Lists
I've been thinking a lot about lists recently. It started a few weeks ago when I began mentally ranking the top five overrated Seattle Mariners. Later it was the top baseball movies of all time. And today, it was thoughts of the worst Presidents. In the spirit of thrift, I present my combined overrtated Seattle Mariners/Best Baseball Movies/Worst Presidents list for your consideration.
1. Richie Sexson
2. James Buchanan
3. Pride of the Yankees
3. Adrian Beltre
4. Major League
5. George W. Bush
6. Eddie Guardado
7. Little Big League
8. Herbert Hoover
9. The episode of the Munsters with Leo Durocher
10. Richie Sexson again
11. The episode of the Brady Bunch with Don Drysdale
12. William McKinley
13. Felix Hernandez
14. The Rookie
15. Ulysses S. Grant

does the naked gun count as a baseball movie because i love "bloopers"
"Bloopers" is a fun word. Bloopers.
Leo Durocher and The Munsters is an obvious home run. The Brady Bunch and Don Drysdale, even in seventh, as opposed to the eleventh, is an obvious stretch. But, the word "episode" should tell even a baseball fan that no movies were involved. So, to be true to the movies, yet one with the new fusion spirit of list making (a tremendous idea, by the way) I suggest Mr. Baseball—it put bows and noodles in the ball park—and Casino. What a great Sports/Vegas tie-in. Didn't they beat Nicky's brother half to death with baseball bats, while Nicky was forced to watch, before burying him still alive in the desert? Say, was Kevin Bacon in that one?
how did you leave jay buhner off your list? the bad new bears with billy bob thornton deserves to be included also.
