton is a grizzled former minor league baseball player who is recruited to coach a woefully inept Little League team to championship against their hated rivals, the Yankees. "Bang the Drum Slowly" - Moriarty plays the team's ace pitcher and social charmer; De Niro is the catcher, a farm boy from Georgia who lacks all of Moriarty's sophistication. He is also dying. During their last season together on a team fraught with bickering and infighting, the two men grow into manhood and respect for themselves and each other. "Fear Strikes Out" - Anthony Perkins stars as Piersall in this powerful true story. "Fear Strikes Out" also marks the filmmaking debut of Alan J. Pakula and Robert Mulligan, the team whose credits include "To Kill A Mockingbird". From top to bottom, the film fields a stellar lineup of talent. And the result is a drama of unflinching force and effectiveness. "Hardball" - Conor O'Neill (Reeves) is a down-on-his-luck gambler in debt to dangerous loan sharks. Desperate for cash, Conor reluctantly takes a job coaching a youth baseball team. The "team" turns out to be a ragtag group of tough-talking kids from Chicago's inner city. "Major League" - She's beautiful, smart, goal-oriented, and she just inherited the Cleveland Indians. Unfortunately, she wants to move the franchise to Miami, and a losing season is her only ticket to Florida. So she signs the wildest gang of screwballs that ever spit tobacco. They're handsome, but they're hopeless! "Talent For The Game" - Major League baseball scout Virgil Sweet lives for the coming of spring - the scent of fresh-cut grass, the sight of blistering fastballs burrowing into a catcher's mitt, the sound of the umpire's "play ball." But this spring Virgil's career is threatened when the team's new owner decides to eliminate the scouting program... and Virgil along with it.
