Re: Favorite TV/Movie Athletes?

Great idea. These aren't in a particular order because that's too difficult:

Forrest Gump
Clifford Franklin - The Replacements
Shooter McGavin - Happy Gilmore
Rube Baker - Major League 2 and 3
Brickma - Rookie of the Year (I don't remember his first name.. Jack maybe?)
Crash Davis - Bull Durham
Roy McAvoy - Tin Cup
Tweeder - Varsity Blues
Billy Heywood - Little Big League
Ham Porter - The Sandlot
Kevin O'Shea - Little Giants
Ernie McCracken - Kingpin (If bowlers count)

There are a lot more I'm sure, but I'll stop there

How about Robert De Niro as Bruce Pearson in "Bang the Drum Slowly"???

Heavy on the "Brian's Song" style melodrama, but a very worthwhile document of 50's baseball, from the perspective of the 1970's...

"The football is like a one-man cold to Clifford Franklin. Clifford Franklin's the only man catchin' it.. Clifford Franklin's the only man comin' down with it."

One of my favorite quotes of all-time.

Re: Favorite TV/Movie Athletes?

The part where Franklin starts the singing/dancing in the Jail Cell is probably one of my favorite scenes.

Going to revise my list later after seeing all of the guys I forgot
