Why Baseball is the Best Movie Sport

I want  want to apologize for the late post here. Last night I used a YouTube Premiere for the first time to release the video, and it threw off my usual release routine and I just...forgot to do the Patreon post. It won't happen again!

Anyway here's another episode! Wow these keep ending up really long, huh? This is another classic instance of us deciding to cover a topic that is not remotely topical that most of our audience probably isn't interested in at all...but hopefully you give it a shot. I think it's a fun one!

And we've got some wild developments in the ongoing story of the season.

Enjoy!

It really doesn't matter!

Another great video! Question for you -- I tend to watch your videos on Nebula. Is that better/worse/the same for you, monetarily, as if I watched on YouTube?

Andy Hunter

Loved the video. I feel validated for liking field of dreams, my friends kinda make fun of me for that one lol

As two people whose favorite sport is baseball, we really appreciated this video. I (Fleat) am a little confused why it stopped at the 80s tho. Was that just nostalgia, or did the movies after that overlap with the “music biopic” video with its cliche tropes afterwards?

Patrick, if you have the time to watch it, I think you’ll enjoy the NBA in its current form.

Pat, this is truly one of the greatest film essays committed to YouTube. Whenever I am asked in future why I like baseball, I shall direct them to this.

The first time one of the Ken Burns-style text cards came up, I did in fact laugh out loud. Well played, sir. Well played. (Oh yes, I did watch that series on PBS when it aired. Because I'm an Old.)

I still maintain that the soundtrack slaps.

Good job at dunking on Space Jam.

Watch the YouTube Premiere last night. Great video ❤️ Loving the continued world building in your essays meta-narrative.

Only halfway through but still holding my breath for a Naked Gun cut-to...

I just watched it. It has been really interesting, specially from the point of view of someone out of the US, where baseball is not followed, like, at all... I think that the main point of being so successful is the "duel" aspect that you comment. Other sports are less naturally focused in one-on-one duel.

Thanks! Can't wait to watch
