Movies featuring pro sports teams

A few reaches:

Victor French wore an Oakland A's hat on "Highway to Heaven".

Flash Gordon was quarterback of the New York Jets.

 

I will submit:

New York Giants -- "The Big Leaguer" (Carl Hubbell makes an appearance; Hans Lobert's name does, but his face sure looks like Edward G. Robinson's!)

"The Winning Team" is a way better selection than "The Pride of St. Louis" for the Redbirds, IMO.
"Cobb" for the Tigers, of course.
Fuck Jimmy Fallon -- go with "Fear Strikes Out" for the Red Sox.

Don't forget to update this thread with the A's selection next year: "Moneyball," featuring Brad Pitt.

Holy crap, I almost forgot!

Cincinnati Reds -- "Hu$tle"

 

I'd give it to "Pride of the Yankees" myself.

 

Ace Ventura and the Dolphins.

 

NBA
Fictional team, but Lil Bow Wow made the NBA for the Knights in "Like Mike," and several NBA players/teams appeared in "Space Jam" to help Jordan take on a bunch of cartoon's and save the world.

MLB
Minnesota Twins - Little Big League
NY Yankees - The Scout
California Angels - Talent for the Game

NFL
NY Giants - Big Fan

 

I like that one too.

 

What about "It happens every spring". Actually a pretty good movie.

 

Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island.

 

Is that the scientist who invents the repellent that makes the ball avoid wood? If so, I thank you, because I have been going nuts trying to think of the title. It is a good one.

 

There was a made-for-TV movie from around 1986 whose title I cannot remember that had a kid with a magic shoe become the kicker for the Chicago Bears.

This movie had a memorable guest appearance by Kevin Butler.

 

Nice. That is, without question, the greatest tome ever filmed about basketball.

 

Bang the Drum Slowly

I know it is the NY Mammoths, but its the Yankees.
